Funny you should ask.  Just last night was reading my _AutoWeek_
Magazine (3/11/96).  The cover story is on the TT/TTS.

They report:

Production is scheduled to begin July, 1998.  Prices will start at about 
$35K.

The TT will come with a 1.8L turbocharged 4, putting out 150bhp. 
It will be capable of 0-60 MPH in just under 8 sec. and have a top speed of 
	about 140 MPH.

The TTS will add an intercooler for 210bhp and will hit 60MPH in ~6 sec.
	on its way to top speed of about 150.

The complete story is on pp. 30-31.

Believe as much as you want.
