Audi Australia is waving goodbye to its iconic TT sports car after 25 years of production with a special limited-edition model named, aptly, the Final Edition.
Based on the Audi TT 45 TFSI quattro but with some additional styling and equipment, the Final Edition is powered by the 2-litre TFSI engine producing 180kW and 370Nm. That power is sent through a seven-speed S tronic transmission and goes to all four wheels through quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The sprint to 100km/h is done in 5.1 seconds and top speed is 250km/h top speed.
Available in four colours – Turbo blue, Glacier white metallic, Chronos grey metallic and Tango red metallic – the Final Edition comes with the S line Competition Plus exterior package and 19-inch Audi Sport wheels in a five-arm polygon design, finished in gloss anthracite black. That exterior package includes a fixed rear wing in gloss black, as well as 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. Customers can tailor the car’s appearance a bit more with the addition of 20-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-Y-spoke design.
Inside the TT Final Edition has a flat-bottomed steering wheel finished in an Alcantara/leather, complete with 12 o’clock marker, and coloured interior elements in Slate grey or Turbo blue.
The electric S sport front seats are in Nappa leather with contrast stitching and S embossing. Customers can choose between black with blue stitching or black with red stitching (the latter only available with slate grey interiors), while the leather package extends to the armrests, door handles and centre console. There’s ambient lighting and inlays in brushed aluminium.
Audi’s virtual cockpit plus complete with sport display sits in front of the driver and Audi MMI navigation has been integrated into the virtual cockpit. Audi smartphone interface and Audi phone box light with wireless charging are standard, as is Audi music interface, eight-speaker sound system and DAB+ Digital Radio.
A comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance systems includes Audi attention assist, Audi side assist and Hold assist. 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 TT Final Edition is priced at $88,479.
