This 2000 Audi TT 1.8T Quattro Roadster is a beautifully kept, European-spec example of Audi’s first-generation design icon. With its desirable 225 horsepower turbo engine, six-speed manual transmission, and Quattro all-wheel drive, it offers the most sought-after configuration of the early TT. Showing just 147,965 kilometers and owned by an enthusiast for the past 16 years, this Roadster stands out with its rare baseball-leather interior and exceptionally strong specification.
Introduced in 1998, the first-generation Audi TT quickly became a modern classic thanks to its Bauhaus-inspired styling and clean geometric lines. The Roadster added open-top enjoyment and a unique interior option: the now-iconic baseball-leather seats. This example is a European-spec model with only two owners from new, the most recent having cherished it for over a decade and a half. Its specification places it among the most desirable TT Roadsters of the era.
The TT presents sharply, with clean bodywork and the unmistakable rounded Roadster profile. The electric soft-top operates smoothly and is paired with an electric windbreaker for comfortable open-air driving. Xenon headlights, S-line exterior details, and tidy trim give the car a crisp, modern-classic appearance. It sits on new Michelin Pilot Sport tires, enhancing both grip and visual appeal.
Inside, the Roadster features the rare and highly collectible baseball-leather seats — a Roadster-exclusive option that has become one of the TT’s most recognizable design signatures. The cabin is equipped with heated seats, BOSE premium audio, air conditioning, and the characteristic aluminum trim elements that define the early TT interior. Everything presents cleanly and retains the original design charm that made the model an instant classic.
Powered by the 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 225 horsepower, this TT delivers strong, linear performance through its six-speed manual gearbox. Quattro all-wheel drive provides excellent stability and traction, making the Roadster both engaging and confidence-inspiring. The car drives well, with the tight, planted feel that has earned the first-generation TT a loyal following among enthusiasts.
This Roadster is equipped with the S-line sports package, Xenon headlights, cruise control, ABS, electric windows, electric mirrors, electric central locking, and a tonneau cover. The combination of baseball leather, Quattro, manual transmission, and high-spec equipment makes this a particularly rare and appealing example.
