Official dry weight by Audi is 1260kg, thats 2778LBS. Sport Auto had a test weight with driver and feul of 1322kg, thats 2950LBS for the TT 2.0
The TT 2.0 Roadster was tested at 1386kg, thats 3055LBS.
The TT 3.2 quattro has an official dry weight of 1410kg, thats 3108LBS.
When Autozeitung tested it against the base Porsche Cayman it had a test weight of 1455kg, thats 3207LBS while the Porsche had a test weight of 3100LBS.
Not bad for an AWD car with a relativle old steel block VR6.
WOuldn't be fair to compare the roadster to the S2000, seeing as the S2000 was developed as a roadster and the TT as a Coupe, plus the S2000 is 8 years older then the TT.
