so you changed a 2017 TTS for a 2022 TTS?

 

Hello

Yes I change car as I had done over 50,000 miles on my 2017 model

 

Sounds promising, was worried the 20 inch wheels might be a lead to a hard ride, the last TT I had was a Mk1 240 Quattro sport, 10 years or so ago, I'm collecting my TTS on 1 April, I imagine it will be quite a change from my last one!

 

The thing I notice most over the Mk2 is how stiff the car is. So the ride can be a bit harsh at times. That being said, the roads are awful here.

I assume the Vorsprung is a special edition. What does it come with? Interesting it's a smoother ride, I'd not have guessed that.

 

Its a whole new car. Newer EVO engine etc.

 

Congrats on your Vorsprung! Have you done any proper 0-100 / 100-200 tests? Would love to know what type of tune on the SIMOS19 is because the Golf R mk8 has more umpf in it than the S3 8Y, i myself do low high 7's (Dragy confirmed) on 100-200 on a dying LPFP pump on my TT 8s 2015.

 

My thoughts on 5 months ownership of the 320ps TTS Vorsprung are
Excellently put together
Amazing seats
Faster than a 310 ps S3 and the new Golf R
Vorsprung comes with almost every option available, stunning alloys They are one of the last Audi's to built and put together like a Audi should be
Negatives
road noise long doors no illuminated Door Sill lights
Stiff suspension
Needed a second screen on the dashboard
The design of the front is at odds with the design of the rear
Vorsprung is expensive and should have had rear OLED tail lights as standard l had to buy oem ones myself


Be sad when Audi stops it's production

OLED Tail lights?

 

about your negatives:

• don't you have Magnetic system (to set it to comfort)?
• agree on the absence od the door sill lights and necessity of a second screen (especially for entertaining the passenger)
• additionally, hate the water entrance in the boot when raining/after washing

 

Magnetic Dampers yes the Vorsprung has them but still it's a harsh ride on most road surfaces here in the UK road noise was deafening on some rougher roads

 

 

Ah that's pretty cool. I didn't know about them. Thanks

 

Thanks Kevin. Looks the same as my 17 Black Edition, I assumed they were standard. The reversing lights are useless.

Is it worth looking to see if the wiring is there for the door/sill lights?

 

I believe 99% there is no wiring for the sill lights...

 

more functioning details:

(the showed OLED unit is a prototype or a demonstration unit I believe… note the small RS logo near the TT one… also, the animation after braking at 2:03 does not seems the one used for the mass production… would be interesting to discover its coding.. )

 

well magnetic dampers set to confort increase the confort a bit, but there is no solution against the combination of low tire profile and destroyed roads….
