Go to their site and check out the new Audi TT, it now has a deployable spoiler, 18"s up front and 19"s in the rear. Check out the side profile, you can see the Crossfire roots in it's longer nose and shortened rear end, lol Chrysler should be flattered... oooh, I forgot to mention it's a 3.2 how funny is this?? but It also has alot of Nissan in it too...

I wonder if they will sell more due to the Audi name? Hopefully it has better service and dealers! It looks a little too fem, not enough hardlines like the beloved crossfire.

 

i just sat in one about an hour ago... a new tenant of mine purchased one...

wow... oh sooo sweet inside... red napa leather... true nav... sport seats... overly impressive imo.

its worth looking one over before making your next car buying decision.

 

check out the specs on the 3.2, it's almost identical to the Crossfire, and the weights are the same. only edge I see is that the Crossfire has the engine mounted correctly, but the TT comes with quattro drive. oh and its limited to 130 mph, lol.

"TT" is what little Dutch kids say when they need to pee. Funny, some of the things you remember.

 

TT had the 3.2 long before the crossfire came around.

 

some interior pics...

these pics don't do it justice.

 

and the deployable spoiler on the Crossfire was inspired by the Boxster.

plus, they had to go with deployable on the TT to keep the lines of the car - they had to add a spoiler after the fact on the Mk1 TT due to high speed instability issues... they actually had a recall to add the spoiler for the early builds.

 

The TT and the XF are very similar in concept imo...but the Quattro mixed with a DSG XMSN takes the whole experience to another level!!!

...and then you add HPA Motorsports tuning into the picture and HOLY $HIT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0ye3qNyCkw

imo, a true sports car has a deployable rear wing to slow down from high speed (parachute effect), not to help it go faster. i.e. SLR McLaren - when the brakes are applied, the wing pops up on the back.

and don't reply with the veyron. it's spoiler may go up and down due to speed, but you must remember it never "hides."

 

The Veyron's wing is designed to be an air brake as well as a downforce component.

and re: the TT interior, i love cars with D-shaped steering wheels.
