    Remember when the Audi TT redefined automotive style? Here's your chance to own a virtually new example of that icon.

    A factory-ordered unicorn finished in the stunning and seldom-seen Denim Blue Metallic over a matching Denim Blue Leather interior. Ordered new in dry Colorado, it lived a cherished, garaged life, never seeing snow or rain, before joining a private Maryland collection in 2022. Its condition reflects this careful stewardship.

    This is the pure Mk1 TT experience with the high-output 225HP Turbocharged engine, the 6-speed manual gearbox, and the Quattro All-Wheel Drive.

    This TT has just undergone (April 2025) an extensive, no-expense-spared preventative maintenance service by marque specialists. This included the critical Timing Belt, Water Pump, Tensioners, Thermostat, Full Fluid Flush (Oil, Coolant), Filters, and Plugs. New premium Bridgestone Potenza tires were fitted less than 400 miles ago.

    Complete service records from new accompany the vehicle, documenting its meticulous care.

    A genuine head-turner that drives as beautifully as it looks. It needs nothing but its next discerning owner.

    Finding another Mk1 TT with this mileage, in this spectacular color combination, with this level of recent preparation is highly unlikely.

    That's awesome. I had a 2000 TT coupe. It was only the 180hp version. I still think the interiors on these is one of the best designs ever.

    I remember seeing these on the roads here in az before they were released and they were doing hot weather testing.

    Those cars were like space ships on the road. Such a neat design.

    Back when design was important

    Nice TT! I don't understand the mounted cell phone, which looks to be at least a decade older than the car itself.

    these are such cool cars! The interiors are very well done... minimalistic yet very functional. Turn the aluminum ring around the vent to increase or decrease air flow.
    I had one for years... did the APR upgrade for an extra 43 hp.... made it very peppy!
    i miss that car!

    Fun little factoid of the TT design. They originally came without the rear spoiler. There were a series of pretty bad high speed accidents as they realized that handling at 120+ mph was questionable at best, and the rear had no downforce and it became unstable at high speeds. So they had a recall and retrofitted the spoiler and ESP to all TT's.

    I couldn't agree more. The details of the design of this car are magnificent. Interior and exterior. A masterpiece of beauty and function coming together.

    My 2000 was one of the early cars without the rear spoiler. The recall was to add the spoiler and I believe some of the rear suspension pieces were re-designed. The talk on the Audi forums at the time was that the original rear suspension was better for spirited driving. When I had the recall done I had the spoiler added but asked to not do the suspension. I don't recall ESP being a part of the recall at all.

    Thanks!

    As for the phone it is an original AUDI car phone. This car was ordered with all the options at the time (see window sticker below). This is a phone with late 1990s technology which was common in cars at the time. It is so clean and nice that I decided to keep it. Two bolts and it comes off but to me it ads so much charm to the car. Next owner can easily remove it if they wish.

    Note the detail of the AUDI TT design shape in the phone mount. Just special.

    I wonder if someone makes a kit to link the car phone with your cell. That would be fun.

    Yes and he has the very last one delivered in the US with a mere 49 miles on the odometer. That said the car in this listing is a wonderful time capsule and looks to be beautifully preserved. Asking price seems more than reasonable given the condition and rarity.

    Thank you for the kind comment @Nuvolari this is in fact a very special and rare car given its condition.

    As a curiosity I ran the original new price in Nov/2000 through the CPI Inflation calculator on the Bureau of Labor and Statistics and it calculated an equivalent price adjusted for inflation of $74,246.27 in today' dollars.
