Recently Sportec upgraded the Audi TT-RS to 400 hp, but now ABT has released their latest car tuning kit for the Audi on the German market. The brand new Audi TT-RS from the factory comes with 340 hp which isn’t bad, however ABT decided it was not enough for the convertible. They were able to increase the horsepower by 80, for a total of 420 hp, which is the same horsepower number for a stock Audi R8. This is a great figure for some simple engine tuning, and the track numbers are just as impressive. At the track, the customized Audi TT-RS was able to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed limited to 282 km/h. That is only the Stage 1 kit installed by the tuning experts, now imagine what a Stage 2 or Stage 3 could do for the new Audi.
