German tuning firm McChip has unveiled two new performance options for Audi's recently launched TT-RS.

The Stage 1 package consists of a retuned ECU module which boosts the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine's output from 250kW and 450Nm of torque to 280kW and 550Nm of torque. Although full performance data wasn't released, McChip did state that the car's top speed has been increased to 300km/h.

In a few weeks, the company will introduce a Stage 2 package which boasts more than 295kW. While official performance numbers are still pending, the company strongly suggests that only experienced drivers opt for the package.

On the styling front, the McChip Audi TT-RS wears Cargraphic GTR 9x20 wheels wrapped in high performance 255/30 R20 Continental rubber.
