The final example of the Audi TT has rolled off the production line in Hungary, bringing down the curtain on a nameplate that has spanned 3 generations and 25 years…

The Audi TT is no more. After 25 years, 3 generations and 662 762 units, the Ingolstadt-based firm has called time on the nameplate, with the final example having rolled off the Győr production line in Hungary.

Audi’s German account on Instagram confirmed the end of the line for the TT, posting images of the very last unit to be built. Judging by the photographs, the final example is a TT S coupé.

As a reminder, the badge (which stands for “Tourist Trophy”) was introduced to the world at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show in the form of the Audi TT concept. Around 3 years later, the production version (codenamed Type 8N) was unveiled, marking the start of a run that would last a quarter of a century.

In 2006, the 2nd-generation model (Type 8J) hit the market, before the Mk3 TT (Type FV/8S) made its debut in 2014. All 3 generations of the 2-door model – offered in both coupé and roadster guises – were available in South Africa.

For now, the TT is still listed on the German company’s South African website, with a trio of Audi Sport derivatives on offer: the TT S coupé quattro (R912000), the TT RS coupé quattro (R1 259700) and the TT RS roadster quattro (R1 317800). Of course, with production having officially ended, the nameplate will be put out to pasture here as well once local stock runs dry.

For the record, the TT S employs a turbocharged 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine sending 228 kW and 380 Nm to all 4 wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The RS, meanwhile, uses Audi’s turbocharged 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder petrol mill, which delivers 294 kW and 480 Nm to all 4 corners via a 7-speed dual-clutch cog-swapper.

The TT nameplate has spanned 3 generations.

Over the opening 10 months of 2023, Audi SA registered 71 units of the TT (compared with 106 units over the entirety of 2022). January 2023 was the nameplate’s strongest month of the year thus far, with 11 examples sold.

While Audi revealed the TT Final Edition earlier in the year, the brand’s local division confirmed to Cars.co.za there were no plans to introduce this run-out model here. That said, there’s still a chance to grab one of the last units allocated to South Africa … or hit the link below to browse our selection of used models.
