2022 Audi TT RS Heritage Edition First Look
Audi's esteemed TT RS sports car will exit the U.S. market for good, but not before gracing us with a special edition to celebrate its last hurrah. It departs in style with five color combinations that pay tribute to the 1980s Ur-Quattro and its legendary five-cylinder engine.

The 2022 Audi TT RS Heritage Edition will be limited to 50 examples broken up into groups of 10 units, each featuring an exclusive heritage paint. In the firing order of the five-cylinder engine, the color combinations are as follows (exterior and interior): Alpine White + Ocean Blue, Helios Blue metallic + Diamond Silver, Stone Gray metallic + Crimson Red, Tizian Red + Havanna Brown, and Malachite Green metallic + Cognac Brown. Additionally, all exterior paint and upholstery schemes get unique contrast stitching.
This limited-edition model also adds a heap of standard equipment. The TT RS Heritage Edition rides on 20-inch wheels and comes equipped with a sport exhaust, Alu-optic exterior trim package, an electric spoiler, and OLED taillights. Inside, it adds RS logo floor mats with contrast stitching, a 174 mph top speed limiter, and an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel and shift lever. So onlookers know you are driving something exclusive, an etched "Heritage Edition" with the "1-2-3-4-5" five-cylinder engine firing order decorates the right-side rear quarter glass.
As for the powertrain, nothing changes. The TT RS comes powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged I-5 rated at 394 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. It sends that force to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and could hustle from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
2022 marks the final year of the TT RS in America; however, the sporty coupe will be on sale in other international markets a bit longer. The 2022 Audi TT RS Heritage Edition and TT RS arrive in showrooms early next year, followed by the all-new RS3 in the summer. If you want a copy of the limited-edition sports car, you can snag one for $82,495. And if you cannot secure that deal, $74,245 gets you into the standard model.
