When Audi->ke14 announced that it would offer the TT RS->ke3038 to the North American market, we were stoked about it. Though the TT RS is mighty impressive, we were a little bit disappointed that this awesome sports coupe only delivered 360 horsepower. Lucky for us, ABT Sportsline seems to agree with us that the TT RS can much better.
To help satisfy our power hunger, ABT Sportsline developed an upgrade kit for both the TT RS and the TT RS Plus models that pushes it to extreme levels. The tuner installed a self-developed ABT air-to-air intercooler and an ABT turbocharger.
The end result is an increase in output up to a total of 470 horsepower and 464 pound-feet – up from 343 pound-feet in the stock model. With the extra power under the hood, the ABT TT RS sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and up to a top speed of 177 mph – this equals a 0.2-second faster 0-to-60 mph time and a 3 mph increase in top speed.

Audi TT RS by ABT Sportsline in Detail
As with any other upgrade kit offered by the ABT Sportsline, the TT RS was equipped with an attractive rear spoiler that completely transforms the look of the TT. There is also a set of ABT suspension springs that lower the car's center of gravity by 1.18 inches.
ABT offered up something for you exhaust-note lovers too, as the tuner installed a stainless-steel exhaust system with middle and rear silencers.
As always, ABT offers a wide choice of wheels. You can choose between 19- or 20-inch rollers in multiple designs. No matter the choice you make, you will also get an ABT sport brake system to help keep all of that extra power in check.
