2022 TT RS Heritage Edition Limited to 50 Units
The 2022 model year marks the end of the TT RS in the States, and if you want one of the last examples, you better act quick.
The Audi TT has been a fixture of the company’s lineup for nearly 25 years, and the sporty coupe is often cited as a modern design classic. Since 2009, there’s also been an RS version on the books — but all good things must come to an end. The 2022 model year will mark the end of the TT RS on our shores, and if you want one of the last examples, you’re going to have to act quick. Only 50 versions of the top-spec model are headed for the States, and they’re sure to be snapped up before they leave the production line.
The 50 units will be composed of five unique color schemes, and for the math-challenged folks out there, that means there will be ten of each. The choices will be Malachite Green with Cognac Brown leather and black stitching, Alpine White with Ocean Blue leather and Diamond Silver stitching, Helios Blue with Diamond Silver leather and Ocean Blue stitching, Tizian Red with Havana Brown leather and Jet Gray stitching, and Stone Gray with Crimson Red leather and Jet Gray stitching. Fans will note those are all color combos sported by the iconic UR-Quattro
Under the hood, all the RS models will have the turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder good for 394 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of twist, and send power to all four corners via a seven -speed dual clutch transmission. But while there won’t be any more power on the menu, the Heritage Edition TTs will get unique 20-inch wheels, a sport exhaust, OLED lighting, and lose the rear wing. Along with the distinctive colorways, these models will also have “Heritage Edition” and the I5’s firing order — 1-2-4-5-3 — etched into the rear quarter windows.
At this point, there’s no word on when the standard TT and TTS models will be put out to pasture. But given Ingolstadt’s rapid push toward electrification, it’s a safe bet it won’t be too long. Maybe the brass will decide to stick it out until 2023, and let the model mark its 25th anniversary? Regardless, the TT Heritage Edition will arrive in showrooms in early 2022, and list for $82,495.
