Carscoops's spies caught a regular TT prototype being tested in cold-weather conditions, wearing the traditional pair of projector lights. The Audi TT will receive a mid-life update sometime next year, focusing more on adding the latest technologies the firm has to offer.

The limited amount of camouflage on the prototype also means that you shouldn’t expect any major visual changes; just the usual refresh of the LED lights, along with some small tweaks on bumpers, side sills and a new pattern for the mesh grille design.

  
The cabin will be updated of course with Audi’s latest tech features, including the newest version of the Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, as well as new trim and color options. Audi’s semi-autonomous systems will also debut in the TT as well.

As for the engines, there’s really not much too talk about; Audi will keep the current range on offer, including the regular 2.0-liter TFSI and TDI units while there are some reports talking about the introduction of the VW Group’s 1.5-liter TSI engine as a new base model. The range-topping TT RS will stick with the 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder unit.

The revised version of the popular Audi TT is expected to hit the European market in 2018.
