Oettinger tunes the TT
German tuner Oettinger plans to show what it can do with the new Audi TT 2.0 T-FSI at the Essen Motor Show. The Oettinger makeover consists of a more aggressive body kit as well as upgraded performance for this all-new Audi coupe.
Besides the revised snout, tail and sills, the Oettinger folks have remapped the engine, modified the fuel-injection pump, and updated the K04 turbo to boost horsepower to 350. A "high-gloss polished exhaust system in stainless steel" and a "sports converter" are also used to help breathing and achieve the higher output. Helping to manage the extra power is a reinforced clutch system. The Essen car also features custom Alcantara leather sports seats.
A final touch on the outside of the show car is the use of new Oettinger 20" type RXX wheels wrapped in 245/30/20 rubber. With these upgrades, Oettinger claims their TT will complete the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, and a reach a top speed of around 270 km/h (168 mph). Oettinger is also promising less radical powerplants for the new TT rated at 230, 280, and 310 hp, for those who want more, but not that much more.

Hot damn thats a good looking Audi!
Does anyone else see the (somewhat) "Veyron-esque" front end?
Large cut out in the center: Check
Smaller horizontal ones under the lights: Check
Hood lines that flow to the ground: Check
I don't know, it just looks very similar to me, although the cut out is a bit wide.

Damn!!! Thats is one of the hottest cars I have ever seen. I've been a huge fan of every aspect of the TT from performance to styling but this really steps it up in both departments. I don't see the Veyron-esque styling though, I see something much better!

Oettinger always seems to be able to pull off "tuner" and "understated" in their aftermaket offerings. This is a very nice ride, their products are usually quality as well.

Umm, thus far the TT 2.0T is only available with FWD as the only Quattro TT being offered at the moment comes standard with VWs corporate 3.2L VR6. While I've heard that Audi plans to produce a 2.0T Quattro in the near future my question is, has VW released a 2.0T Quattro already, or did Oettinger retrofit their tuned version with the company's AWD system themselves? Because uhh... 350hp to the front wheels does NOT sound like a lot of fun.
