Audi has yet to show off the exterior of its next generation TT sports car, but the German auto manufacturers is taking the opportunity to showcase the vehicle’s interior at CES.
When it comes to the interior design, Audi has done away with what has become a growing trend — for better or worse — in automotive interior design: huge, central display screens. Many cars today come with large central displays that present infotainment options and vehicle navigation. In the case of the Tesla Model S, its center stack is dominated by a huge, 17” display.
Audi, on the other hand, has completely removed the central display unit and replaced it with a 12.3” display screen directly in front of the driver. Not only does it provide basic information like speed, RPM, and fuel levels like you would typically expect in “Classic” mode, but it can also present all entertainment options to the driver as well as an overlay for navigation in “Infotainment” mode.
Another ingenious touch are the air vents, which Audi says are shaped like jet engines. The actual controls for air conditioning are contained within the vents, while a small LCD on the center of each vent displays the current temperature.
Taken in total, Audi’s design decisions with the interior makes for an uncluttered look and allows the driver to focus more on driving. The company has definitely impressed us with the next generation TT’s interior, so we can’t wait to see how they deliver with the exterior.

I kinda like the minimalist dash, though I'm curious if the screen is capable of being dimmed even more than what it would when you turn the headlights on. One of the things I like doing while driving on dark roads, especially on highways like the Coquihalla is to dim all the lights in the car down until all you've got visible is the speedo. Helps with your night vision quite a bit. I can imagine car's infotainment screens nowadays affecting it quite badly.

Looks exactly like the current one as far as I'm concerned.

It's a TT, nothing else left to be said really aside from that.
I do absolutely love the concept and appearance of the interior, but I'm questioning its actual functionality with the absence of essentially the entire centre control area.

Because the controls for the radio, and the center console and stuff are altogether too driver centric, it becomes a pain for the passenger to do anything such as find CD's in the center console or change the music. This is because the angle of the head unit is towards the driver, and the center console door opens against the side of the passenger.
What I am getting at, is that the new TT's design would drive me personally, up the wall. I mean am I missing something, or is there absolutely no way for the passenger to adjust anything in the car...?
With that said, in some cases this could be a good thing, but the vast majority of the time when on trips or longer rides, I think this is kinda stupid.
