I haven't seen any specifics on the TTS (has anybody?) so I've been trying to determine it's weight.

I've become obsessed with weight (perhaps it's my continuing gluttony) and the increasing mass of ALL automobiles; with the exclusion of the new TT.

From what I've read the 2.0T lost 200lbs and the 3.2 lost 300lbs (over the previous gen).

In trying to determine the weight of the TTS I looked at UK Audi for the A3/S3 weight difference.

The S3 Quattro is approx 200lbs more than the A3 (2.0T) S-tronic (hate that name).

This seems reasonable and leads me to the conclusion that the TTS will weigh 200lbs more than the 2.0T.

Where I have a problem is that would make the TTS (quattro) weigh exactly the same as the 3.2. In simplistic terms I've always assumed that a 4cyl would weigh less than a 6cyl.

The TT 3.2 seems to weight too little...
Does the 3.2 engine weigh the same as the 2.0T engine?

Did they (Audi) do something else to the 3.2 chassis to lose an additional 100lbs (over the 2.0T weight loss). If they did, perhaps they will do the same magic to the TTS and it's weight gain will not be the equivalent as the A3/S3 difference.

i don't know about lbs weights.
But it will probably weigh between 1370 and 1395 Kg.
Depending on S-Tronic yes or no.

One: The 3.2 does not have turbo related hardware and if I remember the engine has more parts made of aluminum.

Two: Audi might of gotten rid of some of the steel in the rear, no need since the Haldex is in place. So there is not a requirement to add weight to help with the weight distribution.

Hopefully they keep the weight to a minimum with the TTS to ensure that it will be a rocket!

270hp with weight of 2900lbs would be awesome! Plus after chip, exhaust, and fuel pump that number would easily be around 330hp!

I would hope the TT-S will come with quattro standard, or I will forget the TT-S and go back to looking at the A5 or waiting for 2009 S4 with 330 hp V6 biturbo and quattro...
