Mercedes-Benz is planning a direct rival for the Audi TT, according to reports out of Europe.
Unnamed sources have reportedly confirmed to the UK’s Autocar that the model will effectively replace the three-door A-Class hatch, but take the form of a coupe to target TT buyers.
A pair of new digital renderings from independent artist Theophilus Chin (above and below) offers just one view of how the rumourd A-Class Coupe could be styled, taking inspiration from the big S-Class Coupe and the new AMG GT hero.
Merc's TT rival would sit on a new version of the MFA platform - shared with the Nissan-Renault Alliance - along with other small or light models aimed at A3 and BMW 2 Series customers.
The current MFA underpins A- and B-Class models from Mercedes among others, and will soon be found beneath the Infiniti Q30 and QX30.
Power in the range-topping model would reportedly come from an AMG-tuned 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing up to 298kW.
