Audi Announces Pricing For the TT-RS

A new tuning package from Avus Performance has been released for the Audi TT-RS. If you want a ridiculously fast TT-RS, then Avus Performance is your answer.

The new Avus Performance tuning package for the Audi TT-RS adds a new ECU, different turbocharger, and high performance exhaust system with racing cats. The question you are asking is; that’s it?
