Description

Unleash Superb Mid-Range Punch with RaceChip RS

Unlock your stock engine’s hidden potential with the RaceChip RS. Ever wondered why similar models from the same manufacturer have different power outputs? Often, it’s the motor management software, not the hardware, that sets them apart. RaceChip RS taps into this software, safely accessing your car’s performance reserves for an impressive boost at a fraction of the cost.

Even if your car already feels powerful, manufacturers often leave extra capacity to account for different fuel grades and climates. RaceChip RS optimizes within those limits, enhancing power, torque, and acceleration, all while preserving engine safety. Transform your driving experience with the RaceChip RS, designed to make your car more responsive, powerful, and fun to drive.

The RS 5 comes pre-loaded with the optimal map for your engine. With 6 fine-tuning maps, selectable via the Digital User Interface, you can customize performance to match your driving style or engine needs.

Maps 1-2: Eco Mode

Enhance fuel efficiency with increased torque for smoother driving at lower RPMs, while enjoying a modest boost in horsepower.

Maps 3-4: Sport Mode

Achieve a balance between power and fuel economy. This mode delivers noticeable performance gains while letting you assess engine behavior before advancing to higher settings.

Maps 5-6: Race Mode

Unlock peak performance with maximum horsepower and torque. Start with Map 5 to test compatibility and progress to Map 6 for the ultimate driving thrill.

All maps are optimized for performance between 30 mph and 70 mph, delivering the "mid-range punch"—power exactly when you need it for overtaking, highway driving, or spirited acceleration.

Customer Reviews

  • Was skeptical, but this really does make a difference. To upload updates I have to leave ignition on, but car off. Minor thing really to getting tuning updates. The upside, I noticed much better mpg and more power in my 2023 WRX. Really liking the GTS5 and the XLR5 together. Such a fun combo!
