The time has come for Mat to say goodbye to the Audi TT RS!
He’s got his hands on the new Audi TT RS Iconic Edition – a limited-edition TT which is the last one Audi will ever produce! The question is, does this last-ever TT RS do its predecessors justice?!
Well when it comes to the design, there are a few notable changes. Starting around the back the Iconic Edition comes equipped with a huge carbon fibre spoiler which is mounted to the car with a swan neck design. The rear diffuser has also become more pronounced and has had carbon added to it. Around the side, there are extended side skirts, and at the front, there’s an extended splitter, more additional carbon, and matrix LED headlights now come as standard.
So there are a couple of notable additions to the outside, but it’s a different story on the inside! The TT RS Iconic Edition comes with the RS styling pack, although whereas this would normally lead to the inclusion of red stitching throughout the car, in this instance it’s coloured yellow… And that’s it! Otherwise, the interior is just the same as a regular TT RS.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any changes to be found under the bonnet either! Lift up the hood and you’ll find the same 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo as in a regular TT RS, with the power output also remaining the same, at 400hp and 480Nm. In terms of the chassis, it has been lowered slightly and comes equipped with stiffer suspension, but otherwise, the car pretty much matches the regular edition.
So there are a few changes, but nothing huge. So that begs the question – is it really worth the eye-watering £87,650 price tag?! And keep in mind, that’s £27,000 more than a regular TT RS! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
