Twenty-three years ago, at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, German manufacturer Audi was showcasing the TT concept, a car that would eventually grow into becoming the brand’s first true true-door sports car, the TT.
Earlier in July, Audi presented the facelift for the third-generation TT. As the year draws to an end, the carmaker decided to make the new car available for order, complete with it a special version meant to be a nod to the original.
The regular new TT is powered only by gasoline engines, the first being fitted in the entry level 40 TFSI model (197 hp) and the second in the 45 TFSI (245 hp). It is this more powerful version that forms the basis for the special edition TT.
Called TT 20 Years, the car comes with several unique features that make it stand out from the normal variant, but also greatly increases the price asked for it by Audi.
The normal TT starts at 35,900 EUR for the coupe and at 38,300 EUR for the roadster in Germany, but the amenities fitted onto the 20 Years version brings the price way up to 51,740 EUR.
Is the difference worth it? You be the judge.
The anniversary edition will be offered for both coupe and roadster variants and will come in one of two shades of gray. The car wears 19-inch aluminum wheels in gloss metal gray and comes with unique exhaust tailpipes, Matrix OLED rear lights and matte Audi rings above the side sills.
At the interior, the seats, door panels and console of the center tunnel are wrapped in brown Nappa leather. A badge with a unique serial number and TT 20 years badges are featured on the steering wheel and gear lever knob.
Sales for all versions of the Audi TT have begun on Tuesday. For the special edition, customers should hurry, as only 999 units will be built.
