Pumped up Audi TTS

SIEGEN, Germany — Renowned Audi tuner B&B Automobiltechnik pumps up the Audi TTS with its latest conversion kit.

Extra power can be had in three different stages — 306, 324 or 362 horsepower — and the Stage-3 kit manages R8-fighting numbers with a 0-60-mph time of less than 4.6 seconds. A top speed of 174 mph is reached thanks to a custom turbo, high-flow catalytic converters and a tuned ECU.

B&B spices up the peach-colored exterior with R8-style side markings and body accents, which give the car a more aggressive look with the help of B&B sport springs that can lower the ride height by more than 1.5 inches. Exclusive 19- or 20-inch wheel sets complete the new look for the Audi.

Audi is reportedly working on a higher-performance version of the TTS, which is expected to get a turbocharged five-cylinder with 308 hp.
