Used car buying guide: Audi TT
It’s quick, sleek and classy, but is the TT a true sports car?
Is the Audi TT a true sports car? It’s an interesting question, one apt for investigation and debate by intelligent, astute, critical observers. Unfortunately, none were available, but let’s dive into the topic anyway and unravel the Mk1 TT.
Launched in 1998, the TT coupé and subsequent roadster (of 1999) certainly looked like sports cars at the time – and they still do now. What you have is a sleek, athletic, arguably timeless exterior that’s matched by a classy, sporty interior.
Venture beneath the surface and it’s a different story, because the TT actually shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Mk4 Volkswagen Golf, and, as a result of that, it was only ever offered as a front or all-wheel-drive model. That’s not your typical sports car formula, but it does come with its advantages.

Audi TT RS Iconic Edition 2022 first drive
We return, then, to one last number: £26,775. That’s the price difference between a normal TT RS and this. What price exclusivity, eh?
Frankly, it’s a ridiculous sum of money for a TT, even one as rare as this, and if I’d bought one, I’d feel like I’d had my leg taken up. But then this is the last of the line, a dying breed of car with a brilliantly wonderful engine. What price posterity, eh?

RIP TT: Audi announces a 25th anniversary special to mark the end of the TT
Sad times. The ‘Final Edition’ will help Audi say goodbye to its iconic little coupe
Audi has dropped a new high-spec, limited edition TT. But there's bad news, because this is not just to celebrate 25 years since the distinctive Mk1 TT hit the UK car market, it's called the TT Final Edition and it's here to mark the end of production of the iconic sports car. Sob.
The TT Final Edition will start at a sneeze under £42,000 and will be beset with a host of exterior black accents, including Audi rings and badging, black door mirrors, black tailpipes and a black rear spoiler. Available as a coupe or roadster, the latter’s roll bars and wind diffusers will - you’ve guessed it - also be black. The TTS Final Edition - where pricing tops out at £56,435 - will have Audi Sport gloss black alloys, natch. External paintwork choices can be red, white and grey as standard.
In the cabin, Audi has upped the comfort and tech levels. For a start, the upholstery’s fancier. There are special accents for the Final Edition and a whole lot of stuff is clad in leather - armrests, door pull handles…etc. We haven’t the heart to ask if it’s vegan-friendly…don’t want to rain on the TT's parade, right?
The MMI Navigation Plus with Audi Connect infotainment comes with a three-year subscription and enables data services in the car. The TTS also gets a ‘Comfort & Sound’ package that says ‘hello’ to a Bang & Olufsen sound system, keyless entry and park assist.

Farewell! Audi TT Final Edition Signals End of the Line
After 25 years, the end of the road is fast approaching for the Audi TT, with the Ingolstadt-based automaker having revealed the fittingly named Final Edition…
The Audi TT nameplate has been around for 25 years, but its time is fast coming to an end. Yes, the German company has confirmed production of this model is drawing to a close, while also revealing the TT Final Edition.
The badge was introduced to the world at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show in the form of the Audi TT concept. Around 3 years later, the production version of the Mk1 model (codenamed Type 8N) was unveiled, marking the start of a run that would last a quarter of a century.
In 2006, the 2nd-generation model (Type 8J) hit the market, before the current Mk3 TT (Type FV/8S) made its debut in 2014. All 3 generations of the 2-door model – which is offered in coupé and roadster guises – were available in South Africa.
The current local range comprises a trio of derivatives (the TT S coupé, TT RS coupé and TT RS roadster), with prices running from R894 100 to R1 267 100. As a reminder, the TT S employs a turbocharged 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine sending 228 kW and 380 Nm to all 4 wheels through a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The RS, meanwhile, uses Audi’s turbocharged 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder petrol mill, which delivers 294 kW and 480 Nm to all 4 corners via a 7-speed dual-clutch cog-swapper.
In 2022, 106 units of the TT were registered in South Africa, with November proving the strongest month of the year (with 14 sales). January 2023 saw a further 11 units added to the TT’s local tally.

Audi Marks 25 Years of the TT With Final Edition
In its 25th and final year on sale, Audi is sending the TT off in style with a limited-edition Final Edition car in Europe.
When you think about it, 25 years is a pretty long time for a car to be on sale. Sure, icons like the Ford Mustang or the Honda Civic have been going for much longer, but it’s an impressive milestone for most models to reach. Now, after reaching its silver anniversary, Audi is preparing to kill off the TT sports car after one Final Edition.
The Audi TT was first unveiled as a design concept at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was then refined, before finally going on sale for the first time in 1998. Over the years, it spawned three generations of varying levels of success.
But, after launching the MK3 TT back in 2014, Audi has announced that the reign of its small sports car is over. The Audi TT will die at the end of 2023. But it won’t be going quietly into that good night, as the German automaker will be sending it off with one Final Edition.

UPDATE: Audi South Africa has confirmed to Cars.co.za the Final Edition is specific to the United Kingdom, saying “in South Africa, we’ve chosen to keep the TT offering to the most exciting versions, the S and RS models. With the RS offering a very high level of specification, exceptional performance and excellent value, it’s understood why the RS model is the preferred model in the range. For this reason, there are no plans to introduce a run-out edition of the TT. The final year of sales for this model will be 2024, with the end of production being in October this year [2023]”.Farewell! Audi TT Final Edition Signals End of the Line

Audi TT Coupe review
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“This remains a car that’s easy-going to drive and to own while still being sharp, especially in terms of styling”
Over 25 years, the TT’s ethos hasn’t changed: this remains a car that’s easy-going to drive and to own while still being sharp, especially in terms of styling. Consider one of Audi’s chief local rivals down the road in Munich is making any number of egregious design missteps, and this clean, taut little coupe makes sense.
Where it lags is when you consider its proper rivals. The TT won’t satisfy in the same way a Porsche Cayman or Alpine A110 can, but as an everyday package it’s more easily justified.
