Audi’s model line-up is becoming increasingly unimaginative. They’ve killed the R8, TTRS, they are most likely on their last RS3 with a I5. So, unless you want to spend north of 100k, you will soon be stuck with 2,5 ton fridges on wheels that are the EV SUVs. The once all-important Quattro sports spirit has left the building I’m affraid.

My absolute fav car of all time, my Mk1 is in the shop I can't wait to have it and drive it. One of the best ever looking cars. Really only downside to this car in my opinion was the haldex system.

Regardless of its ending in production I will never stop loving all the generations of TTs, a true Icon. It deserved so much more. Great video guys♥🔥

Years later, I purchased a 2013 TT-RS in Suzuka Grey Pearlcoat. 365 HP made it the most powerful car I had ever owned. Loved it. The new TTs... I couldn't swallow the price increase, so it was the end of the road for me. But I regret it. It's a beautiful car, and... THE BEST LOOKING INTERIOR OF ANY AUDI OR PORSCHE!!!

I echo your thoughts about the diff; I was surprised by how 'adaptable' the new RS3 is in the corners, whereas the TT is calculated, predictable. Still, it's an awesome car to drive, albeit not the most fun or the best when it comes to drive involvement/engagement.

I remember driving one of these a few years ago. So much fun!

I've owned five TT's. The mk1 was special at the time I had it, but really crap to drive. The mk2, I had a TTS and TTRS, both good, but not great. The mk3 was almost there, I again had a TTS and then got the TTRS in 2019. I sold that last year. Mine was in Riviera Blue, it looked stunning. Well built, reliable, fast, good looking and practical if you don't need rear seats - the boot space is very decent if you fold the rear 'seats' down. Only gripes were crap brakes and ageing tech. I now have a 718 Cayman GTS and got a new RS4 for my daily. I would have gone for a mk4 TT if they'd dropped the new RS3 tech and wotnot into it. Audi, you screwed up dropping the TT, you really have. The TTS and TTRS were the best cars you sold, R8 accepted.

So equipment wise, how does it differ from the Vorsprung?

Good review. I order one tomorrow.

Got a 12/2017 model (pre-face lift and pre-OPF filter) it's a great looking and sounding car.

The TT Mk1 (1999-2006) remains one of the very best looking cars ever, and the later editions blew it by restyling the body, while improving the mechanics. The owners of MK1 for the most part continue to love their cars and drive them, despite that fact that many of the essential parts are now unavailable. A search for used parts often shows the elusive used part available in Europe only to be prohibitively expensive to ship to the states. And most irritating of all, lots of little plastic connectors break after 20+ years forcing tough decisions.

Forged internals, in this case here, equals Forged Crankshaft, Forged Connecting Rods, Forged Pistons. Ask, why? BECAUSE with a powerful k04 in the tank they cut the compression ratio to 9.0.

What would be the difference in buying a used TTRS and just get some parts off ebay. I guarantee it would cost less, while being a better car and even more exclusive.

The final edition should be in an exclusive colour, ,like Blue Rinse 😁

They should have put the RS3 drive train in this limited edition TT. It just leaves a bit to be desired for this car, especially when it's the last of it's kind.

let me get this straight 30k more for a ridiculous Wing thats all? Better off going for regular TT RS

4:07. Presumably they are actually going to make 101 of them, judging by the numbering on the gearknob? 🤔

That’s a Great 😊 idea yo…putting the RS3 Diff in the TT 🤔

Just ordered a TTS, RS was just a stretch too far for me. Shame as that legendary 5-pot engine was my dream. BUT I can survive with a miserly 320BHP and can’t wait.

The original TT design was minimalist industrial design. This is not, for me it's the wrong design choice for the last edition. That spoiler is horrendous, the exterior design is busy and messy. The interior looks just right to its origin minimalist design.

Had to end one day, great for the value of the Mk2 3.2, TTS and TTRS. IMO the mk2 is the better looking design and will age well. Future classics.

Totally disagree. I think in the long run the Mk1’s will be more classic and have the potential to be collectible. Many because of the design and how much it stood out and how well it’s aged. The Mk2 design hasn’t aged that well especially the cheap looking tail lights. Mk2 TTRS will be collectible one day because of the motor.

@Engineeringexplained did a video on the new Golf R. It said the Haldex isn't the same as a differential with a max 50% bias, its more complicated and interesting than that.

Well the new Golf R doesn't have a Haldex system, it has a Borg-Warner system. The TT RS did not get that Borg-Warner system.

@@vomErsten yes, the golf r has a really cool system, but if you watch the engineering explained video he refers to the Haldex system and what engineers have told him about it. They say the max 50% rear torque transfer is kind of misleading. You can watch it yourself if you like.

@@salzar4431 It's not misleading when he's talking about the TT RS, which still has the Haldex and is physically not capable of putting more than 50% to the rear...unless the front wheels are spinning. Whatever is said about the new Golf R is not transferable to the TT RS.

@@vomErsten with an open differential on the front axle only One front wheel has to completely loose traction for ALL the torque to go to the rear, just like on a classic 4WD pickup truck with no centre differential. I didn’t say it was said about the Golf R, I said the Haldex system was explained really well in the Engineering Explained video about the Golf R. He was contrasting the Haldex system with the system used in the new Golf R.

2013 tt was so good and legendary...

Have had three TT's in the past all Mk1's. Great cars. But if I was in the market for one and it's a big but, I think I would go for a Cayman S

Cayman are great cars but very limited on what you can carry in it compared to a TT. A lot less practical unless you have a second car. I fit a 55” TV in the back of my TT.

Switzerland has just announced that due to the energy crisis people will not be able to use their electric cars in oder to conserve power and keep the lights on so a change may be on the cards if other countries have to follow suit. Heating and cooking is obviously more important.

If you're in South Africa then you know this (especially in this Nardo Grey color) as Thanos. Traffic light murderer, a nightmare for every drag racer. True legend.
