Looking at an Audi TTS Roadster to replace my 996T

Seems to come really well specc'd, and my local dealer has a pre registered car for 6k off new price which is tepting.

Anyone know if these are being tuned yet, and if so where should I be looking. They are 280bhp stock, I would really like to be another 70 or so on top of that.

Also, anyhting nasty about these that I should consider.

Well,

The TTS is 4 wheel drive, has really good magnetic dampers and corners on rails.

It starts with 280 bhp, and I am hoping that this will raise by another 60 or so after tuning.

It will be brand new, and therefore comes with 3 years of worry free maintenance.

It will use the new auto gearbox with flappy paddles.

The only downside is that the convertable is only 2 seater, but I can live with that.

So, it's very similar to a 996, but 1 second slower. I can live with a second slower.

Great car, very competant. Bought one in January for my good lady - went for the manual...

The mag suspension is good, very good. Swift car and a nice exhaust note to boot!

Bad side, issue with the seat leather folding on the seat cushions, but no doubt be resolved under warranty.

They come stock as 265bhp and a straightforward stage 1 remap should see around 305. This month's Evo sees the same engine in the S3 being tuned to 400 so I guess there's plenty of room for teaking!

Check out the TT forum : http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/ for more info from owners.

Regal Autosport are seeing good gains from these. Not sure on software but I think it is GIAC. Maybe worth a call?

It's way overpriced.

A TTS Roadster with all the options for £35k (list price was £41k)

A TT RS (R) with same spec will be £50k and no way will i get the same level of discount.

Also, not sure about calling a car tits & arse
