I really can't see this happening. Although they're not for me, the beauty of the TT-RS and TT-S is that they do what they do very well. Creating a track focussed version will see the price rocket to a point where the competition are on another level.

I thought Nissan made one called the GT-R.

it'll probably happen as a run out model, but i doubt it'll have a roll cage. think of it as a modern version of the original TT Sport that was the run out for the 8N version.

And 1000kg?

i think that's a tad optimistic lol, but i reckon it might shift a few kg

Hardcore TT?.....

It's stuff like this that gives me such big respect for APR's products.

If money was no object I'd love an Audi RS3 with this APR Stage 3 conversion.

Isn't it just big power stuff though?

....Yes, but that's how I interpreted the thread title. If Audi really want to go 'hardcore' it means big power. That APR TT-RS seems very practical.

[andrewparker]

I guess, though it could mean high power-to-weight. Audi are far more likely to pump up the BHP though.

....Agreed, upping the ECU's map is the easier route and probably cheaper to produce.

4 + 2 = 6

5 + 1 = 6

etc.

They'll have to do more than just tweak the map to sell it to customers, I would have thought.

The current TT-RS weighs in at over 1400kg, so 336bhp/1.4=240bhp/ton

a 1 ton model with a conservative 400bhp would be 400bhp/ton, which would easily put it into supercar baiting territory.

As Colin Chapman once said  "Add lightness"

i reckon 1300kg and 370ish bhp is more realistic. i doubt Audi would want to stamp on the toes of the R8.
