Audi TT RS Iconic Edition - The last ever TT BUT why kill such a great car ?!

The Audi TT RS Iconic Edition is the last ever Audi TT. After 25 years Audi are killing off the Audi TT. A car very close to my hear having owned a Mk1 and a Mk2. My big regret is never owning a Mk3 and in particular a TT RS.
In this video I take a look back at the Audi TT story and put the TT RS Iconic Edition through it's paces. The final hurrah for the TT.

[@johnnyballbag8916]

Owned my Mk3 TTRS for 5 years now. 3 years longer than any of the Porsche, AMG or Aston I had previously. It fits so many roles that I can’t find any 1 car to replace it.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@NickthaGeek]

Only thing I genuinely hate about the tt rs is the fact the rear seat does not match the front. Its bugged me since I had a mk3 tts back in 2016. They throw the standard rear bench in all of them. Completely different stitching to the front!😂 Yet NO ONE ever talks about it.

[@Gregorysmall-hc2di]

I owned the original audi tt 225 covert just like you , Just recently bought a MK3 , For the money cant beat it , Lovely looking , Not a bad car not better than a boxster.

[@peterhelmetag2737]

Had one of the very first TT Mark I coupes for twenty years and 250,000 miles. I loved that car but sadly its time had come to replace it. Struggled with getting a Cayman, but the lack of cargo space and need for a winter driver turned me back to another TT. This time I got a 2013 TTRS. ( The other years were all automatics and I just couldn’t live with that.). So the TTRS I have is a screamer. I love it also. It’s fast and cool and expensive to repair, but I’m a happy guy with it. Still, the old TT Mark I was something very special in my life. Peter

[@PetrolPed]

Love this 👌

[@CRA677]

I have a TTRS, TTS (both MK3's), and a 718 Cayman. In total I've had 4 TT's. You are correct in your assumption that the Porsche is an overall better driving experience. By most accounts, my TTRS is far and away a better car in terms of tech, interior, HP, room, Quattro, etc. However, more often than not, I'll grab the 718's key fob.

[@phildarbyshire1496]

Would never dismiss the TTRS or its close relative RS3..both great cars and last of their generations. If you drive them you are fully aware of their capabilities. Unfortunately I think they get stereotyped with the demographic who drive them especially as they get passed down the food chain . Personally prefer the chassis dynamics of the 4.0GTS that I now drive at weekend. Both fabulous engines though and to be celebrated as long as possible

[@CRA677]

@@phildarbyshire1496 I believe that Cayman drivers fall to the same stereotype; "Poor-man's 911". Now, having said that, the moniker is usually awarded by people who neither own a 911, nor a Cayman.

[@phildarbyshire1496]

@@CRA677 Yes that was always the perception not helped by Clarkson vs Hammond on top gear. Having driven both 992 and 718 and fortunately able to afford either made my choice based based entirely on driving dynamics. Last gen M2 comp was only other consideration..ok maybe Arial Atom as only weekend toy.

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

[@CRA677]

@@phildarbyshire1496 Ah yes! I forgot that Top Gear really pushed the perception. Did they coin the TT's label of being a "Hair dresser's car"?

[@SpeedsterIG]

Got me a TT RS in late 2017, still no OPF but the better front brakes. I still love this car and do not see me selling at at any point in the future. I do visit the italian alps once a year and this car is a blast driving the mountain passes with engagement. It will get old with me. And having a Golf R as my every day drive the RS still is in a almost new condition, only 27.000 kms on the clock. Best buy I ever made in cars.

Huge fan but sadly never owned one. Loved it from the day it came out and agree the interior has always been rather cool, especially the mk1. It’s such a shame that it’s been killed off but surely never forgotten and will be one to watch as a collectors 😍

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 👍

[@coops111s]

Audi have obviously decided to kill off the ICE, I just tried to buy a new S3 I have a white one and configured one in red the only colour I liked after an hour discussing the spec and cost they they tell me red is discontinued, I gave up, I’ve also discovered you can’t get the RS3 in a hatchback, Audi just dont care, I cannot bring myself to go EV 🥲

[@eugenux]

Audi is in the business of making posh luxury cars and EVs lend themselves perfect to this category. I'm sure once the battery tech is good enough, they will try to get back to making some sort of a sports(-ish) car but, for now, the numbers probably don't add up enough to justify development and production lines and thus, they decided to kill the R8 and the tt. They don't do rallies so a homologation special a-la gr yaris cannot happen, they don't do gt3 so, a car a-la gt3(/rs) cannot and happened and their name isn't ferrari so, a 300+k coupe with audi badge will not sell(will have limited sales, to be more correct); although, coupes are making a comeback, which actually brings joy to my heart, most of the ppl would rather pay 70-80k on a ioniq 5N than on a TT. That's why I believe Audi just decided to sit tightly and wait for better EV tech and better market opportunities in order to launch future cars in the likes of tt and r8. p. s. personal opinion, the best R8 was also the first R8. V8, light-ish, 8000 rpm, gated manual, looked like something out of this planet and droved like a sports car made by Audi.

[@coops111s]

@@eugenux well that was long winded 😂 EV’s are still crap and I just think how can someone get excited over a battery with four wheels, saving the planet will kill the car enthusiast

[@jamesalexander4203]

Great content Sir. Hope you are keeping well. The invite for some Historic Trialling remains open…

[@eugenux]

​@@coops111s with the exception of the fact that they don't actually save anything, especially not the planet. The way EVs are used and produced actually contribute to a worsening pollution and damaging the envrionment but, hey, if it doesn't happen next to our door, we, as a western society, are ok with it. Also, the ones I have tried drive like shi.te, from an enthusiast pov.

[@thejamespitcherable]

​@@coops111s That's crap, would love an S3 but my budget only stretches to the Puma ST (although I currently have a Fiesta ST and would rather have one of those!) but I found out Ford is trying to kill that off too as interest rate on the regular Puma is 1.9% and it's 7.9% now on ALL STs apparently!

[@35rocker]

My daughter has just bought a MK3 TT S-Line TDi Ultra and its a cracking little car (ok, no RS like my RS3) but great all the same. I struggle to understand where the extra £30k has gone towards in the Iconic Edition when it is purely cosmetic. I could just about understand if it was 10k but 30k????? I would have expected more power, carbon buckets, trick suspension etc etc.

[@PetrolPed]

Me too 🤔

[@barrywiseman7012]

Got the original Mk1 ( no wing/ smooth boot). 180HP Quattro, 5 Spd manual in Amulet Red in 2000. Great all season car (in winter equipped with appropriate tires). Great unique exterior shape & stance and classic interior as you mention. Replaced after 7 yrs with 07 base Boxster 5Spd & following its lease end got a new 09 base Boxster at years end at a good price that had some appealing engine characteristics (2.9L/no IMS), larger wheels, 6 Spd, and now at 130000 kms, is a keeper. If I had the space at the time, that Mk 1 TT may still have been here. But as someone else commented here, I may have still reached for the Boxster for the fun drives-and maintaining any 23 yr old car especially if one isn't using it regularly can be an adventure.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@SteveBrill]

Great film again Peter. I was managing an Audi dealership when the mK1 was launched and I remember the hype around it and it was the easiest car to sell (just taking orders really). Now as I’m retired, my car of choice is a Mk 3 2.0 S line quattro with a Revo Stage 1 map. My wife always joked that cut me in half and there would be four rings running through me! 🤣👍 Have a great weekend.

Hi Pete, just sold my Mark 3RS after three happy years you’re absolutely right and everything you said and all of your viewers should consider buying one new or secondhand absolute bargain. The iconic is just an Audi rip off. You can’t use the dynamic suspension in the uk.

[@jamesfoote8916]

We had a TT roadster and it was amazing not very practical but my wife ran it until it had 60k on the clock. At 5 years old we had a problem with the 4 wheel drive and was given a large bill before the work was started so I pointed out the then sales of goods act so they agreed to do it under warranty. Right now my next door neighbour has it he also has my Jaguar which had its 12 birthday this January. I asked my wife is she would like the TT back or a new one and she said no she loves her Seat Leon. Cars have there time don’t they. We tow a caravan and I never thought I would end up with a Mazda CX60 PHEV but wow love that and ideal for us but it’s not a Jag and yes on our first weekend away I forgot my wallet so Diane had to pay. 17 years married now so something must of worked. Stay well James

[@markscars1069]

Yep, no pithy comebacks, that’s a lovely motor. Hails from a time when Audi made somewhat more classy cars. At the point you were agonising over TTs in the early noughties, I was hooning around in A8s. Lovely old motors both.

On my 2nd TT. Had a MK2 Black Edition TDI for 3 years, brilliant car, always reliable and 50+ MPG. Changed it last year for MK3 TDI Ultra, which is much better equipped and more fun to drive as not Quattro. Going to be missed by many, but there are plenty around 2nd hand which will keep us happy!!

Gotta have a go at LC. My tips Individual Mode with everything Dynamic apart from suspension which I’d put in comfort to allow a bit of squat. Traction Fully Off. just push and hold down button for 3-5 secs. Don’t worry about losing traction. It’s got plenty of it. Leave gearbox in Auto but in Sport. Left foot hard down on the brake. Right foot to the floor. Hold it for a second or two to enjoy the noise. Left foot of the brake. Hold on and enjoy 😂

Peter….I was at the launch of the original car with my friend Adam….the Audi looked a mix of the future with hints of 1930’s Bauhaus and was certainly a car that people talked about a great deal. Maybe Audi was in a very good patch as the A2 arrived around the same time. Now Audi is very safe and I can’t believe they still sell the Q5 which looks decades old.

Brilliant review Pete! As I’ve already said, such a pity saying goodbye to the gorgeous TT. Have driven one, second generation.

Had the same problem, although less damaging, on a Passat Estate 1.8T back then. Anyway, bye bye TT😢😢😢 Cheers, Tom

If there was a new TTRS Vorsprung in white in a dealer when I walked in. Maybe my heart would rule & I’d buy it. Like you I wish I’d owned one & the opportunity to do this will be gone soon. I dare say I should take my time to savour & love what will likely be the last RS4 to.

[@jimcabezola3051]

What a lovely car! I'd totally forgotten about Audi finding it necessary to add a ducktail spoiler to the 1st-gen TT. That was an example of aerodynamics as a safety first! I've always preferred the shape of the coupé; the sweep of the roof structure was part of the theatre of the design. Sad to see these leave the new car market. That'll mean the existing ones will be the ones to treasure and cherish. It was also nice to see that ice all over the top of your example. A pleasant reminder of days of owning a car in cold climes. Aloha!

[@jack_da_niels]

I had an 8S from 2016-2020 with a 1.8 petrol engine and I really liked the car. The smaller engine, which was only available until I think 2020 or so, was perfect for usage as a daily. Driving with this through the Swiss Alps or to the beach in Netherland - performance ok because of it's weight compared to bigger cars and the space in the back for all the luggage...perfect for two person. Because of its size the handling through the curvy mountain roads was perfect. I had it as a manual and also with the smaller engine it provided a lot of fun on those roads - the only downside was that the 2 liter engines had a little bit more sound. The interior was and still is from my point of view the best ever. Design and functionality combined perfectly. How the AC is integrated and the digital screen only behind the wheel without any other second screen "misplaced" somewhere else. Only disappointment were the prices for each and every little extra.

I started looking at Cayman's but the 2 seat issue kept me away, I then thought maybe an M2 but in the end got an M3. It's a sad day yet again, 2 Audi icons gone & I too have said why not electrify it as the mk4 version. I did hear that there is a new 2 seater etron coming which will be badged ettron as a nod to the TT but not sure if that is true. Nice send of review though 👍🏻

Was not a fan of the Mark 1, but the later TT models grew on me. Sadly it is one of the cars that I considered a couple of times over the years but it lost out to something else both times. Neither car that I ended up buying was a direct competitor, but they worked for me at the time, and by the time I buy my next car the TT will be history.

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Sad to say goodbye to the TT, although the price for this final edition crazy. When this was introduced I think Audi was brave with the design although not welcomed by the majority. As an Audi man over many years never purchased one, as it did not meet my requirements at the time, but my dealer was generous in loaning me this model on numerous occasions and I did like them. Not wishing to bring politics into the channel, but I do find our headlong rush towards Net Zero is the main reason so many desirable cars are disappearing so soon. The irony is that governments now seem to be waivering and realising the real price to be paid now and going forward. Today we are sacrificing our steel making industry, Port Talbot😥😥😥

Absolutely adore/d the TT . Stunning looks that simply made the competition squirm with jealousy. Same gped for the R8 .....one thing is for sure though , nobody ,and I mean nobody ,will be making videos like yours celebtating electric cars 25 yrs down the line 🤔 Thank you for this.

[@PetrolPed]

Couldn't agree more!

[@alasdairwilson4806]

Excellent vid and a fitting send off for the TT.Only ever drove one once but I did like it.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks! 👍

[@jezpink4391]

My biggest regret after 3 years or ownership, was part exchanging my 2018 TTRS sans particulate filter and big on that fabulous exhaust sound. It was easy to give it plenty of welly but soon risked exceeding the speed limit. I like the TT so much I now have an entry level SLine which is still a nice car. Pete - as you are a rag top man, why not review the BMW Z4 G29 M40i?

[@PetrolPed]

I should really shouldn’t it. Never even driven one 😬

[@britishminiclub]

A relative of ours had the MK3 RS TT limited edition. What a machine it is

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@murrieteacher]

NOw that is a car I would find hard to give back. That 5 cylinder engine has a great sound. Thanks Peter.

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 👍

[@bst857]

4:23 it was the TT that had the 5 cylinder engine first, and it was a manual transmission too, only later was the transmission changed to DCT, and at that time the A3 was also given the engine in the RS3, meaning the TT RS Mk2 is the only car you can get the 5 cylinder in manual transmission.

[@H1WEX]

I had a manuel 3.2 Mk2 Quattro, it was very quick point-to-point.

[@PetrolPed]

Oh that was the one 👌👍

[@fale892]

Ive always admired the TTRS

[@peterhardwick4939]

A car I have always wanted but never quite got there. What a machine !!!

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 👍

[@glennflanagan2829]

It’s the one car I missed out on buying and I agree Audi has got rid of the 2 nicest cars in their line up.

[@rogerleadbeater4339]

Owned 2. One diesel version which was great for fuel efficiency but then changed to TTS. What a car it was best car I’ve owned sad to let it go.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@garrymatthews4430]

Have to say never really liked the TT but this does tick a lot more boxes. Great one and congrats on the 200K make. well deserved

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Chap 🙏🏻

[@djh29971]

I've had a '20 TTS from new and it has been a brilliant, plus being practical and economical too it is a great all rounder. The 30 Profile PZero's don't last long though! However the run out models were around £57K and that was simply too much. As I specced it without the fixed wing, I could be tempted to buy a used TTRS if I ever found one without it but I've only ever seen one in my life. A P300 F-Type keeps calling me, but is it any better than what I already have?

[@derekgb3780]

I can recall when they were launched. They seemed like a beautiful concept car that had been brought to life. They stood out on the motorway. They were in a niche of their own. Audi seemed a bit braver then and launched cars like the A2 which was ahead of its time and not really appreciated at the time. I used to joke about grey cars - but have just ordered a new grey one from Audi locally lol. 😃

[@PetrolPed]

Very true 👍

[@keithevans5667]

I'm in the UK! Evening Pedlerz 😉

[@PetrolPed]

Yeah 🙌👍

[@peter466]

I had a mk2 TT, the diesel one. Yes, I know, I know … a diesel on something that aspires to be a sportscar. But frankly it was a great car, very comfy on a long commute but nevertheless still fun on a back road. Frugal too. Can it hold a candle to my 981 Cayman. Nope! But I could fit a 55 inch TV in the boot of the TT with the seats down. Great cars for anyone who doesn’t have kids. With the TTRS, it’s always gonna suffer from being in the same price bracket as Caymans. Still great cars though.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for sharing!

[@robertpawley5715]

Found a red one 2020 RS would be perfect for my son. Love the interior and exterior design and the 5 cylinder engine

[@PetrolPed]

Good choice!

[@phughes4224]

Like you, I've nearly bought the TTRS a couple of times. The wing is personally too much for me, but it's a real shame to see such a style icon disappear.

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 😢

[@alanjennions7172]

I've had a 2020 Mk 3 TTRS for nearly 18 months and hands down, the best drivers car I've owned above the M cars and AMGs. Exceptional performance and handling, with great looks and reliability. Currently up for sale with F12 Perfomance in Leeds if anyone interested.

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice!

[@stevenbennett3922]

Audi taking pish on pricing what a surprise. Why is it going. Single platform, lack of demand for the volume they can produce etc. etc. and most likely the bean counters have had their say. Truly iconic car but unfortunately that doesn't matter any more.

[@anthhodgson7680]

Bought my mk3 TTS after watching your video years back and still have it, probably keep it for ever..

[@PetrolPed]

Amazing to hear 👍

[@antonybaxter9306]

Had my mk3 ttrs stage 2 for 5 years it’s been brilliant only trouble is what to replace it with,great video I’m of the same view that 30k extra for this model is too much

[@PetrolPed]

Stage 2…wow 😮

[@Watson1973]

Ironically as I watched this morning my opinion is I’m still not a fan of the TT I delivered to a customer last night and in her driveway was a pink Audi TT with JENNY wrote along the side of the car in a fancy signature decal and the headlights had eyelashes on them. And when I asked what she did Response was hairdresser and beautician Thought 2024 and she still made her TT a hairdresser car 😝 But it is sad that we losing iconic cars

[@seinsmeld13]

I shut it down well before it ended..........Brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

What ?!

[@jb1schoolofmotoring]

Sad times ped....😪. Wonderful engine , that 5 pot will be missed.....

[@PetrolPed]

It will 😢

[@martinmagee6611]

I had 2 TTS coupes, an RSQ3 and RS4 and loved the video and agree the Iconic is lovely but is for collectors. It is such a shame the TT brand is being scrapped because the the coupe was a great practical car and if an electric one came to market in the same shell in future I would buy it

[@PetrolPed]

Totally agree 👍

[@FF04RDF]

Beautiful car ….. I have the Mk3 45 Quattro and just love it. Space in the back with the ‘seats’ down is fantastic and the drive is great. I know it’s not a Porsche but neither was the price and for what I paid for it, it is a lot of fun ! Would love the RS or even the TTS.

[@PetrolPed]

Great cars 👍

[@mrmawson2438]

They were great cars back in the day
