The TT That Could: AVUS Tuned Audi TT-RS Good for 460hp & 194mph
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.

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.
