Audi South Africa has celebrated the production of 500 000 TT compact sports cars with a limited edition model called the Audi TTS Competition.

There’ll be just 25 of these special cars coming to South Africa and if you’re a fan of powerful, compact Audis, you’re in for a treat. The Audi TTS Competition comes with quattro all-wheel drive, S-tronic twin-clutch transmission as well as 200 kW of power. There’ll be just 500 global units, making it quite a collector’s item. The 25 earmarked for South Africa have already been snapped up, but I’m pretty sure some will turn up on pre-owned floors within a few months.

The Audi TTS Competition comes in special paint finishes like Imola Yellow or Nimbus Grey, and it receives the attractive rear wing similar to the potent Audi TT-RS. It has eye-catching 18-inch wheels too.

Audi TTS Competition engine

The engine has 200 kW and 350 Nm, meaning the Audi TTS Competition has the go to match the show. Thanks to the wonderful S-tronic gearbox, the coupe can sprint to 100km/h in around 5.5 seconds, while fuel economy is claimed to sit at 7.7l/100km. Given the sporty nature of the Audi TTS Competition, I doubt you’ll see that figure as you’ll want to be driving in a brisk fashion. Top speed is limited to 250km/h.

Features and equipment

Interestingly, the Audi TTS Competition has no options available, and all features are fitted as standard. You get MMI satnav, xenon headlights with daytime LEDs, park assist, Bluetooth connectivity, Bose audio system, electric seats with lumbar support, S sports suspension, quad exhaust pipes, special TTS instrument dials, lap timer and a stylish flat-bottom steering wheel.
