Another special add-ons to differentiate the TT RS Heritage Edition from the regular TT RS is the “Heritage Edition” branding on the rear quarter glass.

On the sides, it gets Alu-optic mirror housings and other exterior elements. Coming inside, the TT RS Heritage Edition gets Alcantara wrapped steering wheel and shift lever. The steering wheel also sports a 12 o’clock marker in the same material as that of the seat. RS logo embossed floor mats with contrast stitching.
The 2022 TT RS Heritage Edition also gets a 174 mph top speed limiter. Coming to its powertrain the Audi TT RS Heritage Edition will be powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 that puts out 394 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. All the power is channeled through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive.
With this setup, the TT RS Heritage Edition will be capable of sprinting from 0-60 MPH in just 3.6 seconds. While what disappoints the most on the Audi TT RS is the lack of any advanced driver-assist features. Although it does gets airbags, stability control, pretensioners, etc. That being said, Audi will still continue to offer this legendary five-cylinder engine in its upcoming RS 3 model which is expected to go on sale by the end of the second quarter of 2022.
