Audi TTS has arrived

[smurfsvt]

I was walking through the shop today and saw them doing a PDI on a new TTS. I know a few people had been wanting to know when they showed up, so I thought I'd say something.



This is at Audi Stevens Creek, BTW.

What motor is in that bootch?

If I remember correctly, it's the 2.0T with a different turbo. The tech said it was pretty nice, and a noticable difference from most of the 2.0's.

actually it should be 5cyl, 2.2 turbo, like old school engines :) very fast too

An inline 5T in the TT would be nice, but I wouldn't mind what's in the new TT-S either. I was just going to text Joe Q about this to see if any had arrived yet. So thanks for the update. I'll be by sometime this week...

it's a 4cyl 2.oL
if I remember correctly it stated 265 hp

yeah, TTS IS in fact 4cyl 2.0, i was thinking about TT-RS, rumored to have I5T, but here what i found on Edmunds.com
"What We Know: Caught testing on the Nurburgring test track, the top-of-the-line TT wears several telltale design elements that identify it as a high-performance RS model. Up front, the TT-RS has the same metallic trim across the grille as the TTS, but closer inspection reveals large air intakes at each corner in place of foglights. Other styling differences include seven-spoke wheels and a pair of oval tailpipes, a signature RS design cue. It's hard to peg which engine will provide the power for the TT-RS at this point. Early rumors suggested a turbocharged five-cylinder, but the recent introduction of Audi's new 3.0-liter TFSI V6 suggests otherwise. The new supercharged motor is expected to develop roughly 300 horsepower in U.S. trim, a number that would put the TT-RS a solid notch above the TTS with its turbocharged 265-hp inline-4. Expect one of Audi's S tronic dual-clutch gearboxes with either six gears or possibly even seven. Like all RS models, the TT version will also get a retuned suspension, larger wheels and tires and upgraded brakes. Minor interior upgrades will be part of the package as well. Given the lack of camouflage on this test mule, expect a public introduction in the next few months, with U.S sales starting by early next year."

OOo...need some pics....I think the TT-S is much better value than the upcoming RS.
