- Presents very well

THE APPEAL
Whichever way you look at it, the Audi TT is not only a fantastic looking car but also offers pure driving pleasure and superb handling thanks to the world-famous Quattro drive train. Originally, the most powerful TT was the 225bhp, capable of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds. That was until the engineering team at Quattro GmbH came up with what can be described as the holy grail of Audi TTs, the Quattro Sport.
Produced with just 800 for the UK market, the new model was improved in every way possible by the GmbH team with the engine tuned to 237bhp. This brought the 0-6mph time down to 5.9 seconds, the gearbox was improved, the suspension was stiffened, and wider wheels were fitted to the rear. The interior saw the rear seat disappear and be replaced with a rear brace and luggage net, and the leather and Alcantara Recaro Pole Position seats with colour-coded backs offered maximum support.
Externally, the cars were given the body kit from the 3.2 litre V6, deeper bumpers and black rear diffuser with black tailpipes. Available in just five colours, all with a Phantom Black Pearl effect roof, Avus Silver, Mauritius Blue, Silver, Phantom Black or Misano Red like the one we have here.
This lovely example comes with just 88,053 miles. Mechanically, the vendor has taken care of any issues since he took ownership of the car nearly three years ago. Approximately 6,000 miles ago, an extensive service was carried out, which included the timing belt, tensioners and water pump. The interior has benefited from having the Alcantara seat centres and steering wheel retrimmed, so it now looks very fresh inside the cabin of the Quattro Sport, ready for the new custodian.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
