Question:

All new TT’s (both the 180 and 225HP version) that are delivered now come with small spoilers and a revised suspension.  In the future, all cars delivered in the U.S. will also have ESP available.  For cars delivered earlier without the spoiler and revised suspension, Audi is offering a retrofit.  Suposedly they will also offer a retrofit to add ESP later (they are not doing this yet in the U.S. and there has been some discussion about whether they will do it at all).  If you check out the TT forum on Audiworld there is lots of discussion and reference to articles written about all of this.  Personally, I am happy to have a non-ESP 225HP roadster, especially since I don’t plan on stomping on the brakes while going 100 mph into a turn (which is apparently what it took – according to the documentation that I have read – to get these cars to "misbehave.")  Bottom line:  you cannot outsmart the laws of physics.  One other note:  in an article that compared ESP to non-ESP equipped cars, invoking the ESP on a sharp turn at high speed was likened to the feeling of actually being in an accident.  I guess the good part is that the car didn’t end up doing a 180 degree turn as it would have without it.  So far from other TT owners I’ve talked to it sounds like a 50-50 split or so on whether or not to take a retrofit on the ESP if offered.

Response:

in europe there were lots of serious accident with TT (one dead in jully 1999) so they put the ESP on each TT and a small becquet to keep the car on the road. if you want more infos about Audi, go to my site: http://avus.free.fr mark tyson a
