Audi TTS update.

[Iceman]

Last I heard was Detroit.

If Detroit is the place for the Audi TTS introduction i can asure you it will not have a 2.0 litre engine.
The Audi S3 will also not go state side with his high performance 2.0 TFSI engine.
Because why will Audi introduce a high performance 2.0TFSI TT in detroit whey most US states not have a suitable fuel for it.

In the past there was a 2.3 VR5 4v engine with 170 hp, but not anymore.
A rumour say that Audi reanimate the 2.3 VR5 4v engine and give it TFSI technology.
The power output will be 308 hp according to the rumour.
I have no idea if there is any true in it or not.

I am not sure how much you can do with an old engine. Doesn't sound to me like something that Audi should do.

[Iceman]

The basic engine exist and is most part developed.
Give the engine a big overhaul, develop a new FSI cylinder head for it put on a K04 S3 turbo and you have a up to date 2.3 VR5 TFSI engine with ±308 hp.
And the VR5 engine is as compact and weigh not that much more then a inline 4.
But in big lines the same go's up for a inline five, only a inline five is longer then a VR6.

I don't think this latest design of Audi's is a move in the right direction. The S-Line and the normal nose look way better, it's new look doesn't gel with the rest, it's similar in this to the IS-F.

So ugly. Did Audi swap da Silva for Bangle and forgot to send everybody the memo?

The amount of plastic used compared to metal worries me. It's a mess.

i usually leave a little faith for the "in person" appearance, but this was shocking to me also. truly. too much palstic. too much droop. it looks nasty to me. i hope it's passable in person.

Those cars are more serious driving tools then the equivalent Audis, that elevate style over substance. Now THAT is metrosexual.

Why do you come to this site to put down people? Just leave already!

Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were on the design team. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings there buddy, here's a kleenex.

i don't think anyone could ever insult a member of the audi design team and be taken seriously (perhaps with the exception of the upcoming TT-S). bmw on the other hand.....

"style over substance"-

audi epitomizes modern car design. that is style. and that is also a big part of substance. the remainder is how the car goes. though bmw makes cars that go well so does audi.

in fact, both marques appeal to metrosexuals. very much so.

nothing wrong with that, of course. homo, bi, hetero, metro, tri.... it's all the same.

The worst right now is Alfa Romeo "Belezza non Basta" Beauty is not Enough. How ironic coming from them.
