How on earth would VW else claim it to go from 0-62 mph between 5.0 and 5.5 when you know that the S3 does it in 5.7 seconds
I did not say it would not be lighter than the S3. The S3 is loaded with kit and has alot of other things making it much heavier for example than the 2.0T quattro. Also the tested figures are different to the quoted. Also It may use the TTS engine spec rather than the S3 one so 272PS and the arodynamics play a part as the TTS specs shows quote from audi
"And, with the optional S tronic transmission, you can accelerate from rest to 62mph in just 5.2 seconds in the TTS quattro Coupé, and in 5.4 seconds in the TTS quattro Roadster, before reaching a top speed of 155mph (electronically limited)."
Also were does VW claim it will do those figures they have not even said it exists! They are simply Jounos guessing!
