As an Audi TT RS owner myself, I am disappointed by this but, not surprised. Considering that this car has about 90% of the previously discontinued Audi Sport kit on it that retailed for 16. 5k USD, I can t say that the price increase is all that surprising. Now, if it also included the wheels and Akropovic exhaust, then the price may make more sense. But considering how painfully easy it is to make more power out of these cars with a tune or how well their handling improves with just an upgraded rear sway bar, it does seem pretty lazy on their part to offer the swan song of the TT in this way. I think customers would have preferred that 20 grand going into something that underscored its performance, not styling.

They did it with the R8 gt as well
A lazy attempt at making serious track inspired cars
No more power
No chassis upgrades
I was expecting at least 450 and some beefed up roll bars, springs, dampers and other bits and pieces
I bet you can get a normal ttrs and have it done up to look like that for no more than 10 grand

Why are we still measuring braking distance? Model S Plaid breaks in 31 meters but as we've seen that doesnt really matter because the breaks lose power after a few moments of intense braking, especially on track. So what matters in how long the brakes last

When this generation came out I was looking forward to buying one. until Audi got rid of the manual. What I love about the TT is that it reminds me of the old 911 s with its size and rear seats unusable but convenient and iconic.

Still my favorite interior of any modern car. Using the vents to integrate physical dials for climate control is just so inspired. A usability and design dream that should be replicated more.

carwow this is very similar to what they did with the Audi R8 GT special edition. It s very disappointing, just buy a Porsche that has all of the VW and Audi engineered out of it.

This is probably my favorite Audi car at the moment, only if it had the modern interior with touchscreens and the small shifter like Audis nowadays. This interior is really outdated

i would love to see a drag race between this iconic edition and the normal TTRS, just to see if there really is even a justification for the 20000 pound price increment

This has Jonny goes to Halfords written all over it. Order a regular TTRS while you can and the public will look at your car for the right reasons, not this abomination.

My favorite part is Matt asking Audi about the engine being the same. Would have loved to see the guys face like that one video of the car with the fake exhaust lol

Audi is getting rid of all their iconic designs and engines and replacing them big fat Q cars. This is what happens you design cars for politicians and not customers.

This Edition is pathetic. German car manufacturers just don't try these days because they know that the customers will buy any crap they throw on the market

I always loved the TT, it's such an under rated car, the 'Hairdresser' label was unwarranted! I remember the launch of the Original and what an impact it had!

Agree with the verdict 100%. Aside from the sick carbon fiber bit, feels a little cheesy and quite the money grab by Audi. Very similar to the Golf R333 edition

Audi just did the same thing with the R8. They seem to be begging for money without justifying the price. I recommend you buy something else with the money.

The TT is a good looking car, but you don't need the iconic. Not really good to compare with your green car though, which is an acquired taste.
