Tt Rs...

Too bad the intake spacing is most likely not the same Looks like a nice mani!

engine weight is 183 kg (49 cm lenght)

Phwoar. This engine is going to be a stunner! Hopefully they'll make a longitudinal version and team it up with a Torsen equipped drivetrain - that way it can go in a proper car!

I have the feeling this engine could be as legendary as the 1.8T although unfortunately it's going to be more of a "premium" engine so unfortunately it will never gain the same popularity or dedicated following.

Couple of things... I hardly think the 1.8T has 'legendary' status in the big scheme of things - popular and easily tunable perhaps - but our 20V I5 engine is the true legend !

Am I the only person who reads 'Tifosi' everytime I see a "TFSI" badge ?

[driftin jo]

I'm with paul on this one, the 1.8T motor has never done it for me,not only that but I'm seen a few and heard of many that have gone wrong with not many miles on them, unlike the old "Bombproof" I5 .

[Error404]

180kg is not any lighter thn our pig iron block 20vt engines? How is that right?

nice carbon goodies though

The RS5 is apparently out this autumn with the TT V10 out of the RS6

[shark_90]

I also thought that Audi had dropped TFSi in favour of TSi badging now (despite it being nothing to do with the TSi Turbo/Supercharger engine such as the 1.4 170bhp as used in the Golf GT).

was thinking the same, when i think alloy 4 pots i think 100-130kg, so you would expect alloy 5 be about 20% more so 120-160kg, hopefully more around the lower side there

hum twin turbo v10, i think i will buy one those someday

I'm not impressed @ all
25 HP more than the 15 year old RS2 with a 300 cc bigger engine... that's poor, even if its spools before 3000 rpm.
IIRC apparently the I5 block comes from the american Golf rabbit and if it fits in a Golf V it should fit in a TT.

take this back

450 nm @ 1600 rpm thats mighty impressive

But then, Audi claimed the 3B made 309 Nm @ 1950 RPM.

I'm off to the Geneva motor show next week and apparently a TT RS will be there

Rest assured i'll be taking some close up pictures

Nice figures. But in my opinion, the TT is not the right car for bringing back the I5 turbo. I don't like TT

[urquattro-island]

and

They need to re-create the legends because they're not exactly supporting the old ones. I hardly think that a TT is a suitable replacement for the quattro but hey, I'm not some 'head up my **** marketing type'

Looks like it understeers like an Audi at least.

the real shame is that the tt isnt really, a real quattro even, its haldex and golf underbody

[Prophet_dlx]

New TT has nothing or at least not much in common with the Golf
