Interesting - the TT would have had a different reputation completely if this went into production.
From my perspective I would imagine the car would deter sales away from the RS4 / RS6, something that Audi would not want as the TT was aimed at a different buyer.
I would also imagine the weight of the V6 up front would cause different handling characteristics compared to the 1.8T.

Great find OP and very interesting....
Love the fact "Audi was able to completely utilize the RS 4âs drivetrain for the project, opening up a power potential of 380-400 hp while utilizing the well-developed torsen-based quattro system."
What's not to love about that TT.
Totally agree Voorhees, although I still think the 1.8t is still very good in the 8L S3....
Definitely think Audi missed a trick as they should have chucked the 2.7t V6 into a 8L RS3 and started the RS3 back in the 8l days, along with some decent brakes to go with it
I'm pretty sure they would have shifted a limited run of say 300 or so and given the TT and S3 a different light from petrol heads 'if' they went through with the production some 15 odd years ago.

TBH im a bit gutted they didnt stick with the turbo motor for all RS cars..especially the B7. really wanted one, drove a few but the v8's lame IMHO. so maybe the answer to retro fit the v6 turbo or the new 5 pot rs3 motor!
