Now it gets interesting. I wonder re: price. Clearly meant to go after the C63s. BMW will have to come up with something. Both those other cars have nice V8s.

Okay, this is a car I might need to find a way to afford.

BUT, the name is terrible. Just really dumb. V + :rolleyes:

my age is showing, because i'm less and less interested in a car like that.

V8's are awesome but . . . . I think I'm missing something. It's probably going to be a pricey package but it doesn't seem like there's a ton of extra power.

TT V6 - 464 hp
V8 - 505 hp

TT V6 - 445 lb-ft
V8 - 481 lb-ft

Oh, and the 7 spd manual.

I dunno . . . more is better but at what cost? Not sure it'd be worth it in this case.

More power, less weight, better vroom vroom growl noises = WIN.


:D
