62 mph in 4 secs, drag-racing 12,000 pounds up a mountain, or 60 mpg?

Utterly senseless? Will fuel economy ever be cool? MotorTrend is salivating over the new ABT-Sportsline modified Audi TT-RS today. With specs like 0 – 62 in 4 seconds and a top speed of 181 mph, what gear head wouldn’t act as if his bell had just been wrung? Yet, if all the effort put into achieving such power had been put into achieving fuel economy, 60 mpg would already be an after-thought
