The Appeal
First introduced as a concept at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Audi TT would set out to offer a superb balance of luxurious touches, sporty performance, and signature Audi styling. Since production commenced in 1998, the TT has of course proven to be incredibly popular over the years, now spanning across 3 generations, receiving praise from critics & enthusiasts alike along the way.
Within Audi’s impressive TT lineup stand a few rather tasty special editions, with this very Quattro Sport model arguably near chief among them. Expanding upon the Mk1 TT’s already impressive platform, the Quattro Sport model benefits from some serious weight reduction, a superb increase in power, and sporty styling cues as far as the eye can see.
In addition to its impressive specification, this special edition TT also boasts impressive rarity, being one of just 800 right-hand-drive models. As such, the Quattro Sport presents superb collection potential, with low-mileage, well-maintained examples such as this very vehicle setting the bar incredibly high.
If you’re in the market for a rare Audi TT that will never fail to spark conversation wherever it ventures, and will continually impress anyone lucky enough to be behind the wheel, this is the car for you.
