i highly doubt the mid engine layout... unless of course this is a indication that the "golf" is going mid-engine too! sorry folks just being silly.... not another platform share "niche"!!

The should have gone with the R4/KTM roadster idea they had quite a while ago. It looked, too. Source: http://www.cartype.com/pages/2119/audi_ktm_roadster__2006 That could have been fun.

Whoa, 2013? thats a long way away. At least it gives me more time to like this version. If it is gonna be mid engined like the R8, name it the R6. or R4 if it has a 4cyl engine.

Good idea, TT is an okay name, but R4 would be more suitable(or R6 if it has a VR6).

Which platform is this based off now then? I thought it was the latest Golf/A3/Leon platform?

@britboy: it's got its own platform now, mostly made of aluminium to keep the weight at a correct value.

It has the ASF (Audi Space Frame) layout

It is the same chassis as the MKV's, but they replaced the front portion of the chassis with aluminum to give better balance for having an iron block over the front wheels and the rear half of the car is steel to get better weight distribution. Anyways, it's like the ASF but it's not, just a very modified MKV platform.

VW is also working on a mid-engine sports car, so i would imagine this would use the same chassis. I like the Idea, it would make the car quite a good handler with the weight balance. Heres hoping.
