Color not my taste, but wheels are cool.
The side mirrors are a bit bulky for such a sexy little thing.

Wow! Very nice Gulf find!

[Leadfoot]

Is this a new race series that Audi are running?

[Charles DLF]

looks more like a tuners car... I doubt audi would send out a car with that wing (not even mensioning the color combo [which is nice BTW])

[Iceman]

This car have the "VOTEX" body kit on.
Further there are signs that the new Audi TT QS can be a 240 hp fwd car with RS4 style seats and without a rear seat.

The car looks quite funky :) but would Audi do a FWD sport and not quattro?


Where were these pics taken? I think it looks like Audi factory and exactly where I have seen the first RS6 with my own eyes in 02 and fell in love :)

They (first bunch) were taken by an Audiworld member in Ingolstadt. The TT is right in front of the HQ building, next to the Audi Forum Ingostadt.

Well, I actually like the body-work here...but the colour scheme?!?! What are they trying to plagiarise....vintage Carrera RS or GT40? Completely f-d up, if you ask me....

:rotflmao:

[Leadfoot]

Are these not the same rims that are going on the new S5.

[steffenr]

Is that a suzuka grey TT i spot in the background:love:


Is it a reflex or something they have fittet to the lower bumper?

No, they are R8 wheels.

I'm afraid not - the guy who took the pics calls it eggshell white. It reminds me of a colour that was available on the first A8 - it had a pearl touch.

Here are some more pics:

There are engine Scenario rumour's about that Gulf colored TT QS.
The story is that this TT sounds very different compare to the 2 existing TT's.
The question is, thus it sound different because it's having a highly tuned 280 hp 2.0T, because it's having a 3.6 FSI VR6, or because there is a 320 hp 2.5 litre five cylinder engine under the bonnet.

Hans.

[JavierNuvolari]

... or because there is a 320 hp 2.5 litre five cylinder engine under the bonnet.

Hans.

wouldn't that be nice:incar:

[ültje1]

i would prefer the 3.6 FSI VR6 :dig:

cya

www.alex-poellinger.de

[Leadfoot]

You all know my preferred choice, 2.5L in the front and the same in the back.:jlol: SWEET.

No seriously, it most likely the 3.6FSi unless it sounds totally different and than it must be the 2.5L. If it was a mule with the S3 engine they would have used the same exhaust system and even with the standard V6 TT rear pipes the engine noise would recognizable to most clued up people, same goes for the 3.6FSi unless it's increased capacity has changed it's note.

[Iceman]

I still hope for the return of the 5 cylinder turbo engine.
They can use 3 options:

1) 2.5 litre FSI K03 turbo ± 280 hp.
2) 2.5 litre FSI K04 turbo ± 325 hp
3) 2.5 litre FSI Twincharger ± 365 hp.

Hans.

Any of the above would be fine, just look at the times the S3 is posting when compared to the TTv6, both have similar power to weight but the extra torque of the S3 engine is shown it metal, a full 1.5s quicker to 100mph. Just think what even a 280 version of the above would do for the TT, sub 13s to 100mph would be well and truly on the cards.

Mind you one of the other choices would be even better.:D

Nice colour in the pictures, but hopefully it's a little nicer than the old A8 white

[Leadfoot]

Is this white any different than the standard colour offered by Audi as it looks great.

[Iceman]

It's not white, it's "Suzyka Grey".

Hans.

[Leadfoot]

Hans,

Any more word on the engine? I'm a bit disappointed that the higher performance version of the TT has went cold.

[Iceman]

Leadie,

Like you say, the higher performance version of the TT has went cold.
It's not clear what or when it will be.
A the moment it look like there will be a TT 3.6 Quattro (IAA Frankfurt 2007) and a TT Quattro Sport.
But the TT QS can also become a optional "Sport Pack".
The "Sport Pack" option can include RS Recaro's, a torsie bar with cargo net in the back and 19" wheels.

Hans.

[roadrunner]

According to George from fourtitude.com the Gulf TT belongs to Micheal Dick, Audi AG Board Member for Technical Development.

This explaines the uniqness of this TT. :ttaddict:

No, still unknown.
The car have a dual exhaust (right and left), but no Quattro logo's.

Surely a quicker look under to rear of the car will determine whether it's a quattro or not.:D

[RXBG]

it is audi board member's Michael Dick's car. it is basically a quattro sport 1.8 L 260hp engined car.

[Iceman]

it is audi board member's Michael Dick's car. it is basically a quattro sport 1.8 L 260hp engined car.
In that case it will be a 2.0 litre engine with 260 hp not a 1.8.

Hans.

[RXBG]

i read 1.8 in the interview.

[Iceman]

i read 1.8 in the interview.
That would mean that there is a new 1.8T FSI engine under the hood with 260 hp.
Normaly the new 1.8T FSI have 170 hp, that is a power hike of 90 hp.

Hans.

[Leadfoot]

Is there any possibility that this 1.8 is a large capacity version of the 1.4TSi instead of the new 1.8TFSi that has just entered the Audi range. The power would match the capacity or there abouts like lets face it, the small 1.4TSi engine is easily capable of producing 200+hp but is stop because of the GTi's 2.0TFSi (200HP), so what's to stop Audi testing such an engine and taking it closer to it's true potential.

I reckon it would be a great idea.

[Iceman]

i'm still waithing for this engine to be put in the TT. :jlol:

OK, i reed the interview and it's a old 1.8T with 260 hp 400 Nm of torque.

Guys it's a choice of two engines and both are turboed.;)

[Leadfoot]

Think about it, how many engines do you know that produce more ft/lbs of torque more than it does of hp. If it isn't blown it ain't going to happen.

I still think the engine Qisha is talking about is a 2.0TFSi but I would be even happier to be wrong and see a 2.5TFSi instead.

[Iceman]

Guys it's a choice of two engines and both are turboed.;)
Yes i know that, but we are talking about the engine in michael Dick's car.
There is a 3.2 VR6 engine under the bonnet.
My question is how get they 300 hp / 440 Nm out of a 3.2 VR6. ?
btw, 300 hp / 440 Nm are numbers of a R4 2.0T FSI engine, nothing more noting less.

Sorry I didn't realise it was Dick's car that Qisha was talking about. The 300hp/400Nm is supposed to be the engine that goes into the TT/S leaving the way clear for a TT/RS with the 5cylinder engine.

By the way, the talk is that the soon to be launched TT/S has lapped the ring in 8:14something, not bad.

[Iceman]

If the engine of the "TT Clubsport Quattro" go into production, it will go into the "TT Quattro Sport" (TT QS) IMHO.

The TTS (2008/2009) will be the top of the Range and there will not be a TT RS. (Car Media Fantacy)

Hans.

So you believe that Audi will bring out the Quattro Sport version out now unlike the swan song that the last version was. I am getting a little confused with the TT line-up, just how many engine choices will they have and where will they all fit in the line-up.

At present there is two the fwd 2.0TFSi and the awd 3.2V6 but we know there is to be a 1.8TFSi and a 2.0TDi, add to this a 2.0TFSi with 300hp and a 2.5TFSi and the line-up does start to look a little busy don't you think.

The TT/RS is just a name Audi might/will not use it though the spirit of that model is coming in the form of a 2.5TFSi that is for sure.

[Iceman]

The info i have: every thing is still open in the long run.
There are not yet made any final dicisions for sure like:

1) will we go on with the use of VR6 engines yes or no.
2) will the R4 1.8T FSI replace the basic R4 2.0T FSI or will it be a add on, or not used at all.
3) In what model will we use a R4 265-300 hp 2.0T FSI.
4) Are we using the R5 2.5T FSI 300+ hp engine.
5) are we start using Diesel engine's yes or no in the TT and with 4 and/or 5 cylinders (VR6 Diesel is dead)

The question is what will Audi cross off/out agains each other engine wise.
You can end up with 3-5 engine for the TT.

Hans.

[Leadfoot]

I think the diesel is a sure thing and the very engine has been seen in the Q3 concept.

I like the idea of the Quattro-Sport TT with it's 60/40 split. Does anyone know if this is a fixed torque split or is there still some transfer available between the two axles?

[Iceman]

So long they use Haldex there will not be a 60-40 fixed power split.

Hans.

Then you should remind Qisha.;)

[Iceman]

Then you should remind Qisha.;)
Yes i've reed that but based on what.
All transeverse mounted engines use Haldex.
Haldex can't give the rearwheels more then 50% of the power.
The only way to get 60-40 is to replace all diffs with a "Multi plate clutch" in that case you can get 100% of the power on any wheel you like.

Well I very much doubt Audi will replace the Haldex system as this would cost a fortune. But is it not possible to lock the Haldex system to a 60/40 split and if so what if any would be the benefit?

[SigmaS6]

Not sure if thread-links are welcome over here. Anyway, the first TTS-specs from Audi have appeared:

http://rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?p=96300#post96300

[PeterJohn]

Haldex is a master-slave principle, where the back feeds of the front axle. That means that it can only distribute between 100/0 (not enganged), 50/50 (fully engaged).

Haldex still has to perform a certain differential function, so the axles can rotate at different speeds in a corner. Fully engaged, it would be as if it has no differential at all. And would result in massive understeer, as the rear pushes the front along. 60/40 is cutting it close, and I see no reference to it in the official press release.

Haldex is a speed sensing differential instead of a torque sensing. That means it's active, instead of pro active. It reacts to, instead of preventing the loss of grip. With a 60/40 split, the initiation of every medium to sharp corner would be met with understeer untill the computer sends the message to the Haldex clutch to balance the power ratio. That's what it already does now, but with only a difference of 20%, it can't send a lot more power to the rear.

In conclusion, I doubt that VAG will start tuning the Haldex 4WD system this way.

[bober3]

the color suck i like more the gray one
