Audi will stop the production of the TT RS for the American markets from the following year. The German automaker has introduced a limited-edition Heritage Edition of the TT RS to give the sports car a befitting farewell. It will be a little costlier than the regular TT RS – $81,450 (plus $1,045) versus $73,200. Expect it to hit the dealerships anytime next year.
Audi will offer only 50 units of the 2022 TT RS Heritage Edition to customers in the U.S. They will be accessible in distinct colours picked from the original Audi Quattro. The combinations are as follows – each combo will adorn 10 units of Heritage Edition.
-
Alpine White with Ocean Blue leather and Diamond Silver stitching
-
Helios Blue metallic with Diamond Silver leather and Ocean Blue stitching
-
Stone Gray Metallic with Crimson Red leather and Jet Gray stitching
-
Tizian Red metallic with Havanna Brown leather and Jet Gray stitching
-
Malachite Green metallic with Cognac Bown leather and Black stitching
Besides distinct colour combinations, the Heritage Edition comes with 20-inch wheels with a five-spoke design, aluminium finished mirror caps, and a sport exhaust with black, oval tips. We find the steering wheel and gearshift sporting Alcantara and the RS logo on the floor mats in the interior.
A unique feature is the Heritage Edition emblem on the run-down area of the rear quarter windows on the passenger side. The symbol comprises the firing sequence of the five-cylinder mill “1-2-4-5-3” and a Quattro letting.
The TT and TTS models will be accessible to customers next year. However, reports suggest that they will be gone soon. Some experts say the TT nameplate will completely vanish by the end of this generation. Others believe Audi will use the TT badge for an electric utility vehicle it plans to build.
Coming back to the 2022 Audi TT RS Heritage Edition, it will be carrying a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder churning out 394 horsepower (294 kilowatts) and 354 pound-feet (480 Newton-meters) of torque. The engine sends power to all the wheels via a seven-speed automatic gearbox. This huge thrust enables to hit 60 miles per hour (96 kilometres per hour) in 3.6 seconds.
