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.

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
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.

Launch control with S-tronic?
that car is going to be sweet with the S-tronic. wow. though mine would be manual.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
1460 kg for the US spec manual 3.2!
65 kg difference
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.
