5 Cyl is back?

[robert_n]

I came accross this on the TT wikipedia page:

A higher-end TT-RS is under development, it is confirmed that this will use a turbocharged 2.5L 5-cylinder engine, that will develop 340 PS (250 kW; 335 bhp). The TT-RS will also feature quattro four wheel drive, and come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Does anyone have any more information on this I hadn't heard of it before.

Sounds awesome to me as I like the current TT style.

oops should maybe have googled it first haha.

Im not a huge fan of the TT but the TT-RS look really nice, made all the better for having a 5 pot

And it will come with Compressor and turbo setup!!!!
May be we can use some part's one our car to have a compressor /turbo steup

I have also heard that the heads on the RS6 5.0 V10 are the same as on the 2.5 I5 in the TT-RS

How many valves per cylinder on that thing - 4 or 5 ?

5 valve would be cool - especially if it bolts onto S2 block - pretty expensive upgrade but its a notion !!!!!!

no chance fit on a s2 block, the engine is a vr6 with one less cylinder which means its got a staggered arrangement, its something of a half cast neither a v nor a straight

i herad about this a while back in autoexpress, is pretty nice a turbo 5pot audi. but is the awd system in the tt not a bit a let down comparison to the permeant system in s2's ete with longitudinal setup

Awww ****** - its a VR5 lump with a blower then... Scratch that idea - should have figured it would have to be transverse mounted. Side saddle deployment - one for the ladies then (and anymore hairdressers). Rats.

[robert_n]

I read somewhere it is based on this engine.



Which is an inline 5 (a hideous looking one though) but transverse (why is that bad?).

[Heat Seeking Missile]

I read somewhere that it was one bank of a Lamborghini Gallardo/Audi RS6/New S8 engine. I think it was on here.

Would make sense for it to be a VR5 or a V5, just for packaging. And being transverse likely means it will be a faggot haldex system

Oh well. Almost a cool car...

I think you'll find it's a straight 5, and it's loosely based o the straight 5 from the US spec Jetta

[goodall]

is it not a vr5
that would be quite sweet if vw actually had two 5 cylinder engines still.

hum ideas, of getting a more modern jetta straight 5 and bolt on some of the wealth of cheap-ish american performance parts.
