Yeah!

They must have been bloody heavy in the first place then?

Is the OEM bonnet made of 8mm thick lead?

Some people

Well the stock TiTie weighs 1395KG so in order to save 25% or 348.75KG, you would have to remove a lead bonnet 1.6m wide and 2m long and 10mm thick and replace it with a 14.45Kg Carbon affair.......a tad unlikely I suspect

If only PH would allow people to post up comments about the utter ***** that people try and sell on their website.

TT sport is what they sold it as:240 horse version of the std car with a black roof and the interior binned and a firkin gorgeous set of race recaros in it(and other "weight saving" features-see below):had one in the other week: she's a hairdresser so that explains it all!!!!

Journo bumph:
The TT quattro Sport coupe is the proposed answer to the dilemma: just 1000 will be made, which means that there won't be one on every block in West London, for a start. Distinguishable from common-or-garden TT coupes with its two-tone paint scheme (black panels for the roof, pillars and mirror housings in combination with either Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Mauritius Blue or Misano Red paint) and unique 18-inch, 15-spoke alloy wheels, plus the same body kit as fitted to the TT 3.2 V6, it's also been tweaked and tuned for sports-minded drivers. Suspension settings have been revised for sharper and better-balanced cornering, V6-spec brakes fitted and the new wheels are wider at the rear for improved grip - not that the four-wheel drive quattro TTs are short on this.

The headline-grabbing changes to this TT, however, are the increase in power from the 1.8-litre turbocharged engine - now giving 240bhp and 236lb ft of torque - and the reduction in weight by 49kg to 1416kg. This has been achieved by replacing the spare wheel with what Audi euphemistically terms a "tyre mobility system" (a can of get-you-home sealant spray) and by taking out the rear parcel shelf and rear seats. The area behind the driver gains a silver-painted bracing bar to enhance rigidity - which looks the part, too - and two racing-style Recaro bucket seats fitted for the driver and front passenger.

So that amounts to what.... about 3.5%!! A little short of the original claim wouldn't you say

Not when you remember that he has replaced a 10mm thick lead bonnet with a uber lightweight helium-filled carbon fibre one
