The Audi TT has been a symbol of style and performance since its debut in 1999. The sleek coupe and roadster models have won many fans and awards over the years, thanks to their distinctive design, agile handling, and advanced technology. But all good things must come to an end, and the 2023 model year will mark the final curtain for the TT in the U.S. market.
To celebrate the legacy of the original Audi design icon, the brand has introduced a special edition model that pays homage to the first-generation TT Roadster. The Audi TT Roadster Final Edition is a limited-production model with unique design elements, exclusive colors, and curated equipment. Only 50 units will be available for the U.S. market, making this a rare and desirable collector’s item.
The TT Roadster Final Edition: What Makes It Special?
The TT Roadster Final Edition is based on the third-generation model that was introduced in 2016. It shares the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system. It also comes with Audi’s magnetic ride suspension system, which adapts the damping to the road conditions and the driver’s preferences.
But its exterior and interior design sets the TT Roadster Final Edition apart from the regular model. The special edition model is finished in an Audi-exclusive shade of green – Goodwood Green pearl effect, which was offered as a series production color for the first-generation TT Roadster. The green paint is complemented by a gray cloth convertible top, which can be raised and lowered in just 10 seconds at speeds of up to 31 mph.
The TT Roadster Final Edition also features the S line exterior package, which adds sporty front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and 20-inch forged wheels. However, the S line badges have been removed to enhance the model's exclusivity. The front bumper and side trim elements are finished in platinum gray matte, creating a contrast with the green body.
Inside, the TT Roadster Final Edition is adorned with Palomino Brown leather, which nods to the first generation’s iconic baseball stitch seats. The brown leather covers the seats, the door armrests, the center console, and the floor mats, which also feature Palomino Brown stitching and piping. The steering wheel and the gear selector boot are also trimmed with the same color. The cabin is further decorated with carbon fiber inlays, and the steering wheel cover and instrument cluster hood are wrapped in black leather.
