A) that white TT pictured in the original post is not the RS, it's just a 3.2 V6 with the S-Line wheels and body additions.
|
Exactly as I suspected.

TSI makes sense rather than biturbo 4-cyl. Or some sort of TSFSI perhaps?

B) the TT-S (not RS) will have a 2.0T engine which will put out a solid 302hp. The 2.0T will be a single turbo, highly tuned likely with double intercooling as the older 1.8T TTs came with.....i know, because a good friend of mine already ordered his  Autocar is just idiotic for predicting a "bi turbo"....quite funny.
the RS is gonna greatly exceed these numbers, IF it really does get a green light (which it probably will.....). think more along 350hp...

from rs6.com - may be the TT Quattro Sport, but not TTRS
OK i have take a closer look at the pictures in photoshop.
And i have to say there is more to it, Autocar have hooked up something.
It look like a S-line body kit on the car, but with some small changes.
If you put the TT front view picture in photoshop and make it lighter you will see that there is a honeycomb structure in the side vents.
The S-line pics till now have bars in them.
Futher there are big brake's on the car compare to other TT picture's with the RS4 19" on.
Herr Dr Martin Winterkorn (CEO Audi AG) have test drive a TT with a 300+ hp 3.6 liter FSI VR6 engine in it recently.
Maybe this is the car with that engine in it, departing from the licence plate with ND.
ND = Neuburg-schrobenhausen (Neuburg a. d. Donau) all with in a few kilometers of Ingolstad.
I think this is the TTS 3.6 Quattro with 300+ hp and it can debut on the LA motorshow December 2006 or Detroit motorshow January 2007.

Audi scraps plans to make the TT RS

But according to this new report, the recently-introduced Audi's TT S-Line package will be the sportiest version of the car offered for the foreseeable future.

They should put the S4s V8 in the back of the new TT. That would be fun.

Whilst we're on the subject of the new TT, it finally arrived last saturday in the Swiss show room. I went to check it out, and it looks quite nice in person. A more agressive front, but I think I might like the old rear a bit more.
The interior however in my opinion has been improved. The transmission tunnel looks and feels better, definitely nicer materials there (I never understood why there was some kind of hard plastic cover on the old one... brought down the rest of the experience IMO). The standard interior with a rubber surface on some parts is so-so, but with the updated leather package, all those parts feel muuuuuuch better with some good feeling real leather in place.
I sould go test drive it sometime.
