Audi TT Quattro Sport 240
Discussion
Morning Gents (and ladies)
I've been a long time lurker on here (10 or more years) but don't tend to post much. Anyway, I'm Tom and had lots of cars in my 12 year driving career. Starting off with Clio's like the mighty Williams, to Type R's, 200sx's etc. You name it.
Anyway, this is my current car which I've had coming on a year. Not the most exciting but I do a fair amount of miles and find the 1.8T excellent on fuel at cruising speeds but also offering performance when it's needed. A little soulless but it moves.
Not many modifications as such. Just a map and some other breathing mods which have logged it at 286bhp. All other spends in my time have been getting it to top form and a new clutch/dmf to handle the power increase.
Anyway, a couple of random shots I've collected -

Hi, and welcome to the world of PH posting!
I'm not normally a fan of these cars as I think they've become hugely dated - however the (tasteful) mods you have made to the wheels and roof combine to make it look much more up to date. It looks really good, and with 286bhp on tap, I bet it goes some too.
I like the seats too. Good work!

Yes the Quattro sport is a limited run of 800. They came with a few difference to the normal. Mainly being lighter with more power as standard. Oh and Recaro Pole positions.
In a nutshell here's the differences -
1. Only 800 QS models available in the UK and they use a two tone paint scheme
2. QS comes with 18", 15 spoke alloys unique to the model, and as standard
3. No rear seats and replaced with a bar and shelf to reduce weight. Spare tyre and air-con removed and option of climate control instead, and this is also to reduce weight. A QS is 75kg lighter because of these alone.
4. Enhanced power with 240 bhp and a capped max speed of 155 mph, with 0-60 mph taking 5.7 seconds.
5. Recaro Pole Position seats
6. Quattro sport decal on glovebox, and the handbrake,gear knob and steering wheel covered in Alacantra leather
7. V6 front bumper, rear honeycomb valance and spoiler
8. Black exhaust tips
9. Uprated suspension
10. Red painted brake calipers
11. Wider rear wheels and arch spats
12. Different ratio gearbox
13. QS was the only model to be built by quattro GmbH in Germany

My thoughts exactly, these normally look a little bland, but the mods really set it off. Jandywa said:
Absolutely identical to mine 
just had to look outside and check it was still there!
Brilliant cars, they seem to be getting better looking as time goes on
Awesome. They are great cars. A little bit, "Good at everything, master of nothing" imo. But I like it that way. Suits me perfectly. just had to look outside and check it was still there!Brilliant cars, they seem to be getting better looking as time goes on
Oh and thanks guys. Tbh the seats do make the experience imo.

Looking nice mate,I have always had a little soft spot for the TT, the Mrs had a 225, found it a pretty bland and uninspiring drive but i can imagine the 240 is a lot of fun especially pushing the power yours is
