During this year, Nothelle looks back on a forty-year history of vehicle individualisation programs. Since 1967, the name Nothelle has been affiliated with supreme engineering aesthetics. Nothelle offers an unmatched array of extensive experience far beyond any other company within this field. Hardly any other company has gathered such a wealth of experience. The refinement program for top-range Audi models meets the highest standards and combines experiences acquired from motorsport with the traditional Nothelle values of quality and exclusivity. The enthusiasm for motor sports and innovative concepts is the foundation of the individualisation programs for vehicles from Audi.

For its anniversary year 2007, featured highlights offered from the Nothelle program include extensive modifications for Audi TT, including both Coupe and Roadster versions.

Aerodynamic, Design, Sport Exhaust System
With the aim of giving the TT an individualised and emotionally expressive look, Nothelle offers a shapely aerodynamic kit for a perfect match to the Audi original design really spicing it up.

A three-piece front spoiler as well as other front apron air intakes (Double Frames) bestow the TT an expressive face. The Nothelle side sill elements give the Audi TT a much sturdier profile building up a sort of lateral muscle mass look. In back, a rear apron in special Nothelle design comes with complete, perfectly integrated end pipes extending from the silencer - which is offered by Nothelle in combination with the rear apron - guaranteeing a super spine-tingling sound with very distinctive rear view. Perfect to the completion of the rear, Nothelle provides a 3-part rear spoiler providing extra downforce and particularly at higher speeds, a better stabilisation effect. Additionally, Nothelle offers a roof spoiler, excluding however the Roadster version.

Sport Suspension System
Because reduction to the center of gravity results in better agility, Nothelle offers a set of sport springs. This brings TT to about a 25 mm lowering. The high-end solution in Nothelle program is a coilover suspension with integrated adjustable compression and rebound settings. The driver can choose from three different shock absorbing levels. The suspension strut housing is made of high value stainless steel, with anodised suspension plates and gaskets of Teflon. The material provides for long-lasting life and offers something for the eye as well. Not a bad investment, in terms of the pleasure endowed while taking those curves quick as a flash.

Motor Performance Increase
Matching the racier look, Nothelle makes available more zest for the TT motor as well. The Ratingen (Germany) based Audi specialists help the 2.0 TFSI Motor (series-produced 200 hp) to charge forward with four different performance increase programs. From Chip tuning (40 hp and 75 Nm) through to complete rebuild (130 hp and 120 Nm) anything is possible. Then, Nothelle drops the big one: A world premiere is celebrated for the 3.2 V6 being modified through twin turbo technology. This increases performance up to 520 hp and 635 Nm and a Vmax of approximately 308 km/h turning the TT from the underdog to a Porsche-killer per se! The conversion is available for manually shifted versions as well as for TTs with DSG-transmission (direct shift gearbox). The conversion of course includes a reinforced clutch and a specially adapted gear transmission ratio. Because on one hand the sheer power should be transmitted without causing damage, and on the other hand it should enable a full gallop of the 520 ponies.

Light Alloy wheels
The superior, distinctive and modern design of the “NOVEDRA IX” is immediately noticeable, due to its complete self-containment. The nine spokes (hence “IX”) consists of a broad basic design in which a slender ridge runs into the rim flange. The sporty dynamics of this perfectly-shaped masterpiece makes every vehicle look fast even while when just standing still. These are offered in 20-inch for the Audi TT by Nothelle.

Nothelle makes available no less than 4 different surface finishes. For variations “silver”, “white”, and “black” the spokes and rim flange are polished. Trendy again particularly for white vehicles is the white finish really standing out with an individualised look.

The variation “NOVEDRA IX brilliant” features an elaborate, high-polished finish available by Nothelle through special ball-polishing techniques and high-polished clearcoat. Through these processes, the wheel not only receives its own individual non-imitable look, but possesses increased durability as well. The sealing of the surface occurs through a transparent baked-on lacquer finishing process.

The attractive wheels are made available from Nothelle as a set with tyres in sizes 255/30-20, contributed by its technology partners Hankook and Continental.

The Nothelle wheels, manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy, stand out because of their minimal weight. This means reduced unsprung mass, decreased wheel tramp resulting in increased driving comfort. Over and above this, large spacing between spokes guarantees prefect cooling of the brake system.

Also optional is the Nothelle “NOVEDRA VII SPORT” wheel in multiple-parts look available in 8.5 x 19″.
