We are pleased to present this incredibly preserved 2013 Audi TT RS finished in Daytona Gray Pearl Effect over a black leather interior. Developed by Audi's high-performance subsidiary, the TT RS features several exclusive upgrades over standard TT models including a turbocharged 5-cylinder engine, a reinforced Quattro all-wheel-drive system, larger brakes, lowered ride height, and a fixed rear wing. This highly desirable 6-speed example features the optional Titanium Sport Exhaust Package as well as the Tech Package which includes adaptive headlights, a Bose Sound System, and interior LED lighting among other driver amenties. A lifelong California car, this 2013 example has remained under the care of its original owner from new and is now being offered for auction with less than 400 miles showing on the odometer.
This TT is finished in Daytona Gray Pearl Effect and is distinguished as an RS version by its rocker panel extensions, deeper front and rear valences, and model-specific fixed rear wing. The only noted imperfection is a scrape on the underside of the front bumper from entering a driveway, additional images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean one-owner CARFAX report. The optional Titanium Sport Exhaust Package includes a titanium front grille as well as 19” titanium rotor-design wheels which come dressed in Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires.
The cabin is trimmed in black Nappa leather upholstery with decorative contrast stitching. Optional heated seats are equipped along with the $3500 Tech Package which includes Navigation System Plus with real-time traffic, the Audi Parking System with rear acoustic sensors, an Audi music interface, Bose Sound System, adaptive headlights, and the interior LED Lighting Package.
Power comes from a turbocharged 2.5L inline 5-cylinder FSI engine producing up to 355 HP and 343 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven by way of a rare 6-speed manual transmission and a Haldex-based Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Factory upgrades to the RS version include larger 370mm two-piece floating brake rotors, an S-button to enhance throttle response and exhaust sound, and revisions to the Quattro all-wheel-drive system in order to accommodate additional power. Periodic oil and filter changes are said to have been carried out and there are no outstanding maintenance items reported at this time. The seller adds that the car has been driven on occasion for mechanical exercise, and has otherwise spent its life on a lift in order to preserve the tires and suspension.
This sale will include two master keys, one spare key, original owner's manuals, a window sticker, and a clean title. Do not miss this very special opportunity to own an incredibly low-mileage example of a rare 6-speed Audi TT RS.

@autohaus-vt Thanks for the observation. The video was shot in 4K which enhances the optics, colors and clarity of the clip. There are zero mechanical or electrical issues with this car and everything performs as new. You are welcome to perform a PPI at your expense should you win the bidding. If it fails, then don’t buy it! Hope this puts your mind at ease. Cheers!
Curious if anyone knows why the LED daytime running lights, the instrument cluster lights, air bag off light are all flickering in the video that was provided.

@autohaus-vt As a former and certified Porsche - Audi dealer I assure you that I understand your question and concern completely. The only issue with this TT RS is a few “scuffs/scrapes” to the bottom of the front chin spoiler. These were done on day of purchase at very low speed while entering the steep driveway at home. There is no other damage or wear and tear to this car. Please look closely at the picture gallery and you can see there is nothing visual from the front (see picture #9 and zoom in). The scuffs are a quick and inexpensive fix, should you choose to do so. Thanks.
OK, but I was asking about what you cannot see, the support structures behind the bumper cover. Hopefully those are OK, because they are costly.
thank you in advance

@NHCarguy thank you?
Bidders and watchers…I understand the questions and concerns regarding an 8 year old car with such low mileage. Also, truth and honesty is a valued commodity these days. This car is as new - minus the minor scuffs on the chin spoiler. The owner is a 70+ retired military officer and gentleman. The car was an impulse purchase when new, but has been visited and cared for in a climate controlled garage. It will not disappoint the new owner at any level. Thanks to all for your input and bidding.
@Buckleup Thanks for your comment. I have no record of a brake fluid flush or coolant changed out. It did get a new battery and 15K Audi service in 2016, and has been on a maintainer with an occasional drive for exercise. Fluids have not been exposed to degradation. Fuel has been augmented with stabilizer.
I may have missed it in the comments but besides oil has the brake fluid been flushed or coolant changed? Beautiful car.
@autohaus-vt sorry for the delayed response. The front chin spoiler was “scraped” at very low speed when entering the driveway of the home. It is not cracked or any other damage. At best, one would remove and refinish. It is only noticeable when on a lift or if you crawl under the nose of the car.
relative to a PPI discussed earlier, and regarding the biff shown in the photos under the front bumper, has anyone looked to see if support items such as a lock carrier (radiator or intercooler support pieces) had any damage? our experience is that it doesn't take much of an impact to crack those.
A new photo has been added to the listing gallery.
Good morning y’all. We’re in the home stretch. Don’t let this beauty slip away. I welcome your comments and messages. Thank you and good luck.
@mtkatrev I just uploaded an interior shot of the seats to the editor. You may not see it until the morning. Please reach out thru the “contact seller” button with your email address if you need to see it sooner or have any direct questions. Thanks.
@mtkatrev - so sorry for the missing photos of the seating. I did not notice the photographer missed some good interior shots of the seats. I’ll see what I can do about that. See photo #55, illustrating the deviated stitching on the sport bucket seats. Thanks.
I'm sure it was a simple oversight, but do you happen to have photos of the front seats? I wish this one had more mile to be within my reach. A gem for sure. GLWTS

@autohaus-vt No worries, your question may have clarified it for others. Thanks for participating. Now buy it my friend!!!
@NHCarguy Sorry, silly me, I should have known that as all Aud's inline engines have chains, not belts since 2010.
Bid in the amount of $27,000
@autohaus-vt I would agree, except the 2.5L turbo in the RS has a timing chain, not a belt. Hope this information helps in your decision. Sorry for the delayed response, was away from my computer. Cheers!
Age affects timing belts, but I suspect it's the original belt. Am I correct?
Good morning bidders and watchers. I hope that you are excited to bid, win and buy this beautiful pocket rocket -TT RS. My market research tells me that there are fewer than 10 MY13 Audi TT RS for sale in the country…and none with new car miles like this. Likewise, Audi dealers across the country have minimal new car inventory. Don’t let this one slip away. Bid often and bid to win!! Always on deck for Q&A, thank you for participating.

@PArealtor no sir, but you are more than welcome to do so as a condition of sale. Honestly, the car is as new. Thanks.
Has any type of PPI been done by an Audi dealer?
@Robcorn Tires are an individual choice and I understand the concern. However, this car has been on a lift in a climate controlled garage. The visuals clearly to not show signs of aging or deterioration. There is no flat spotting. I would recommend not spending the money on tires after purchase, unless the buyer lives his life at 120+ mph. Thanks for your input. ?
@NHCarguy Thanks! They still will need to be replaced, as 7 years on tires is too old, but that's okay.
@Robcorn pictures of tires have been uploaded to the gallery. I assure you that they are well preserved and in “as new condition”. Feel free to direct message for any further information. Thank you for your interest.
@NHCarguy awesome thanks!
@Robcorn pictures of all 4 tires and tread quality will be uploaded shortly. Thanks.
@Robcorn Thanks for your question, they are the original tires…however, the car has been off the ground on a lift and there is no dry rot or any other distress. I have close up pictures of all 4 indicating as such. You may be able to zoom in on the tires to see the date codes. The owner has done periodic oil changes on his own. LMK if you wish to see the pictures of the tires. Sorry for the slow response…dinner time!
What are the date codes on the tires and has any maintenance been performed at all.

@HelpMeHelpU The purchase was an impulse buy. The owner was discouraged when he arrived home to discover that his steep driveway was difficult to navigate with the low profile of the TT RS. Has other cars/truck to use and just stored the car. Thanks, feel free to email with any other questions.
Just curious...what was the thinking of not driving this car? These are great cars but AFAIK they are not really known as collector items.
Perhaps, though, you were just waiting for someone like me who didn't buy one the first time around and loves the idea of an MT TT RS. :-)
