Tony Middlehurst writing on Pistonheads has posted an interesting in-depth article on the Audi TTS.
“The Type FV/8S made its debut at the 2014 Geneva show and was built around the VW Group’s new, aluminium-rich MQB platform which brought real benefits in lightness, strength and rigidity (23 percent up on the gen-two), which was all good news for the most powerful and heaviest model in the gen-two range, the 3.2-litre V6. Well, it would have been if Audi had continued with that engine in the gen-three TT, but they didn’t. Instead they binned the heavy old 3.2 and used their turbocharged inline 2.5 five-pot to power the new TT’s halo model, the 2016 394hp RS, the only new TT not to have a 2.0 TFSI four.
They came with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, with the more powerful 2.0-litre petrols (and the 2.0-litre diesel) offering a choice of quattro or front-wheel drive, and the lower-powered ones managing with FWD. Because this is PistonHeads (where speed matters) we’re going to concentrate on the TTS which had the Mk 7 Golf R’s high-performance version of the EA888 2.0 TFSI petrol motor.”
