RE: STT in EC



A TTS is probable, but at this point it is all theory. The picture is not a
pic of the car but a doctored press photo of a TT coupe. It and others can
be found at Automedia.com

As for the TTS, it is possible. Rumor is that VW/Audi is playing with turbos
in a big way for future offerings. We have been hearing rumors as well of
3.2liter VR6 motors, and it was a turbocharged VR6 that was in Detroit's New
Beetle RSi. When the car comes out, it'll be insane. Perhaps Frankfurt in
September.,.... that'd be a guess of course.

Torque can make a big difference. I have driven both the A3 VR6 and the new
generation VR6 found in the new 4th gen A chassis. Though peak hp is about
4hp difference, it is a totally different engine with the new variable
intake system. If you want to see first hand, go to a VW dealer and test
drive a used 3rd gen GTI and then a new 4th gen GTI.
