Occupant protection
Despite the lack of a roof structure, the
convertible driver is provided with sufficient
protection in the event of a rollover, and a
saloon-like survival space is preserved.
The conceptual drawback of open-top convertibles is offset in the Audi TT roadster by a
highly effective and yet exceedingly aesthetic
solution.
Two roll bars anchored to the vehicle body
and projecting beyond the two head
restraints, in combination with the ultra-rigid
A pillar / windscreen cross-member combination, afford the vehicle occupants highly
effective protection even in the event of a
rollover.

The A pillar comprises a pipe-in-pipe system
reinforced with high-tensile steel.
In addition, tubular aluminium roll bars
adapted from the body contours of the
vehicle occupants give the roadster a special,
sporty look.
You can find information regarding further occupant protection measures in
SSP 207.
