Looks like the original engine was a BMW race one built by a Swiss place. Raced by Abt on the Audi TT V8 and then bought for this project by Getrag.

It looks that way, but every "serious" Nurburgring lap I've seen looks the same...the car is very fast. I'm guessing 2400 lbs and close to 500hp (the Abt TT-R made 455hp restricted and was about 2200 lbs - see http://www.whel.de/Cars/abt_tt-r_2002_specs_en.html) It dispatched what looks to be a prepared 997 (turbo?) pretty easily as a gauge...and a few M3's were pushed aside like golf carts.

I love the opening scene down the front straight...raw, violent, unending acceleration. It's a German missle!

Cheers
