Audi TT RS Coupe Iconic Edition is the fattest (and most expensive) TT ever

Iconic Edition

A party should be celebrated, and at Audi they do it with a lick of Nardo gray paint. How could it be otherwise. In honor of the TT’s 25th anniversary, the Germans are marketing one hundred special TT RS Iconic Edition versions, all painted in the familiar gray Audi color. Here and there you will come across some black details, such as on the wheels and the end tips of the exhausts. The spoiler is also finished in high-gloss black.

Europe

To brighten up the party, the interior includes some yellow details, such as on the steering wheel. Only Europeans are invited to the TT party, as it will only be marketed on our continent. Exactly how many are reserved for the Dutch market is not known. Brexit does not throw a spanner in the works for the British, who are also welcome to the birthday. In fact, Audi is building eleven right-hand drive examples.

TT RS specifications

The specifications of the Audi TT RS Iconic Edition are the same as those of the regular TT RS. In short: up front lies the delicious turbocharged five-cylinder, good for 400 hp and 480 Nm of torque. The TT RS does the 0-100 sprint in 3.7 seconds and does not stop accelerating until 280 km/h. An Aerokit is standard equipment, so that the TT is extra stable on the road at high speed as well as cornering nicely.

25 years of Audi TT

By and large, the current TT is still very similar to the first generation, which entered the market in 1998. Yet, of course, much has changed in that time. In the TT that hit the market 25 years ago was a 180-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder; now, thanks to a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, you drive out of the showroom with at least 200 hp. Meanwhile, the TT lineup consists of three variants: the TT, TTS and TT RS. All versions are available as Coupe and Roadster. You can drive a TT Coupe from 62,965 euros and the TT RS Coupe comes from 103,549 euros. For an Ionic Edition, you have to fork out a minimum of 113,000 euros.
