Audi has introduced the world to an ultra rare and iconic Audi TT RS Coupé. Audi plans to manufacture a handful i.e. only 100 such models that would be exclusively sold in Europe. Audi, in their recent events showed their new Audi R8 V10 GT RWD, and along with that we also saw the new Audi TT RS Coupé Iconic Edition.
This is one of the most exclusive editions of the popular Audi TT RS Coupe. The sad part for the International audience is that it will be launched exclusively for the European continent. The exclusivity can be understood by the shear number of vehicles to be produced under this model, which is only 100 units. The occasion at which the special edition model is being launched is the celebration of the success and the 25th year anniversary of the Audi TT Coupé. The Audi TT Coupé was first shown to the world as a concept car in 1998. The special edition model puts into picture the ‘less is more’ philosophy, brought forth by Audi when the car was revealed.
Color and Design
The special edition is available in the classy Nardo Grey exterior colour. It features a motorsport-inspired aerokit, which includes front apron side flics, a front splitter, and blades on the side front air intakes.
When you look from behind, you will find a fixed carbon rear wing, with its side winglets offering a sporty finish along with performance and efficiency.
Audi has styled the front perfectly by giving the car a stylish glossy black grille that comes in a matte black single-frame. The whole design is executed in such a way that it lays emphasis on the quattro lettering which has a premium matte titanium look. The RS model also contains an inlay in the side skirt in glossy black. Audi has added an edition-specific 20-inch glossy black alloys which have a 7-spoke design and matching black brake callipers.
Interior Comfort
To give the passengers a sporty and classy look, the interior of the car features a dark colour scheme, Nappa and Alcantara panels, RS embroidery, contrast stitching and the gear selector lever has a numbered badge from 1 to 100. The cabin is lit with an ambient lighting setup and the Bang & Olufsen Sound System with 3D sound are responsible for the audio department.
The TT RS Coupé iconic edition is powered under the hood by the Audi Sport’s highly trusted 2.5-litre 5-cylinder TFSI engine making 394 bhp and maximum torque of 480 Nm. This is the same motor that won the ‘International Engine of the Year Award’, nine consecutive times since 2010. The engine is coupled with a 7-speed S tronic gearbox that works as a permanent all-wheel drive system. The car max out its speed at 280 kmph and can accelerate itself from 0-100 kmph sprint in 3.7 seconds.
Customers of this model can expect it’s Delivery to begin from the first quarter of 2023 and it’d be sensible to think you’ll need to be a special Audi customer to be able to place an order on one.
