The time has come for Audi to give its goodbyes to the TT in the USA, and as it entered the world, so too shall it exit: in style. This is all thanks to the incredibly alluring TT Roadster Final Edition model, with the catch being that it’s limited to only 50 units in the U.S.
Offered at an MSRP of $68,895 (including $1,095 destination charge), the model offers several unique design elements, highlighted by the special Goodwood Green pearl effect paint. A nod to the first-generation model, for which the same color was offered, it plays well against the Palomino Brown leather, which is a reference to the baseball stitch leather that was also offered when the TT first launched.
Outside, it also gets platinum gray matte bumper and side trim, thanks to the S line exterior treatment. This is the first time that the trim line is being offered on the third-generation TT Roadster, though the S line badging has been deleted to make it truly special.

To play against the gray trim, the soft top is also gray. The color was only used once before, on the 2019 TT Roadster 20th Anniversary edition model. The roof can be lifted or lowered in just 10 seconds, while the vehicle is traveling at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h).
The TT Roadster Final edition comes equipped with 20×9-inch 10-Y-spoke forged wheels that are wrapped in the same 255/30 R20 92Y XL summer tires that are fitted to the higher-performance TTS. It also borrows the magnetic ride suspension from the same model, which lowers the ride height by 10 mm (0.3 inches) and offers better driving dynamics.
There are no surprises under the hood where power is sourced from Audi’s ever-present 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. It makes 228 hp (170 kW/231 PS) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque, which is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission, all of which allows it to reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 5.5 seconds.
First presented to the world in 1998, the TT has been a staple of the Audi lineup ever since. However, the brand has announced that it is closing production of the car with the 2023 model. The automaker has bid farewell to the TT with special editions in the U.K., Japan, and now the U.S.
