New HP for TTS?
Hello,
As I explore options for my lease end in May 2019, I've been waiting for the build-and-price for the MY2019 on Audi.ca to go live in Canada. As of today, still no (and my browser won't let me play with the Audiusa site). However, the 2019 is posted with some "highlights" about the car. It lists the HP at 288. My MY2016 had 292. Why the drop?
Anyone?

HP is the same, it's a change in how Audi reports the HP in the North American markets now.

Starting with 2019 MY, rated horsepower will be derived from a single, global kilowatt (kW) metric, confirmed by an SAE horsepower test. All driving and performance characteristics such as fuel economy and 0-60 times remain the same as prior Model Year.

Let me just say this shouldn't concern you at all. Audi is amazing at under reporting specs. I always laugh when people question the TT's specs, because it's far and away the fastest car I've ever owned despite not nearly being the most powerful. I also get way better fuel economy than the listed spec...
