Record breaking 575hp R32 does 0-30 in 1 sec!

I found this thread on a US based site called VWvortex. The engine work carried out on this Golf was by a Canadian tuning house called HPA Motorsports. The stats make interesting reading, and its also interesting to note the performance of the standard brakes.

The thread can be found here:

And a rather nice video here:

I hope when AmD launch there TT package for the R32 it goes something like that!

Cheers, Ed

Oh the wonders of the new TT/r32 tranny

Anyone else read about it?
The revolutionary Direct Shift Gearbox DSG successfully combines all the benefits of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox with the qualities of a modern automatic version. The driver thus benefits from enormous agility, driving enjoyment and economy as well as from convenient operation and smooth acceleration with uninterrupted traction.

The 250 bhp version of the Audi TT Coupé 3.2 quattro completes the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 6.4 seconds, whilst its top speed is gently governed at 250 km/h. This model has an overall fuel consumption of 9.8 litres per 100 km. These figures speak for themselves, even when compared with vehicles with a classic 6-speed manual gearbox.

The basis for the new DSG is a 6-speed manual gearbox with high variability in the selection of the transmission ratio. Thanks to the use of an integrated twin multi-plate clutch with ingenious control system, two gears can be engaged at the same time. During dynamic operation of the car, one gear is engaged. When the next gearshift point is approached, the appropriate gear is pre-selected but its clutch kept disengaged. The gearshift process opens the clutch of the activated gear and closes the other clutch at the same time. The gear change therefore takes place without interrupting the flow of power. High overall efficiency is combined with superlative road performance and ease of operation to produce an exceptional drive concept.
