I managed to dig out my old Autocar magazines to compare their performance figures for the PFL and FL RS3's and TTRS.
They use the same stretch of tarmac with two road testers on board and a full tank of fuel so should be reasonably fair.
0-60mph
PFL - 4.1s
FL - 4.0s
TTRS - 3.6s
0-100mph
PFL - 10.3s
FL - 9.9s
TTRS - 8.4s
0-140mph
PFL - 22.8s
FL - 20.6s
TTRS - 17.7s
30-70mph
PFL - 3.7s
FL - 3.5s
TTRS - 3.0s
1/4 mile
PFL - 12.7s
FL - 12.6s
TTRS - 12.0s
Claimed weight/weight as tested
PFL - 1595/1650kg
FL - 1515/1567kg
TTRS - 1440/1505kg
Some interesting numbers. As you'd expect, the more powerful engine begins to really tell above 100mph with the lighter TTRS also making its power to weight ratio tell. Having driven all three, I don't think there's a huge amount between them all, especially on the road, although the TT's handling is a big step up.
If there are any other numbers you'd like me to look up, just let me know.
