A 2009 Audi TT Prestige coupe with 33,000 miles is being offered for sale after remaining in the care of its original owner until earlier this year. The car is offered by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, and comes with its owner's manual, a clean Carfax report and a New Jersey title. The listing presents the car as a well-kept example of the 8J-generation TT, with a mileage figure that reflects light use over more than a decade.
The coupe is finished in Brilliant Black, paint code LY9B, over Luxor Beige Nappa leather with contrasting stitching. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre TFSI inline-four, factory rated at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Power reaches all four wheels through a six-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transaxle and Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The oil was most recently changed in 2024, and the Carfax report records no accidents or other reported damage. The digital odometer reads 33k miles.
Equipment includes xenon headlights, fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, 17-inch five-spoke wheels, heated power-adjustable seats, split-folding rear seats, Audi Navigation Plus, a Bose sound system, a remote CD changer, cruise control and automatic climate control. The leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The 17-inch wheels are fitted with Michelin Primacy MXM4 tyres, which carry date codes from 2020, and four-wheel disc brakes provide the stopping power.
The photo gallery shows a dent on the passenger-side door as well as various other body imperfections, details the seller has made visible to prospective buyers. Those disclosures matter for a car sold on its condition rather than its restoration.
The listing's interest for buyers also lies in the TT's place in Audi's history. The model's Quattro lineage is the subject of a separate new project: British firm Audacious Automotive has unveiled the IV, a restomod tribute to the original Audi Quattro that uses underpinnings from the B7-generation Audi RS4 (2006-2008). Buyers can choose an original Quattro shell, although founder Mac Zaglewski has said pristine donor vehicles are avoided and that the intention is to give tired cars a new lease on life. Alternatively, carbonfibre bodywork requires no donor, and Audacious expects such cars to make up around 80% of the production run.
Engine options for the IV run from 600bhp, using a supercharged version of the RS4's 4.2-litre V8, to 750bhp in the Stage Two package with strengthened internals, cooling and fuelling. The most ambitious version revs to 10,000rpm, with the option to omit the supercharger. All variants are mated to the RS4's original six-speed manual gearbox, and target weights are 1400-1450kg for Quattro-shell cars and 1200kg for carbonfibre examples. Zaglewski said the car must be "very much usable, very much enjoyable and very much analogue".
A total of 50 examples will be built at Audacious's base in Edinburgh, with the first customer delivery scheduled for late next year. Zaglewski said the entire process, from commissioning a car to it being on the road, takes around three years. Prices start at £350,000, excluding VAT, donor vehicles, transport, registration and specification.
