Power is boosted from 200PS to 272PS and its torque from 280Nm to 350Nm, available between 2,500 and 5,000rpm.
Linked to six-speed close ratio transmission, it slingshots the TTS Coupé to 62mph in 5.2 seconds, and on the Autobahn is only curtailed by its electronic limiter at 155mph. Body kit, bigger wheels and four exhaust pipes distinguish the TTS.
