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.]]>Apr 9th 2008 5:25AM
