Geneva just hosted the launch of a third-generation TT coupe, which is expected to eventually reach 400 hp in RS format. However, a German tuning company has found a way to get a lot more than that from the outgoing model, which is still a sold car to own.
Introducing the twin Audi TT RSs created by Hperformace. One black, one white, these cars are most definitely both evil because with 5 liters of engine between them, they managed to produce a full thousand horsepower.
Taking the 2.5 TFSI from 340 PS and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) up to 500 PS and 523 lb-ft (710 Nm) of torque required a great deal of parts: aluminum intercooler, HPXT-510 turbocharger, JS racing catalysts, a much larger intake manifold, RAM air charging and an ECU remap to ensure optimal management.
Power is means nothing if the rest of the car can't handle it, so HPerformance upgraded the clutch added Bilstein B16 coilovers, H&R stabilizers, and a ceramic braking system the R8 GT.
In this day and age, 500 PS isn't even enough, so work has already begun on a new TT RS project which will more than double output to 700 hp. Can you imagine the output of an Aventador in a German coupe that shares its platform with a Golf?
