German tuner B&B is, as far as we know, the first company to release a press statement saying that it has done something amazing to the all-new Audi TT, the 8S generation. So, without further ado, we bring you a German coupe on Viagra.
Let us first establish what kind of car we're dealing with here. This specific TT coupe left the factory with the engine we'd have chosen for it, the 2.0 TFSI turbo with 230 HP (169 kW) and 370 Nm (272 lb-ft) of torque, otherwise known as the same engine as the Golf GTI.
B&B says it can do one of three things to the TT: tickle it, take it to the gym or turn it into a monster.
Stage 1 increases the output to 300 HP (221 kW) and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) by using more fuel and boost pressure. If the same level of performance as an S3 isn't enough, there's also a Stage 1S with a new air intake that bumps output to TTS levels: 310 HP (228 kW) and 435 Nm (321 lb-ft).
Order the €4,000 Stage 2 kit and those magic numbers jump to 326 HP (240 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft), as new exhaust system with sports catalytic converter is added to the mix.
Finally, there's the Stage 3 kit, which is a bit insane. Costing nearly €10,000, this takes the TT to 360 HP (265 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) thanks to a new turbo, an intercooler, an even sportier exhaust and lots of boost pressure.
Other upgrades for the race-savvy include an €1,295 oil cooling system, sports spring sets that are available from €298 stabilizer braces from €498. If you're unhappy with the ones Audi offers, 20-inch wheels with 265/30 R20 tires can be ordered.
But perhaps the most useful bit of kit for a 300 hp compact coupe are the six-piston brake calipers. After all, you don't want anything bad happening to the new Audi you've just spent a small fortune on.
