Hoppen Up and Down; Raising the output and lowering the chassis makes the Hoppen allroad really jump.(Brief Article)
If you have difficulty comprehending the Audi allroad, find solace in the fact you're not alone. Josef Hoppen doesn't get it, either.
``What is it?'' asks the former director of motorsport for Volkswagen/Audi of America. ``A station wagon? SUV? Even Audi hasn't defined this car.''
Hoppen is a man who finds answers. You don't oversee six straight Pikes Peak wins and numerous Trans-Am, IMSA and Can-Am championships any other way. His company, Joe Hoppen Motorsport, has built a reputation as the Audi tuner for enthusiasts in North America (AW, Oct. 29, 2001). When he called to tell us he had a 320-hp allroad performance package available, our curiosity was piqued. Allroad as driver's car?
Using custom-engineered pieces supplied by German-based Motoren-Technik-Mayer (MTM), Hoppen and son Mike have given this poster child for automotive schizophrenia a whole new personality. Hoppen starts the treatment by replacing the stock exhaust with a 90-mm stainless-steel cat-back unit consisting of specially designed center and rear mufflers. Reprogramming the engine and transmission control units yields higher revs and quicker shifts than those provided by the stock 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 and five-speed Tiptronic transmission. Replacing the turbo-bypass valves allows for quicker boost recovery between shifts and during on-and-off-throttle driving situations. Toss in spark plugs that avoid fouling and then suddenly this Audi allroad has a new purpose: to be driven. Hard.
Hoppen claims the modifications are good for 320 hp at 5280 rpm and 352 lb-ft ...
