Of all the European based tuners working on VWs, there is only one that will make the truly knowledgeable enthusiast take a second glance. For over half a century, the German modification specialist Oettinger set their sights on improving everything Volkswagen from Seats to Skodas and everything in between. The benefit of this is that 60 years later after Audi and VW have become one, Oettinger can produce a magnificent matte black Audi TT.

The Oettinger tuning program ranges from engine enhancements, to elegantly styled aero kits as is evident by this black TT that wears everything from a set of headlight masks to a carbon fiber front lip spoiler all making the TT a much more muscular machine finished off with a set of the signature Oettinger RE wheels. In addition to their engineers and electronic technicians, who are constantly developing and perfecting new engine enhancements so that hardcore VW enthusiasts will continue to have a place to turn to for high quality performance parts.

We know that Audi and Volkswagen share the same mother, but we still can’t find any reason why someone would badge a 2000 Audi TT with
Volkswagen logos. He could’ve just gotten a Volkswagen Golf if that’s all he wanted to do. After all, the Golf – as well as the Jetta, the Beetle, the Seat Leon, and the Skoda Octavia – shares the same platform, engine, and mechanics with the TT so he could’ve just spared himself and the ensuing public reaction a lot of trouble.

But this guy, who by the way is selling his re-badged TT on eBay, doesn’t see a problem with that. Heck, he even took his VW logo fascination past the TT’s exterior by adding some emblems on the car’s seats too.

His justification: “I just added Volkswagen logos around to make it look different, since they are the same company.” Ok, sure. That explains it a great deal, except that the scent of irony is a tad too intoxicating.

In any event, if you want to bid for this – and we can probably say this with full certainty – rather ’special’ one-off TT, the auction’s currently on-going on eBay.
