    Update.
    These pictures are from 17 Oktober 2012. (10 days ago)
    Meaning they still testing with the old body on the MQB floorplan, meaning the new TT is at leased 1 year or more away from introduction.

    I have thinking about a way for Audi to improve the next TT and one of the things that would help the weight balance is to go the Lexus LFA way with the water coolers in the back.
    That way you take a lot of weight out the front and separate the water and turbo air cooling from each other.
    In this case you can install a full intercooler up front and two water cooler in the rear, left and right.
    Further there would be less heat in the engine bay coming from the watercooler, it also give space for a much better airflow to the brakes.
    And by putting the coolers in the back left and right, the exhaust tips can move further to the middle like it should be, TT Mk1 retro style.
    Audi need to separate the next TT more from the other MQB siblings performance wise IMHO.
    Another advantage with this is that the TT could look more in line with the R8 because of the need for side and rear vents to accommodate air flow to the water coolers.

    The only issue is Lexus wasn't concerned with luggage space whereas the typical TT buyer wants at least some...

    Can't see this happening in the TT price class either. Adds overall weight as well.
