Audi TT RS Model Years and History

For 2022 the Audi TT carries over with minimal changes, the TTS adds a Bronze Package and the TT RS gets a Heritage Package.

For 2021 the Audi TT gets leather seats as standard, the TT RS stereo system is now a premium Bang & Olufsen while the wheels on the TTS have been updated to 20-inches with premium summer performance tires.

Last year, the TT and the TTS both got refreshed styling around the front and rear fascias. This year, the TTRS also benefits from an update to the styling, with more aggression around the front bumper along with bigger air inlets. Meanwhile, the rear of the car gets a new wing. There are even new side skirts and optional OLED headlights. Other changes to the TT lineup include a new anti-theft system and a blackout trim option that includes 20-inch wheels.

The 2019 Audi TT/TTS receives a mild facelift to its exterior and a swath of newly included standard features this model year. All new TTs now come from the factory with 'Audi drive select' dynamic handling, illuminated USB ports, heated wing mirrors, sunlight and rain sensors, a multifunctional steering wheel and the ever-popular Audi Virtual Cockpit. New exterior design features include a darkened 3D single frame radiator grille, larger side air inlets and a sharp line that runs down the side of the body. Out back the rear fascia gets added outlets, new trim and single outlet exhaust tips. Under the hood a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission replaces last year's 6-speed unit. Audi has even added two special edition trims to commemorate the TT's 20 years.

The biggest change for 2018 is the return of the high performance TTRS, slotting above the TTS at the top of the TT hierarchy. The TTRS gets a bigger engine with more cylinders pumping out an impressive 400 hp, enough to rocket the TTRS to 60 mph in a claimed 3.6 seconds. However, the lesser TT models also get a few notable updates for 2018, starting with standard parking sensors across the range. New options for this year include an S line competition package and a tech package featuring a 680 watt Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Audi has introduced the S-Line Competition package for 2013. Intended for buyers who want more aggressive looks and a bit more handling prowess from the base TT, it adds a more aggressive body kit, xenon headlights, a 10 mm reduction in ride height and black wheels.

For 2012, Audi adds a high-performance RS model to the lineup. It features a 2.5L direct-injected 5-cylinder engine that makes 360 horsepower. It runs with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission. The RS is capable of getting to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The other TT models did not see major changes.
