TTS spotted

As far as I know this picture - taken somewhere in France - is the first decent one of a TTS spotted 'in the wild'. It was posted on another forum:

Yep.. nice.. like it.

Just remind me.. what bhp are these putting out?

Cuprabob · 14-04-2008, 10:49 AM

272bhp IIRC

Dave · 14-04-2008, 10:50 AM

Ok, shame it's not 300!

J_C · 14-04-2008, 12:09 PM

Yep, 272hp and peak torque of 350Nm (258 lb/ft) available between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm.

The manual Coupe weighs just 1395kg which equates to a power-to-weight ratio of 5.1 kg/hp!

I would imagine outputs well in excess of 300hp once the tuners start developing remaps for it.

Come on don't quote weight to power - invert it! What I can't work out is why the TTS only weighs 15kg less than the 3.2 with its six cylinders.

Sorry

198hp/ton if my quick calculation is correct.

Its gonna fly. That's pretty much the same as my B6 S4 Avant and that's plenty fast enough for me.

Remap? It'll be around the 310 mark then.
