I've followed this closely since, at one time, I had a TT on order. At the last minute I changed my mind and bought a 2000 Imola/Imola M Roadster.
The TT is an outstanding car in virtually every way. It probably has the finest interior (design+materials) of any car at any price. The problems with the TT's dynamics )it's really only an issue with the quattro version)are:
1. Aerodynamics (especially the drooping tail) that create lift at high speeds, causing the back end to lose traction and resulting in snap oversteer. My M Roadster has this to a degree; an M Coupe's roofline however, provides enough downforce to prevent this.
2. The TT quattro, transfers power too quickly from one end to the other. Therefore, when the back end loses traction due to rear end lift (as described above), power transfers to the front wheels to fast, exascerbating the snap oversteer problem.
: i don't know the situation. All i know is that the suspension of the TT is not good in high speed. That is the part i do not understand. What is the problem with its rear suspension design? I m not a fan of the TT but i just don't know why they could design a suspension setup to be lossing control in high speed. Do anyone know what is the problem of this design. Also, will my M Coupe have that same kinda problems? Do i also need to add a wing or spoiler to keep it stable like the TT?
