Audi TT Roadster Final Edition marks end of brand’s design icon

MANILA: Audi has unveiled the 2023 TT Roadster Final Edition, which represents the legacy of the brand’s original design icon.

The TT Roadster Final Edition is finished in an Audi-exclusive shade of green called Goodwood Green pearl effect. It features the S line exterior with platinum gray matte bumper and side trim elements.

Inside, this limited-edition car is finished in Palomino Brown leather, which is a modern take on the baseball stitch seats from the original TT.

The sport seats include built-in seatbelt microphones for improved voice recognition. It also comes with neck-level heating to keep the occupant warm on chilly days with the top down.

Other exclusive equipment include the Audi-exclusive floor mats, Audi magnetic ride, extended leather package in seat color, gray convertible top, 20x9-inch 10-Y-spoke design forged wheels, and carbon fiber inlays.

Powering the TT Roadster is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 228 horsepower and 349 Newton-meters of torque. It is paired to a seven-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission. The car can accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.5 seconds.

The TT model line served as the German luxury carmaker’s technology pioneer throughout the years as it introduced numerous remarkable design and technological firsts, such as the electronically deployable rear spoiler, the Audi virtual cockpit, and the first Audi with available OLED tail lights.

After the 2023 model, the TT will go out of production, ending an era in the iconic Audi design.

The Audi TT Roadster Final Edition is now available in the United States (US) for $67,800 (approximately P3.8 million). Only 50 units of this special-edition model will be sold in the US market.
