The Audi TT-RS is one mean machine already, but Avus Performance saw an opportunity to recreate the famous Audi Ur-Quattro starting with a TT-RS and couldn’t pass it up.
Avus Performance started with the stock TT-RS which produces 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. From there, Avus modifies the turbocharger, reprograms the ECU, and adds a new exhaust to the car to increase the horsepower by 110 and torque by 140 lb-ft. This brings the TT-RS Ur-Quattro’s total output from the 2.5-liter five-cylinder to 450 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque.
With these impressive power increases, Avus says the 0 to 60 mph time drops from 4.6 seconds for the stock TT-RS down to 3.8 seconds for the Ur-Quattro. Top speed is also increased accordingly. It goes from a mere 174 mph to 194 mph.
The modifications made to recreate the Ur-Quattro don’t stop with just the engine. Avus added adjustable coil-over shocks to better the TT-RS’s cornering abilities and to lower the ride height. Additionally, the car has been painted matte-black with a matching set of black 20-inch Sportec Mono aluminum alloy wheels shod with Hankook S1 Evo tires. Avus also has interior accessories available to make your Ur-Quattro look special inside, too.
All these modifications will cost an undisclosed amount of money as Avus Performance asks for serious buyers to contact them for engine modification pricing. Ordering the suspension, wheels/tires, and paint upgrades will cost around €12,000 ($18,000) and each can be ordered individually. Unfortunately for us in the States, the TT-RS isn’t available so neither is Avus Performance’s modern Ur-Quattro.
