Audi TT RS Iconic Edition
Auto Express
|June 14, 2023
FIRST DRIVE With just 11 examples being sold in the UK, is the ultimate TT worth its near-£90k price tag?
WITH the we the end of its life, Audi is hoping that a few of its most committed fans will be convinced by the ultimate expression of the coupé: the TT RS Iconic Edition. It's limited to 100 units worldwide, with 11 of those set for the UK, and has a £87,650 price tag - £25,485 more than the top-spec TT RS Audi Sport Edition.
The technical package is the same as the standard TT RS, with a 394bhp turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Haldex-style all wheel drive system. But it does get uprated adaptive dampers and 20-inch wheels.
Audi's changes are instead more focused around the design. All Iconic Editions are painted in Nardo Grey, with black-coloured elements on the badges, bumpers and mirror caps. The front bumper has some distinctive flicks, which are meant to balance out the extra downforce provided by the new carbon-fibre rear wing that has swan-neck mounts. It definitely gives the Iconic Edition a more exotic look, especially when you see an end plate in your wing mirror.
