The Audi TT has been a trailblazer in the sports car segment for 25 years, and to celebrate its enduring legacy, Audi UK has launched a highly-specified Final Edition as production draws to a close. Available as a coupe or roadster, the TT Final Edition is also offered as a high-performance TTS. With exclusive design touches and enhanced customer value thanks to the increased level of standard equipment, the Final Edition is designed to sit towards the top of the TT’s specification range.

The Final Edition is marked out by the black styling pack with black Audi rings and badging, black door mirrors, black tailpipes, and a fixed rear spoiler all finished in black. The interior of the Final Edition is just as impressive, with a wealth of additional comfort and convenience features that bring the driver-focussed cabin to new levels. The armrests in the doors, door pull handles, and trim on the centre console are all finished in leather as part of the extended leather pack. An Alcantara steering wheel with red stitching and 12 o’clock marker is unique to the Final Edition, along with the Tango red inserts on the seats, air vents, and centre console. Further enhancements include Alcantara-trimmed seats with decorative red stitching and red piping on the floor mats.

The Audi TT Final Edition comes with a range of advanced technology features as standard, including MMI Navigation Plus with MMI Touch and Audi Connect Infotainment Services. The Final Edition is a limited release, so if you’re looking to experience the ultimate driving machine, now is the time to act.

Goodwood, the spiritual home of British motor racing, is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary with a year-long series of events and festivities. Dubbed Goodwood 75, the celebration will pay tribute to the rich history and heritage of motorsport at Goodwood, while embracing the future of the sport. The celebrations will be spread across the Goodwood Motor Circuit, which turns 75 this year, as well as other venues and events associated with Goodwood.

The Goodwood Motor Circuit opened in 1948 and has since played host to some of the greatest drivers and cars in motorsport history, including Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, and Jackie Stewart, among others. The circuit was closed for racing in 1966, but it remains open year-round and offers visitors the chance to take part in a variety of driving experiences.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the circuit, Goodwood will be holding a range of events throughout the year, including the 80th Members’ Meeting, Festival of Speed, and Goodwood Revival. Visitors to the circuit will also be able to take part in photo opportunities and enjoy the new Driving Simulator Room, which features Exsim VR5 Simulators that use D Box actuator technology and custom-developed motion profiles.

The year-long celebration will also include a dedicated Goodwood 75 hillclimb batch at the Festival of Speed and a specially-curated grid of cars from the last 75 years at the ‘75th Sunday’ Breakfast Club. Fans can get involved by sharing their memories of Goodwood using the #Goodwood75 hashtag on social media.
