In 1998, Audi introduced a 2-door sports car, which through three generations became one of Audi’s best-selling models, the Audi TT. In more than two decades of production, 662,762 copies of this car left the assembly line. Now it’s time to finally say goodbye to this popular two-seater. At least in the version we currently know.
Last month, Audi presented the last edition of the TT model, the Audi TT Tourist Trophy. The car is intended for the Spanish market, and only 25 examples will be produced. It is finished in Nogaro blue, but can also be obtained in Tango red and Glacier white. The windows are tinted, and it is equipped with the S Line Competition package. It sits on a set of black 20-inch Audi Sport 10-spoke “Y” wheels, behind which hide red brake calipers.
Tourist Trophy is powered by a 2.0L turbo gasoline engine with 245 hp (180 kW), paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
The retirement of the TT began with the gradual withdrawal of the five-cylinder engine, which is still available in the RS3 and RS Q3 models. At one time, the TT was offered with an even bigger engine, as the first and second generations offered the option of a VR6 engine.
However, some rumors say that the TT model could still return in the future, but as a fully electric car.
