Audi and Joost Arijs have made the most Belgian thing ever: a chocolate-covered TT
At the 24th International Biannual Design Fair in Belgium, Audi teamed with Joost Arijs patisserie to create probably the most Belgian thing ever: a TT completely covered in designer chocolate.
27,000 separate pieces were used to cover almost every inch of the vehicle�s exterior, minus a few patches where hungry onlookers snagged a piece or two.
The TT�s exterior designer Dany Garand used the display to highlight the third-gen car�s aesthetic philosophy, which goes well beyond making a �sweet� ride.
�The first-generation TT was a lot of circles and spheres with a lot of geometric intersection,� explains Garand. �The second-generation was also very [circle and sphere-oriented], but they were blending into each other, they were not so clearly intersecting.�
�We chose with this new generation we will go with a lot more tension instead [of circles]. We broke from the first-generation TT by having more straight lines intersecting more clearly.�

One of the highlights of the new Audi TT is the sleek and focused dashboard, which Garand says was designed to keep primary information accessible in a stylish way.
�We tried to eliminate the distraction left and right to the driver, that means all the information [is] combining now in the field of vision,� he explains. �That means navigation information, car information, everything is very close.�
As for the sports car �surprise,� Garand says it�s a simple combination of guilty pleasures: sweet-tasting indulgence and four-wheeled joy.
�Chocolate is world-wide appreciated, I think it�s a good match for the TT.�
