It's the end of the road for the iconic Audi TT, which will end production after the 2023 model. To mark the occasion, Audi is introducing the 2023 TT Roadster Final Edition designed to celebrate three generations of the TT's iconic design. It's on sale now but only 50 of these special models will be available here in the U.S.
2023 Audi TT Roadster Final Edition
The Final Edition celebrates heritage of the Audi TT - a vehicle that launched a number of design and technology firsts for the brand, including the electronically deployable rear spoiler, Audi virtual cockpit, and the first Audi with available OLED taillights.

Available only as roadsters, Final Edition models are finished in an Audi exclusive shade of green – Goodwood Green pearl effect. The hue was offered as a series production color for the first-generation TT Roadster. Unique cabin elements include a modern interpretation of the original TT’s baseball stitch seats.
The TT Final edition adds an exclusive list of equipment not available on other Roadster models, including:
- Audi exclusive Goodwood Green pearl effect
- Audi exclusive Palomino Brown stitching
- Audi exclusive floor mats
- Audi magnetic ride
- Extended leather package in seat color
- Gray convertible top
- 20x9-inch 10-Y-spoke design forged wheels
- Carbon fiber inlays
- S line exterior
Unique exterior design elements
Platinum gray matte exterior bumper trim and side trim elements are integrated with the S line exterior, which is offered for the first time on the third generation TT Roadster, and comes equipped without S line badging for increased exclusivity. Complementing the gray accents of the S line exterior is a gray convertible top. The gray color soft-top was only previously used on the 2019 TT Roadster 20th Anniversary edition, and features an electrohydraulic drive system that can raise and lower the roof in just 10 seconds while the vehicle is driving at speeds of up to 31 mph.
Unique interior design elements
Inside, the TT Final edition is finished in Palomino Brown leather, which harkens back to the first generation’s iconic baseball stitch leather. When paired with the Audi exclusive Goodwood Green exterior, it creates a timeless combination and is a tribute to the first-generation TT Roadster.

The TT Final edition comes standard with an extended leather package, which finishes the door armrests and center console in the same Palomino Brown leather and stitching, as well as black leather covering the airbag cap and instrument cluster hood. Audi exclusive Palomino Brown stitching was added to the steering wheel and gear selector boot, and the floor mats are trimmed with Palomino Brown leather piping and stitching to complete the look of the interior.
S sport seats are also equipped with neck heaters and include built-in seatbelt microphones for optimizing Bluetooth and voice recognition operation.
Finally, carbon fiber inlays adorn the interior surfaces, underlining the sporty character of the TT Roadster Final edition.
Legendary TT performance
The TT Roadster Final edition rides on 20x9-inch 10-Y-spoke design forged wheels, wrapped with 255/30 R20 92Y XL summer tires, borrowed from the sporty TTS. It's also equipped with the TTS's magnetic ride suspension system, which adapts the damping forces depending on the driving situation for increased driving dynamics, as well as provides a lower center of gravity with its 10mm reduction in ride height compared to the standard suspension.
Under the hood you'll find a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 228-horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque that comes mated to a 7-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. Audi cites a 0-60 mph time in as little as 5.5 seconds.
The TT Designation
Audi says the model name “TT” is reminiscent of the legendary Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man – one of the oldest motorsports events in the world where Auto Union brands, NSU and DKW, celebrated great successes with their motorcycles. NSU would later use the TT nomenclature to commemorate the brand’s historic race championship on its sporty small car – the TT Prinz.
In 1998, Audi debuted its TT Coupe to the world – with the Roadster model arriving just one year later. The Bauhaus inspired design challenged conventional ideas of Audi design, while the Audi TT’s name itself was a deliberate departure from the brand’s usual nomenclature to underscore the novelty of the model line.
Availability and Pricing
The Audi TT Roadster Final edition is on sale now for the U.S. market with an MSRP of $67,800 plus $1,095 destination charge.
