Audi TT bids farewell to US market with limited ‘Heritage Edition’

Audi will no longer be offering the TT RS in the US market after the automotive brand releases the nameplate’s 2022 year model. Nevertheless, the German carmaker looks to give the iconic high-performance coupe a fond farewell by launching limited Heritage Edition TT RS models that combine the power of the emotive Audi five-cylinder engine heritage along with the storied paint colors that once adorned the Audi Ur-quattro.

Only 50 Heritage Edition Audi TT RS models will be made which makes the nameplate’s swan song in the US market a highly collectible piece. These vehicles feature five different color combinations, listed below in the five-cylinder firing order (1-2-4-5-3), and are limited to only 10 units of each.

1. Alpine White with Ocean Blue leather and Diamond Silver stitch.
2. Helios Blue metallic Diamond Silver leather and Ocean Blue stitch.
4. Stone Gray metallic with Crimson Red leather and Jet Gray stitch.
5. Tizian Red metallic with Havanna Brown leather and Jet Gray stitch.
3. Malachite Green metallic with Cognac Brown leather and Black stitch.

Inside, the limited-edition TT RS models feature distinctive “Heritage Edition” etching followed by the firing order of the five-cylinder engine, underlined by a “quattro” script in the rear quarter glass on the right side of each car.

In addition, TT RS Heritage Edition presents an exclusive list of standard equipment including 20-inch five-arm cutter design wheels in bi-color anthracite finish, Audi exclusive etching in rear quarter glass, a 174 mph top speed limiter, Alcantara covered steering wheel with 12 o’clock marker in leather color, Alcantara covered shift lever, Alu-optic exterior elements including mirror housings, OLED taillights, RS logo floor mats with contrast stitching, Sport exhaust with black tips, and an Electric spoiler/rear wing delete.

Audi said that the TT RS Heritage Edition and the 2022 Audi TT RS model are expected to go on sale in the US toward the beginning of 2022. The former will be priced at US$81,450 while the latter at US$73,200.
