Audi TT: A pair of tweaked TTs from German tuner PPI

They have actually tuned the "old" Audi TT, but it's still great to see these pics. Nice job!

But why Audi, and in particular the TT? "I love the Audi marque," Abraham gushed. "I don't think that any other company comes close in terms of technological achievement in the automotive field, and the TT was a perfect car to start with. Very sporty, perfectly proportioned, but there's one problem. It's missing the 'press-your-head-into-your-seat-until-you-scream' feeling when you hit the accelerator pedal."

When I first saw the RS blue coupe I couldn't help but think that if Audi were to build a TT supercar this is how it would look. The fit and finish of the matte carbon-fiber trim is as good as anything AMG is fitting to its DTM cars. The hollow carbon rear wing is a work of art with its weaves perfectly laid and aligned, and the electronically activated mountings seamlessly integrated. The rear wing is no boy-racer add-on, and has been tested up to 190 mph on the autobahn.
