2008 or 2009 Audi TT... RS... plans get scrapped, info pg.2

[vexor]

Audi is planning a high-performance version of the 2007 Audi TT Coupe, tentatively called the TT RS, reports Germany’s Auto Zeitung magazine. The car will get a naturally aspirated V6 with over 300 horsepower, according to the report. The engine will likely have increased displacement of 3.6 liters, up from the current 3.2 liter range-topper. The RS model would get larger wheels, performance brakes, RS4-style racing seats, widened fender flares, and a new front fascia with honeycomb mesh intakes. The car would either be a 2008 or 2009 model.

[BlitzR]

I thinking how they were going to name the RS version of the TT a couple of days ago. Either the RS TT or the TT RS. Now i know.

Nice picture but I'd love to see one in black with some xenon headlamps

Wow, that looks sinister. I really like it.

I was one of the people that said the new shape TT was a well but without the BMW logo, this on the other hand is the best TT ever and mayby it will be a bit fast not like the standared TT

** BUMP **

Caught testing in Germany, this white prototype looks similar to the test hacks originally spied in Finnish cold-weather testing late last year. But under the skin, this machine features a more performance-focused package.

Details are still relatively scarce about the RS - but it is tipped to use a new twin-turbocharged version of the ubiquitous two-litre TSFI four-cylinder engine. No details on power output yet, but given that single-blower version of that unit already produce 250bhp, it's safe to expect a figure around, or in excess of, 300bhp. That will put the car at least 50bhp above the current range-topper, the 3.2-litre V6 model. The twin-turbo engine is likely to be mated to six-speed manual and S-tronic transmissions.

The TT RS is expected to break cover officially before the end of this year. It will be eagerly awaited by performance enthusiasts - unlike the original car, the new model has good enough driving dynamics to cope with the extra grunt.

It would be awesome if TT could stand for Twin Turbo.

[SL65]

Its cool but not as brutally hardcore as an Audi-RS should be The photoshop earlier in this thread is more like it, IMO.

It would! But is this source correct? They say "twin turbo" but being Audi, I would have expected "bi turbo". They are the same, but different to each other.

All that infos bullshit.

Theres not gonna be a twin turbo 2.0 4pot, and the TT picture is more likely to be the TT sport quattro, or the TT-S.

The RS version of the TT will be called the TT-R.

if the highest version (whatever it'll be called) lost some weight, id consider it. It does definately look the part, that greenish color suits it quite well.

With the aluminum space frame the car's already decently light, I think the regular front drive 2.0T is somewhere between 2800-2900 pounds, so I would expect the TTRS with 2.0TT and Quattro to be around 3100 pounds.

yea you're right, its mostly the AWD system that adds weight. The last TT 3.2 quattro weighed over 3400 lbs!
I wonder what the pricing will be, i feel like it may potentially move into Cayman/Z4M territory.
