A rare gem from the TT universe: the limited edition Roadster 24H, specially conceived for the Belgian market! Beautiful plans were forged in 2001: an exclusive series of 25 numbered examples based on the powerful 225 hp Roadster. From October that year, this unique version would be available, with a price tag of €52,600*.
Although the Belgian Roadster 24H is very similar to the French TT Le Mans edition, there are subtle but special differences. Think an aluminium gear knob instead of the French red leather, and a red leather steering wheel where the French got Alcantara. Details that will surely divide enthusiasts into 2 camps in terms of preference.

| The extraordinary fate of a Belgian legend
The idea was fantastic: 25 exclusive Roadsters with impressive specifications. But the reality turned out differently. In the end, only one was built for Belgian importer D'Ieteren - a rare appearance, numbered 20/25, and recorded in the D'Ieteren magazine (see header photo). This car found a home at dealer Llorens in Neufchâteau: |

| And then... it disappeared Over time, this unique Roadster was exported to France, where it disappeared off the radar. Perhaps that is why there is so little footage of this version - a mysterious chapter in TT history.

To celebrate, Audi is launching a very limited series of 25 examples of the Audi TT Roadster especially for Belgium. As the basis for the TT Roadster 24H, they used the 225hp quattro variant in “Ambition” trim. The 24H adds a hardtop in body colour, an aluminium gear knob, a 20 mm lowered suspension and 18-inch wheels with low-profile tyres. Available only in “Avus grey” and crimson leather for the interior trim and recognisable by the numbered 24H logo on the boot lid. You pay BEF 2,121,900 or €52,600* for this exclusive variant.
