Watch our slide show of the 520bhp TT

A tuning company has built a 520bhp Audi TT with a top speed of more than 190mph – and we’ve got the pictures.

German-based Nothelle has twin-turbocharged the 3.2-litre engine, boosting power by 252bhp to 520bhp and producing 468lb/ft.

Built to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary, Nothelle claim the TT – described as ‘The Porsche Killer’ – will have a top speed of 191mph. 

But while Nothelle hasn’t released anymore figures, we’d expect this power to shift the TT from 0-60mph in a Porsche 911 rivalling 4.5 seconds.

On the outside, the TT – sitting on nine-spoke, 20-inch alloys – has been fitted with an aerodynamic bodykit and uprated the sports suspension, with the driver able to choose from three shock-absorbing levels.

And to help keep the TT on the road, the car has been fitted with a three-part rear spoiler providing extra down force and stability.

Nothelle has also twin-turbocharged the 2.0-litre TT, increasing power to 330bhp.

Don’t expect to see the Nothelle Audi TT on British forecourts, so if you’re looking to buy one or get the kit fitted on your model, you’ll have to contact the factory.
