A bit of car news for you petrol heads...







Audi TT






Audi is going to extremes with its TT range in the coming years. We can fully expect a TT RS in the next 18 months, punching out around 320bhp from a tuned version of the existing V6 engine. The TT RS will use the dual-shift gearbox (DSG) and have four-wheel drive as standard. Audi engineers won't say much more on the topic, but they have given the nod that the RS will crack 0-62mph in under five seconds. The RS will use the same bodyshell as the new TT, but with further lightening of materials to reduce weight and improve performance. At the other end of the scale, the same Audi engineers say a diesel-powered TT is more than likely in the next two years. The engine will be from the new Bluetec range jointly developed with Mercedes and is set to have 'at least 170bhp, if not more'. It's also likely to come with a DSG gearbox to make the most of mid-range torque that should be in the region of 280lb ft. Closer to the here and now, we can look forward to Audi taking the wraps off the A5 coupe at the Geneva motor show in March.



Heck.. the most modest of roadsters nowadays pack about 200hp of punch.... really makes me think about how long more ill be venturing into this world of making a 15 year old car new.... might as well save up adn get something with just as much power, and hopefulyl a convertible roof...hahaha....


Dougie signing out....

What window so expensive? You can get the blardy GTXx driver door at that price which comes with brown tint window, 4 door power window controller, door fabric trimming and also the door lining :)
