yeah... drove the TT some days back.
My my.. a cute little sports car with a peppy 1.8 Turbo charged engine. I wont go into the history of how i ended up driving it..
That car is a stunner for sure. The Audi marketing guys came down to our site with the car. Silver blue in colour, sporting no extra packages ( which would have been great ) Smooth curvy body - damn sexy looks i must admit.
Engine kicked alive with a distant purr of the turbo - revv it to 4000 RPM and you can feel the genes of a potent sports car.. well driving it was pretty easy as the ususal nips are placed where they should be. Took it to NDA road - 0 to 100 was in about 10 seconds on empty stretches. But forget speeds - if you want all heads turned on to you - just rev her upto 6000 rpm - i did that and boy !! she makes some serious noise !!
Sadly i couldn't take her on highway - i would have loved to check acceleration figures and of course the Top speed...
All in all - not Worth 45 lakhs even after i enjoyed every bit of it... 1.8 litre engine - turbocharged to 150 bhp - naaahh...... i could get 2 Octys with some serious modifications to engine, in that pay-packet !! But as another friend suggested - buy the TT 1.8 model - get custom remaps for the ECU - the total goes upto 55 lakhs with some minor changes in the car - you will get 225 bhp Audi TT.....
but at the same time you end up with Void Warranty - worth the risk ???
NEVER !!!
Instead - go for a Skoda Octavia RS - put in some decent ICE , Get the engine modified to 3rd level --- all this totals to Rs. 20 lakhs.
Remaining maoney - save it - cos you'll need it for the Petrol ;)
As the Marketing guy from Audi said - TT is the fashion accessory for women ( of course RICH ) in europe .... I couldn't agree more !!!!
ICE - in car entertainment.
i am a stranger in automotive field... man thats actually a useless blog - had put that up to liven up the newly started blog ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW thanks for that info... will keep that in mind before turbocharging my 800 .. ;)
I doubt if India has the roads to drive a sports extravanganza like the TT.
ReplyDeleteBut the ride is surely a hell of experince...
Skoda (no offence meant but) is after all a sedan.... nowhere near the TT!
Ofcourse paisa bolta hai!
dude....do u own audi?? or nooo....u just drove audi?
ReplyDeletewat car u drive?
neways....audi is coll....certainly not coolest....seen many better ones!!
i just felt....since u r soo "shaukin"...u shud drive sometime here(US) ....better roads, high speed limits n certainly better cars.u wud love it!
hey sukanti..
ReplyDeletethankfully i do not own the TT or any Audi for that matter.
I drive a Opel Corsa -- puny little sedan with a 1.4 litre engine but love it..
@ driving in US .. i guess europe, especially germany is much better on that scene.. the autobahns are too inviting :D .. and there's just one car i would be willing to drive there -- the Murcielago .. raw, brute force ..
