Vehicle Description
This 2006 Audi TT Special Edition represents state of the art
German engineering in a sporty, great looking (and limited) package
that's only logged about a year's worth of mileage in it's
lifetime.
Audi had a real winner on its hands from the time they first
released the TT, which takes its name from the Tourist Trophy
bestowed at the annual Isle of Man motorcycle race. The first
generation alone, which this '06 closed out, garnered both North
American Car of the Year (the automotive version of the Oscars) and
made Car and Driver's Ten Best List. It's always been a great,
distinctive looking car - low to the ground and refined, but not
too showy - and even to this day Audi really hasn't made any
drastic styling changes to it, focusing instead on more subtle
refinements year over year. By virtue of its special edition status
- it's one of only 99 of its kind - this TT really stands out in a
crowd, and it still has a showroom look to it, with a silver and
black color combo that's in fine form with no oxidation or fading
in sight, and headlights that stare back at you through lenses that
are clear as day. Being garage kept over the years certainly has
its advantages.
The black leather interior has also been a beneficiary of this
Audi's light usage over the years: you have to take a close look to
even find evidence of any hands gripping the leather-wrapped
steering wheel. TT's of this era have great bucket seats - well
contoured for support and very comfortable - and you'll find the
pair on display here to be in very clean condition and sitting
astride a center console that's also been treated with respect. All
the comfort features you could want are on board, including air
conditioning, heated power seats that really come in handy during
the winter, cruise control, power windows and an AM/FM/player.
While the TT won't be confused with your typical transport vehicle,
it does house a full-fledged bench seat in back whose 50/50 split
is very convenient, and there's some usable room in back of that -
even with the seating upright. Fold it down and it's surprisingly
spacious and in good order as well, with no staining or scuffs to
be found.
A 3.2 liter fuel injected V6 sits under the hood in an engine bay
that's clean as a whistle. It's the largest displacement powerplant
offered on first generation TTs and has great throttle response,
with none of the turbocharger lag often found in the smaller engine
options. It sounds an appealing note out of its dual exhausts and
is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission that's well geared
for performance while still providing convenience in stop and go
driving. Sitting low to the ground with a relatively wide stance
and all-wheel drive sending power to all four corners, the TT is
one seriously nimble handler, and its power disc brakes bring it to
a stop in short order as it cruises the asphalt on a set of stock
Audi TT rims, wrapped with Continental tires.
This 2006 Audi TT Special Edition offers a great chance to put a
stylish, well-engineered sports car in your garage - and for a
great price. Call today!
