MTM Does the Audi TT-RS Justice with 424 HP and 185 MPH Top Speed

Posted: 20 Nov 2009 05:45 AM PST

The Audi TT has always been a stunner. It was different from the rest of Audi's fleet, with 2 doors and smooth curves. It appeared every bit the part of a sports car, but it was all looks. It lacked the muscle to be a capable sports coupe. Audi's solution to this problem is the Audi TT RS. It's the first true sports car to be drafted by team Audi RS. Of course when the brilliant minds at MTM saw what was coming down the line, they got to work. The result is a formidable combination of style, power, grip and agility. Meet the MTM Audi TT RS. Competitors feel free to call in sick.

It's still the smooth, sexy coupe its always been, but the spec-sheet shows that it now has some real bite. The stock TT-RS uses a 2.5L inline 5-cylinder engine fitted with Audi's FSI system and a healthy turbocharger, making 340hp and 332lb ft. of torque. But like me, the MTM crew are never happy until they find out an engine's true potential. MTM co-founder Roland Mayer actually helped develop the original I-5 engine, so naturally he knows how to utilize every part. And the RS motor was built with a light-weight bottom end, just waiting to be tampered with.
