[SEMA 2017](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/15583/acura-nsx-dream-project-by-scienceofspeed-headed-to-sema>) opened on Halloween this year, and [Audi Sport has just debuted](<https://media.audiusa.com/en-us/releases/199>) a couple of concepts to show off its new aftermarket program.

First on the list of Audi's offerings is the TT Clubsport Turbo concept, inspired by the iconic [Audi 90 IMSA GTO](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/8958/watch-the-audi-90-imsa-gto-spit-flames-all-over-the-track>) race car from the 1980s. The TT's 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine has been boosted to 600 horsepower thanks to a new electric-assisted turbocharger, allowing this TT to scamper to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, up to a top speed of nearly 193 mph. The TT Clubsport imitates the Audi 90's look as well, featuring huge racing fender, wider stance, and an adjustable carbon fiber wing.

**Audi**

Car No. 2 from Audi's performance offshoot is an Audi TT RS loaded with [Audi Sport's performance parts](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/12328/audi-sport-performance-parts-make-your-sport-audi-a-little-sportier>), which are currently available for the full TT lineup and R8 supercar. This [TT RS](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/3182/2017-audi-tt-rs-is-a-400-horsepower-mini-r8>) features an adjustable coilover suspension, [Akrapovic-tuned](<https://www.thedrive.com/porsche/8966/akrapovic-pumps-up-the-volume-on-this-porsche-991-gt3-rs>) titanium exhaust system, upgraded brakes, lightweight 20-inch wheels wrapped in grippy performance tires, upgraded chassis, and aero pieces for maximum downforce. Step inside to find Audi Sport's new steering wheel featuring carbon fiber shift paddles.

**Audi**

The last car to grace Audi's booth at SEMA this year is McCann Racing's [R8 LMS](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/477/calling-mom-from-a-lamborghini-aventador-sv>). Motorsport may not have a huge place at the Las Vegas event, but the R8 LMS shares half of its parts with its [road-going brother](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/4203/audi-r8-quick-review>). Since its debut at Geneva in 2015, the R8 LMS has had major success in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge, and 24 Hours Nürburgring.

SEMA show-goers can find this trio of high-performance Audis on display in the North Hall from October 31st through Nov. 3.
