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? Yes, that pretty much all they add in the power department but together it is able to take the 2.5-liter 5-cylindar engine to a 460hp and 472 lb-ft high. That is good enough to propel the TT-RS to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds and top out at 194 mph. That’s 120hp more than the 340hp stock form that tops out at 155mph and does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds.

Not many tuners have touched the BMW Z4 let alone turned it into a tuners dream-car until now. Manhart Racing, a German company known for stuffing big V10’s and V12’s in cars that were never originally designed for them, has taken the BMW M5’s V10 and put it in one of their latest creations, a BMW Z4M. Already, the Z4 M is not slouch sharing the S54 engine from the BMW M3 producing about 343hp. Why not slap a supercharger on that inline-6, no no, Manhart had to take it a few notches up… BAAM… A big V10 powers this Z4.

Mine’s is known as a premier Japanese tuner company based out of Yokosuka, Japan. Started back in 1985 and known to be one of the first Japanese companies to sell re-programmed ECU systems for Japanese sports cars, they have now ventured to tune some of the fastest Japanese vehicles to roll off of the assembly line. One of the latest creations is the Mine’s Nissan GT-R Spec V.
Mine’s GT-R Spec V has been tuned to upwards of over 600hp. They plan on adding new components such as a carbon fiber hood and trunk to shave even more weight off of the already-lightened Spec V. Two new videos of the Mines GT-R Spec V have surfaced with an English subtitle translation.
