After a couple of limited and special edition announcements, Audi has officially commenced the production of its popular TT sports car. The last unit rolls out from Audi’s Györ manufacturing plant in Hungary.
After 26 years of production spanning across 3 generations, the TT goes out of sale. The Audi TT was first showcased at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show and it went into production in 1998. It went on sale as a coupe with the roadster joining later in 1999. Audi reveals that between February 18, 1998, and November 10, 2023, Audi managed to produce 6,62,762 vehicles.
To bid a final goodbye, Audi parked the last-produced TT, which happens to be a coupe finished in a grey metallic colour, alongside the previous two generations of TT coupes and roadsters. The initial two generations of the TT offered the 1.8L TSI and 3.2L VR6 petrol engines while a few markets also offered a range of other petrol and diesel engine options with the 2nd-gen TT.
The 3rd-gen TT offered the 2.5L 5-cylinder petrol engine, which already does duty on the RS3 and RSQ3 models. In the last configuration, the engine offered 400PS and 480Nm of torque in the RS configuration and came mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive.
While Audi didn’t launch a final edition bidding goodbye to the popular affordable sports, other markets received a few special limited editions. The most recent one was the TT Roadster final edition, which was US-exclusive and limited to just 50 units. The highlight of the limited-run TT Roadster Final Edition is its exclusive Goodwood Green pearl paint, which pays homage to the first-gen TT.
The first-gen TT offered the same green exterior paint as an option. Other exterior highlights of the TT Roadster Final Edition include Platinum Gray matte exterior bumper trim, side trim elements and a grey convertible soft-top roof. On the inside, the TT Roadster Final Edition comes finished in Palomino Brown leather, which nods to the first generation’s iconic baseball stitch leather. Since it comes with the extended leather pack as standard, interior touchpoints like door armrests and centre console also come draped in the same leather finish.
