Yea it was. The 1st gen had a 180hp FWD, a 225hp AWD, and a 240hp AWD.

The very early TTs had aggressive front camber and no spoiler out back, so they were known to swap ends at high speeds. They recalled them after a few high speed fatalities in Germany and swapped in shorter control arms up front to reduce the camber and they added the spoiler.

The AWD system is reactionary and can only send up to 50% power to the rear, so even the early ones would plow hard under power.
