Sadly, the brand has announced that only 50 units (10 units for each colour shade) will be available to retain its exclusivity.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- 2022 Audi TT RS is now available with Heritage Edition.
- Audi will say goodbye to TT RS with this exclusive edition.
- Only 50 units will be available in the entire US market.
2022 Audi TT RS Heritage Edition
Enthusiasts are really fond of the unconventional five-cylinder engine from Audi. To recall, this was the same unit that won the “International Engine of the Year Award” nine times in a row. For one last time, the final or Heritage Edition of the 2022 Audi TT RS will be available with five different exterior colour shades, including – Alpine White, Tizian Red metallic, Stone Grey metallic, Malachite Green metallic and Helios Blue metallic. Similarly, the interior of all five of them will also differ.
Apart from these exclusive colour schemes, Audi has also decided to offer some new equipment. To be precise, all 50 units of Heritage Edition will proudly run on a set of large 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. Other than this, the limited-run sports cars will also get the Alcantara steering wheel, Sport exhaust, electric spoiler, OLED taillamps and Alcantar finished gear knob to name a few.
While this might be an endgame for TT RS in the US, the carmaker believes that it will remain for sale in the other markets for a few more days. Thankfully, we will be witnessing this legendary motor in the upcoming RS3 range and that’s another reason why enthusiasts are definitely ending this year on a very positive note.
