At Rudskogen Motorsenter during Norway's Gatebil event, a TS-Racing-built thousand-horsepower Audi commands attention. As it exits the pits for extreme time-attack practice, the symphony of spinning turbos, wastegate hisses, and the iconic five-cylinder engine echoes across the Scandinavian landscape—a mechanical opera crafted over seven years by Tommy's team.
The Thousand-Horsepower Five-Cylinder Audi at Gatebil: TS-Racing's Mechanical Rhapsody

The Violent Beauty of a Five-Cylinder Turbo: 1,000HP Deconstructed
The Audi's five-cylinder heart features forged internals, oversized turbo kits, and a custom intercooler, pushing output beyond 1,000HP. Its unique firing order gives the exhaust note a high-frequency "sewing machine" timbre, while each wastegate release punctuates the air with a distinct "whoosh." ECU recalibration and upgraded fuel injection preserve the five-cylinder's signature tone while unleashing brutal thrust.
On Rudskogen's main straight, the Audi's acceleration defies intuition. As it blasts past, fellow high-performance cars appear frozen in time—its stance remains eerily stable through 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 300km/h. Aerodynamic upgrades generate downforce, while suspension geometry tweaks and a roll cage convert raw power into controlled track performance, distancing it from the stock five-cylinder's agile character.

TS-Racing's Seven-Year Evolution: From Mobile Billboard to Performance Benchmark
Tommy's TS-Racing undertook three key upgrades since 2007:
2009: First K04 turbo and full exhaust install, boosting power to 600HP
2012: Forged pistons/connecting rods and water injection system push output to 800HP, debuting at Gatebil
2014: Carbon fiber hood, titanium wastegate, and race ECU finalize the build at 1,020HP—surpassing even Tommy's original expectations
Now a rolling testament to TS-Racing's expertise, the car proves that with Nordic modification obsession, the five-cylinder engine's potential knows no bounds. At Gatebil, where individuality and performance reign, it stands as mechanical art in motion—each rev a declaration of automotive passion.
