S3_Scot Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hope it is the 5cy turbo, would be nice for them to use something different. Haldex should be ok with 350hp (mk1 s3 can run 330) but will they consider torsen or will it not fit? What will it make post remap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I'd say 60:40 either side of the fence for the two (I'm sure that Porsche don't complain that a lot of less than enlightened people stump up the readies, for whatever reason, Audi even less so ). Even the Honda S2K attracts it's fair share and in it's own way it is less attractive to certain types and way more 'ardcore than other rivals. On a more dull, sensible note, will be interesting to see if Audi can get those horses out of a five without rampant fuel consumption. Also, doesn't leave that much room for enhancement.

Scotty Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Torsen is only for longitudinal engines and the TT engine bay is not long enough for that (I think). [/ QUOTE ] As some may recall I used to have an inside line with Audi a couple of years ago for the TT Owners Club. It was probably 2-3 years before the current model came out when we were discussing whether it could be aluminum/steel etc and the comment was that the engine bay was going to be big enough for the RS4 engine. At the time I believe this meant the 2.7 V6 turbo. That implies it's big enough and also could go longitudinal. The comment was also made that Audi had no intention of ever using it ... but is was there in case they needed to. Whether this got designed out or is still an option I don't know. I honestly can't see anything other than the 2.5L tubro engine and although the mags are saying 350bhp I'd suggest something up to 320 on the basis that it would impact too much on the larger cars i.e. the new RS4. I'd still expect to see 4.5-5.0 performance though so it will be a flyer for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Oh, well I obviously cut hair - TTR is great. Boxster seats are too narrow in the bag and SLK/Z4 just look too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I wonder how many people bought a 3.2, have ordered a TTS and then will have a TTRS? Great for Audi that they stagger launches - sell more cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark88 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 You can barely tell any difference between the TT, TT-Sline, TT-S and now TT-RS...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Funny you should say this as I currently have a A3 3.2, am due to take delivery of my TTS in late July or early August and have put my name down on the waiting list for a TTRS...
