    The body kit design don't suit the TT, also don't like the 2.0TFSI R4T engine.

    Cannot please everyone Let's just wait for the first tests to judge the engine.

    I have to see the front in real life - not sure about it from the pics. But il looks much better than in the spy pics.

    I don't know about the rest of you but I am very excited about the little TT/S. Any of you who have driven the normal TT2.0TFSi will know just how good a chassis Audi have given it, it is right up there with the very best fwd cars but being an Audi it's got the looks and quality that is seldom see at this price level. Add in the security of the Quattro setup and the extra power with torque and this will be a pocket rocket which only the Japanese seems to have tapped in to.

    I am interested to see how the combination of the extra power, the Magneticride suspension and the lighter/better balance weight between the axles will feel in comparison to the likes of the Z4 and Cayman. Me reckons that Audi is on to a winner and it could be the best small Audi this side of the mighty R8.

    I wonder what has caused to delay as originally the talk I hear from the dealer and else where was that the TT/S would be seen in the spring of 2008 but at least the delay will be well worth it.

    Why. ?
    You have a S5 on order right. ?
    I would not bother about the TT S at all if i had a S5 coming.
    I'm more and more dissapointed in the TT, running gear wise.

    this thing better be much lighter than the 3.2. it doesn't have that much more power. if it is considerbaly lighter it'll cost considerably more because more aluminum will have to be used.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    I wouldn't be surprised if the TTS price entered into Cayman territory.

    Yeah I have a S5 coming, should be here very soon in fact, but I am looking at it from purely handling, braking etc and not so much the actual engine. Unlike you I don't have a problem with the choice of engine as most of my experience with turbo engines have been 4cylinder units.

    Dear crespo,

    yes.

    How the launch control works:

    shift to "S-Mode", turn off "ESP", left feet on brake pedal, right feet -> slam gas pedal, release brake pedal. Equals maximum acceleration.

    By the way Magnetic Ride is standard on the TTS.

    1460 kg for the US spec manual 3.2!

    maybe it has more than 270 hp? or more torque than expected?

    So it is as expected, in other words bloody quick in acceleration for what is a small capacity coupe with a competitive price. The times are even better than I had hoped, I thought the S/Tronic version would be capable of 5.2s but 5.0s for the official figures are amazing. That leads me to believe it's even quicker than an my estimates of 0-160km/h in 12.4s, we might have a TT/S which is quicker than the Cayman S yet costs a heck of a lot less.

    The spec on this thing is amazing, racing style seat and magnetride suspension all as standard.

    I might just need to rethink that idea of an M3 after all.

    I heard that new TTS is as fast as Cayman S around Hockenheim but, still it is not match for new M3.

    BTW, my wife just said to me:"You will have your R8. I want TTS roadster!"

    Well... Her wish is my command!
