    We’ve covered the Audi TT RS Heritage cars in the past, but due to incredibly limited quantities and equally tasteful build configurations, we simply do not see them often. Just 50 in total (10 each of five different heritage-themed color combinations) were produced, which nearly guarantees the buyer of this particular Tailored Driver be the only one they’ll ever encounter- a feat usually reserved for cars in the 6 and 7 figure range. Through that lens, the modest bump in pricing over a run of the mill TT RS seems like a downright bargain. So here we’ve got nearly the perfect vehicle for the Tailored Driver ethos- an enthusiast model that boasts scarcity at a somewhat attainable price of entry.

    A massive thank you to Matt for the submission! If you have a line on something Tailored Driver should be featuring or may have missed, please do not hesitate to send us a private message.

    It’s been our experience that Audi TT owners are simply a different type of enthusiast. While it may be dismissed by the uninformed as a less-than, there simply is not a more dedicated, more committed, and more frankly nerdy bunch of fans out there. Sure 911s have a similar group behind them, but that car benefits from a cool factor that’s nearly ubiquitous. TT enthusiasm requires a quiet confidence, and an ability to regularly answer questions that with a 911 no one bothers to ask.

    So it makes sense then, that this Tailored Driver also goes above and beyond with a dedication that only the most astute Tailor would posses. Incredibly uncommon on US soil, Racing Blue Mica was chosen here, likely as a result of it’s popularity in Europe- something a real fan of the four rings would pick up on. But it’s the Audi exclusive Ocean Blue partial leather that really gets us going. Plucked from the original TT and briefly featured in special edition TTs, this interior becomes an incredibly special place, further elevated by matching door card inserts, the steering wheel’s center stripe, and stitching.

    The seller claims this is a one-of-one, and we don’t doubt that for a moment. Shame, really.
