Based on the 18T 225 hp Coupé and Roadster, Abt launched the TT-Sport. Once again, it featured the usual Abt logos and body kit parts, as well as engine tuning. This increased the Abt TT-Sport power from 225 hp to 300 hp. Together with the wide body, this version comes pretty close to the Abt TT-limited wide body in terms of sporty looks and performance. But it actually became even sportier thanks to the removal of the rear seat, the addition of a roll bar and the Recaro seats. So it's a nice mix of the Abt wide body version with the quattro sport introduced by Audi later in 2005, with just that little bit of extra power.
