So what if the hottest engine in the next generation TT made...
 

...<font color="003366"> 350HP, was offered only with a 6-speed manual and displaced 2.5L. Would you be interested if it's sticker price was <u>into</u> the $50,000 range?

What if it didn't have six cylinders?

Or four for that matter.</font>

John Primer would be all over it =^)
 

but only if it has 5 cylinders.

You know me, no DSG, I mean S-Tronic, then it's not for me.

Sign me up! Would it be available at launch or shortly thereafter?

Five, eh? Reminds me of my old Audi 5000...
 

Too bad *that* particular car was a POS. ;)

But hell yeah! That's the HP that the TT has needed and another $10+K from the factory is cheaper than modding it to that level, plus warrantied. :)

RS Performance and lightweight!! Where's the order guide!?! I'm in (for TT #4)

I've been waiting for the 5 cyl from the Jetta to make it's way into an Audi
 

A new 5 cyl fsi turbo would be nice.

Have I mentioned lately how much I really love the mk2 TT?

Absolutely! Don't take me too close to $60K, though...
 

That opens my wallet up to some serious alternatives in the market.

HA!
 

you funny man. 8^0

Would be a very wise an excellent move IMHO
 

agree with Raw - don't make it closer to $60k as this opens up much more territory.. Man I can't wait to see what comes out next year :)

Perhaps turbo-I5 == beer goggles? ;)

Sign me up. I'll own an MKII TT, it's just a matter...
 

... of when the hot engines start showing up.

Re: Perhaps turbo-I5 == beer goggles? ;)
 

The best dicision Audi could make engine wise:
A TT 2.5 litre FSI K04 turbo 5 cylinder engine 350 hp.

Hans.

LMAO!!!! Sucker!

Exactly!

YES... PLEASE YES!!! Don't be pulling our chain! YOU BETTER BE SERIOUS!!!

not at that sticker.. I'd never be able to afford one :-\

i live in LA and would prefer DSG

absolutely
 

the first Audi in my family was a 5 cylinder so the concept is dear to my heart, and with the numbers you are suggesting this would be a phenomenal machine. Powerful, light, efficient and smooth...

although I was hoping we would see the option of a 7-speed s-tronic in the top end TT.

Any chance of new technology enabling haldex to be 60% rear biased on the hottest model?

The A6 would be history

? What would a 350/5 be called?
 

Is this change to existing line-up? (TTR 302hp FSI VR6) or addition? Hopefully a change!!! Hopefully this is 2 years away (1 year after U.S. launch!).

Hmmm I see a 2009, 350hp, 5 cylinder, 2.5 FSI, TTR, 6 speed, Quattro in Avus Silver with Red Interior in my future!!! ;)

Re: ? What would a 350/5 be called?
 

Depents on the line-up below it.
If the 260 hp 2.0T FSI comes as a 2.0 Quattro 191 kW and the 302 hp VR6 FSI comes as a 3.2/3.6 ??? FSI Quattro than the 2.5T FSI will probably called TTS and if the 2.0T 191 kW or 3.2/3.6 FSI will be called TTS than it can be called TT RS.
It is also possible that the 260 hp 2.0T will be called TT QS = "Quattro Sport" and the 302 hp TTS.

Hans.

Iceman... there will NOT be a RS version of the TT, but a TT-R instead.

Re: Iceman... there will NOT be a RS version of the TT, but a TTR instead.
 

TTR = TT Roadster.

Hans.

Why would a 350hp be an S and a 302hp be the RS?

WRONG!... not according to Mr. 4#'s and he's in the know as you clearly are far from.

John... this is Iceman... he fishes around the net and claims he has a inside source...
 

...when in fact he has nothing but a bunch of assumptions. The UK guys and the RS6.com guys listen to him... but in reality he just recycles info and claims it as his own. Sad.

Iceman... go back to the U.K. forum and feed them your B.S. there.

I'm sure you are aware that the TTR moniker has...
 

...<font color="003366"> <i>never</i> been used by AAG to identify the roadster variant of the production TT.

Just a reminder since, as I mentioned, I am sure you are aware of this.</font>

The project was only green-lighted in late-May, it is still way too early for...
 

...<font color="003366"> a name to be locked-in. Any name. The car is still a ways off from entering production.

The guys in VM are knocking around quite a few ideas, some hyper-interesting, other as lame as any I've ever heard come from Ingolstadt. Or Santa'Agata, for that matter.</font>

Not available at launch or anything close to what a reasonble person...
 

...<font color="003366"> could consider "shortly thereafter."

We're talking more than 24 months from <u>now</u> as things are currently planned.</font>

Re: Iceman... go back to the U.K. forum and feed them your B.S. there.
 

...<font color="003366"> Hey, play nice!</font>

Steve, the hottest stuff is more than a year off.

For the REALLY hot engine you'll have...
 

...<font color="003366"> a few summers more to wait.

If you live in the United States or Canada, that is.</font>

Sorry, no DQ 7-speed S-Tronics in the...
 

...<font color="003366"> powertrain plan, so transverse arrangements aren't in the works.

DQ= Transverse S-Tronic
DL= Longitudinal S-Tronic</font>

sorry... I just remember the day...
 

When I was in the U.K TT and RS6.com forums and he was claiming to have a designer sketch of the Mk2 TT (about 9 months ago, give or take). I called him out on it! As all he did was flip out a A3 sportback designer sketch and photoshop it to a coupe. People actually believed him. To this day people at these forums actually believe he has a inside source!

Jim, roger that.. still very exciting info though
 

gives me plenty of time to save up :)

At least 2... hmmm 3? couldn't be 4?... summers that is.

thank you kind sir
 

I'm sometimes more intrigued by what you don't answer than what you do.

Rear wheel bias?

You are a clever fellow...
