MCCHIP FRIES AUDI TT RS TO BOILING POINT






It is the French and the English who are best known for chips, but recently the Germans have got in on the act and started a company called Mcchip. Not to be confused with the company that makes hamburgers and chips, Mcchip is a tuner. Their newest creation is based on the Audi TT RS.


In stock form the TT RS produces 250kW (340hp) and top torque of 450Nm. Mcchip has boosted this by reworking the ECU. Suddenly we are faced with a thunderous 279kW (380hp) and a stomping 550Nm of torque. Performance details are not available at this stage, suffice to say top speed is now 300km/h.


Standard rubber is 255/30 R20 Continental and it’s wrapped around black Cargraphic GTR 9x20 rims.


Mcchip is already working on a 294kW (400hp) version but it warns that this is only for those who know exactly what they are doing behind the wheel of a car.
