The third generation of the Audi TT is on a farewell tour, with special editions for different markets around the world commemorating the forthcoming end of production. The latest is the TTS Coupe Memorial Edition set to be offered in a limited number of 100 units for the Japanese market, featuring bronze accents inside-out and generous equipment.
The Japan-only special is available in three metallic shades – Glacier White, Mythos Black, and Kronos Gray. There is an option between two different 20-inch alloy wheel designs finished in bronze, just like the Audi Rings sticker on the profile. The grille has a matte black surround and a unique aluminum-style insert matching the garnish on the bumper intakes, side sills, and diffuser.

Inside we find bronze accents and drift anthracite details combined with additional leather-wrapped components. Likewise, the sports seats are upholstered in Nappa leather featuring matching bronze stitching and gray piping. Standard equipment includes the virtual cockpit, heated seats, privacy glass, matrix LED headlights, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, and plenty of ADAS.
There are no mechanical changes over the standard TTS Coupe, with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine producing 316 hp (235 kW / 320 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. The powertrain is exclusively mated to a seven-speed S-Tronic automatic and Quattro all-wheel drive. Finally, the Audi Magnetic Ride suspension comes standard, changing the characteristics of the ride according to the conditions.
The special edition TTS is already available to purchase for a cool ¥9,270,000 ($67,934) each. Audi Japan says that the TTS Coupe Memorial Edition is “the first commemorative model” which could hint at additional limited production specials before the final model rolls off the factory. Other special versions of the sportscar include TT Final Edition for the UK market and the TT RS Heritage Edition for the US.
The Audi TT has been around since 1998, with all three generations selling over 500,000 units all around the world. After 25 years, the automaker decided to axe the TT, at least in the current ICE-powered form, replacing it with a fully electric offering.
