Audi TT Quattro Sport
Audi will release a more sporty and hardcore version of the Audi TT called the Audi TT Quattro Sport. As its name implies, it'll come with the permanent all-wheel drive Quattro system. In addition, the engine has been modified to squeeze more power out of it. And most importantly, the TT Sport only weighs 3064 lbs, which is 166 lbs less than the standard TT.
The Audi TT Quattro Sport uses the turbocharged 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with power output increased from 225 hp to 240 hp @ 5700 rpm and torque increased from 207 lb-ft to 236 lb-ft @ 2300 - 5000 rpm.
The acceleration time for 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is 5.9 seconds for the TT Sport. The US spec TT 1.8L turbo runs 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds, so a bit longer for 0-62 mph. However, in the US we also get the 3.2L V6 engine option, which produces 250 hp and runs 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. But none of these variations is as light as the Audi TT Quattro Sport, meaning the TT Sport will no doubt handle and brake better than the other TT models. It'll be a more tossable car, and it'll definately lap the other TTs on a track.
