TTS spotted

Maybe they are entirely the same, but it would be so easy for Audi to produce a map that generated 7ps more so why not have the figures to support the marketing?

It's funny that manufacturers have to play this game with power as the general public don't yet understand how much weight plays a part - they only look at headline bhp. Audi used this to the extreme with the RS6 IMO.

Exactly the same things they did for the S3 engine.

The intake and exhaust systems have undergone elaborate honing to allow the refined four-cylinder engine to both breathe freely and generate a powerful, resonant soundtrack. An optimized and highly efficient intercooler lowers the temperature of the compressed air, producing a crucial increase in the quantity of air supplied for combustion.

As to whether the "engine it was derived from" is the S3 engine or the 'cooking' 2.0TFSi, I don't know for sure.

That reads almost word-for-word what they said about the S3 engine over the 2.0T

Your first reply reads word-for-word what your second reply says...

Is this the first RHD one then?

Must be an Audi Exclusive paint job!
