Stunning sports car dubbed ‘sublime’ by Jeremy Clarkson can be bought for less than £12,000

The beloved model was discontinued last year but can still be picked up second-hand at reasonable prices for now.

Dating back almost 30 years to 1998, the Audi TT is one of the most popular motors the German brand has ever produced.

It derives its name from the Isle of Man TT, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and dangerous motorsport events in the world.

While that may seem like a lot to live up to the TT, at least in Jeremy’s opinion, certainly does just that.

Reviewing a 2015 edition of the car for The Sunday Times, the Grand Tour presenter wrote: “Now I would love at this point to tell you that the TT is not much fun to drive.

“But I’m afraid I can’t because it’s sublime.

“This, then, is Audi’s best car in decades…It’s a machine gun in a dress.”

Not only that, but the car has had a starring role on the silver screen thanks to Audi’s relationship with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

TT’s have appeared in both Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015 and 2017’s SpiderMan: Homecoming

Despite its appeal, though, the TT is available at very reasonable rates online.

One listing on Auto Trader puts a similar 2015 version with just £44,000 miles on the clock at £11,550.

Hot hatch that Clarkson likened to a ‘mini Lamborghini’ can be bought for £5k

For those looking to buy on finance, that works out at just £303 per month for the 150+mph coupe.

Likewise, a 2008 model with 62,000 miles on it can be had for under £5,000 on the same site.

It comes after a hatchback labelled the “most comfortable in the world” by Jeremy was found to be available for under £5,000.

Meanwhile, the staggering cost of fixing the UK’s potholes was revealed as Brits reported a million road defects last year.
