What a force of nature in a very compact coupe: with the new ABT TT-RS a powerful 501 HP (368 kW) is now available with ABT POWER S. That is an impressive 161 HP (118 kW) more than the dynamic series standard model from Ingolstadt.
Even with ABT POWER there is still 420 HP (309 kW) available, and with it the TT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds (series standard: 4.6 seconds). The top speed is then 282 km/h. “It goes without saying that with 501 HP the TT is even more sporty”, says Hans-Juergen Abt. The General Manager of ABT Sportsline explains that the innovative ABT Turbo charger is applied on the POWER S version. With it the TT-RS sprints easily to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds and accelerates on powerfully up to a top speed of 292 km/h. Driving enjoyment, sportiness and the feeling of DTM

Manhart Racing M6XR Twin Turbo
Bold statement: 687 hp & 319 km/h!
Doubtless, it takes some degree of nerve to approach a vehicle of the calibre of an X6 M. The über-SUV is powered with a V8 twin turbo engine as standard, which develops a fat 555 hp and 680 Nm of torque at a maximum charging pressure of 1.5 bar. And when liberated from its burdensome electronic speed limiter, the X6 has the capability to run up to a speed of 275 km/h. Impressive performance specifications - equivalent to those of a supercar.
Günther Manhart, of course, is not impressed by those numbers; he has been something akin to an inofficial pope at BMW motors for many years. Thanks to his many years of experience with the Bavarian engine constructors, the X6 M V8 twin turbo engine proved no exceptio
