The last of the breed is a TTS Coupe with the turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine and Quattro all-wheel drive shared with the S3.
The sad image is not accompanied by a press release, as the announcement was made by Audi on its official German account on Instagram.
Originally unveiled at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the first-generation model went on sale three years later as a coupe, with a roadster launched in 1999.
Before being put out to pasture, the TT spawned its fair share of final editions in more than a few regional markets. Its retirement marks the beginning of the gradual demise of the five-cylinder engine, which is still available in the RS3 and RS Q3. In its heyday, the sports car was offered with an even bigger engine, as the first two generations were available with a VR6.
As for the future, the German luxury brand has hinted that the TT could one day return as an electric car, but a decision has yet to be made. Hopefully, it'll remain a coupe and roadster duo. Lest we forget, there have been concepts with different body styles, such as a swoopy sedan (2014 TT Sportback) and a crossover (2014 TT Offroad).
