Avus Performance Audi TT RS

 

Just a couple of weeks ago we introduced the AVUS Performance Nissan GT-R Black Edition. Now we have a new matte-black high-performance Audi TT-RS from the same German tuning shop which appears to be on a tear of late. Dubbed the Ur Quattro, Avus is providing a complete tuning package for this diminutive sports car which includes a serious bump in power output via a revised ECU, new turbocharger and high-performance exhaust system with racing catalysts.

 

These upgrades allow the Avus Performance TT-RS to produce 460bhp from the 2.5-iter five-cylinder engine. With 472 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph can be reached in just 3.8 seconds from a complete stop. And top speed is an amazing 194 mph. This is a significant increase over the 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque available from the stock Audi TT-RS, which, incidentally, is also electronically limited to 155 mph.

AVUS PERFORMANCE Nissan GTR Black Edition

 

Fresh on the heels of dropping a matte-black Audi Q7, German tuning powerhouse AVUS PERFORMANCE is back at it again with the Nissan GT-R Black Edition. In Europe, the successor to the Skyline GT-R R34 is a rare commodity with only 480 units available. AVUS is offering their "Batmobil Reloaded" model with a very aggressive look featuring the aforementioned black matte black paint job, a lowered ride height via new coilovers (with the stock adjustments for the dampers retained) and black painted 20-inch wheels fitted with spacers.

 

In addition, there are individually painted parts like the front bumper, the rear diffuser and air vents along with a dark window tint.  Besides looks, the AVUS Nissan GTR also sports a modified ECU and special new exhaust pipe with the omission of the 2 cats and the middle silencer. The result is that performance is boosted to 580 hp and 700 Nm of torque, besting the stock 485 bhp by a wide margin.

Avus Performance C63 AMG

 

Avus Performance is a German aftermarket tuner that creates a lot of mods for Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. Its latest offering is a tuned Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG putting out 585 bhp with a top speed of 198 mph. This much speed and power needs excellent stopping capabilities and so Avus installed 8 piston calipers with 15 inch rotors. This project car also features 20 inch wheels, a lowered suspension with new coilovers, updated mirror covers, a blacked-out front grille and blacked-out Mercedes star along with an updated stainless steel exhaust system.
