Depending on which side of the Atlantic you hail from, the Audi TT has been called many names, but at the brand’s Ingolstadt headquarters, they prefer to just call it ‘successful’, especially, after sales surpassed the 500,000th mark, which includes two generation models, the original presented in 1998, and its successor in 2006.
To commemorate this sale milestone, Audi created a special edition version based on the TTS named Competition. Only 500 cars will be made for customers worldwide, of which 120 examples are for the United Kingdom.
Audi told us about the TTS Competition back in August, but today, it released pricing information for the UK models, with the Coupe version starting at £38,860 OTR and the Roadster from £42,320 OTR. According to Audi, the Competition models come with “£5,665-worth of styling and equipment upgrades for a premium of £2,815 over ‘standard’ TTS equivalents”.
While keeping the same 268hp (272PS) 2.0-liter turbocharged four, the Competition cars feature an RS-style fixed rear spoiler, 19-inch five-arm alloys, Impulse grey leather upholstery with ‘baseball’ stitching in grey and yellow, and a selection of additional driver aids and entertainment extras such as a DVD-based satellite navigation, a Bluetooth mobile phone interface and Audi Music Interface (AMI) iPod connection.
