According to this week's Autocar, the new TT is a clever mix of steel and aluminium. The magazine reports that Audi has found a way to bond steel and aluminium. I don't know how true this is, because such science is the Holy Grail of metallurgy. Given that steel has a great torsional rigidity than aluminium, it appears that the core chassis will utilise an adapted Golf V platform made out of steel but with aluminium for the suspension, transmission tunnel, body panels and other non-load bearing components.
