Audi Australia will mark the end of production of its iconic TT sportscar with a special limited edition model.
The TT was launched in 1998 and arrived here the following year, initially in coupe form and shortly afterwards as a convertible.
Almost all loved its bold shape that combines modern design with 1930’s roadster images.
That design proved to be timeless making it instantly recognisable throughout its 25-year lifetime.
The aptly named TT Final Edition is based on the Audi TT 45 TFSI quattro but with its own distinctive styling as well as significant additional equipment over and above the standard model.
Priced at $88,479 plus on-road costs the Final Edition comes with more than $14,000 worth of added equipment for only $5900 more than the 45 TFSI quattro.
TT Final Edition is available in four colours: Turbo blue, Glacier white metallic, Chronos grey metallic and Tango red metallic.
The wide single frame grille, large air intakes and LED headlights give the Final Edition a purposeful, aggressive look.
This is further enhanced with the addition of an S line Competition Plus exterior package and unique, 19-inch Audi Sport wheels in a five-arm polygon design, finished in gloss anthracite black.
The exterior package includes a fixed rear wing in gloss black, as well as black exterior styling package which includes the Audi rings on the front and rear, the auto-folding electric wing mirrors and the exhaust tips, rear diffuser and side trim in black.
On the side sills, Audi rings decals are a nod to the brand’s motorsport past.
The purposeful stance, red brake callipers and muscular competition bodykit perfectly compliment the TT’s design.
Customers can also opt to further tailor the car’s appearance with the addition of 20-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-Y-spoke design finished in gloss black.
The 2.0-litre TFSI powerplant produces 180kW of power and 370Nm of torque between 1600 and 4300 rpm to see off the sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds on the way to its governed 250km/h top speed.
The engine is mated to a seven-speed S tronic transmission with power going down to all four wheels through quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
Inside the TT Final Edition pays homage to the original TT design ethos with its minimalist layout yet incorporates the latest automotive technology as well as a wealth of additional comfort features.
The electric S sport front seats are finished in fine nappa leather with contrasting stitching and S embossing and feature electric lumbar and side bolsters.
State-of-the-art technology has been seamlessly integrated into the cabin, with Audi’s virtual cockpit plus complete with sport display occupying the central position in front of the driver.
Audi MMI navigation has also been integrated into the virtual cockpit allowing the driver to take in all important information at a glance.
Audi smartphone interface and Audi phone box light with wireless charging are standard inclusions along with Audi music interface, eight-speaker sound system and DAB+ digital radio.
A comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance systems include Audi attention assist, Audi side assist and Hold assist for starts on steep hills.
The TT Final Edition also includes Audi parking system plus front and rear, with rear view camera and visual display as well as tyre pressure loss indicator.
The Audi TT Final Edition is available in strictly limited numbers at Audi dealerships now.
