Jay,
The TT will not be produced with the 2.7 BiTurbo engine which is currently
available in the S4 and the A6. All HP levels will be obtained from
"hopped" up versions of the 1.8T. It's to bad, I just had the opportunity
to drive the S4 on I70 in Colorado. This car is so #$*@ing fast it is
unbelievable. I had it going 135 until the Eisenhower tunnel spoiled my
fun. In 6th gear there is still power to spare. Not to suggest TT needs
that engine. Both the 180hp and 225hp Quattro TT that I have driven are
MORE than adequately powered.
