Default MTM tuned Audi S3

MTM tuned Audi S3

German tuner Motoren Technik Mayer, commonly referred to as MTM, has laid their hands on the new Audi S3, turning the sports hatch into an uncompromising racer. The tuner has developed two performance packages for the already potent TFSI engine. For the first stage, MTM replaces the engine’s electronics systems. This procedure alone upgrades power to 310hp and torque up to 400Nm. Customers who opt for the MTM resonator and rear silencer enjoy an additional 5hp and 5Nm.
The hottest version receives even more components from the MTM catalogue, including a new front silencer, front pipe and high-flow catalytic converter. Output increases to 330hp while torque is up to 420Nm. With these additions, the car takes just 5.1seconds to cover the 0 to 100km/h sprint and can reach a top speed of 264km/h.
MTM also offers specifically designed braking systems ranging from 330×32mm discs all the way up to 380×34mm monsters. Every package contains both the steel flex brake lines as well as additional parts. The semi-perforated brake discs are a custom-made product from MTM and include massive 8-piston-brake calipers. And of course, all parts are available individually for the more modest enthusiast.

Follow the jump to see the other modifications MTM has developed for the Audi S3.

The racetrack beckons!
The hottest new mtm Audi S3 with up to 330 HP!

● Power between 310 & 330 HP and torque of 400 to 420 Nm
● Vmax up to 264 km/h, acceleration 0-100 in 5,1s
● stainless steel exhaust system with metallic catalytic converter,
double-flow resonator
● variety of brake systems for the best deceleration
● sport springs or coilover suspension

Motoren Technik Mayer GmbH from Wettstetten, Germany, laid their hands on the new referee within the sport compact car arena. The Audi S3 creates great competition within its own corporation to Golf GTI and R32 as well the bavarian colleagues BMW with the mighty 130i. Through the mtm-provided components for motor, breaks, exhaust system and suspension, they have distanced themselves even more from their competitors raising the S3 to an uncompromising racer!
Better performance and higher torque
The TFSI-motor borrowed from parent company VW, is really ideal for tuning revisions. Directly off the assembly line, the turbo engine of Audi S3 already has an impressive 265 HP. One would imagine this alone is enough. Yet, just experiencing the difference proves a visit to mtm is really worth while. In its first stage, mtm replaces the motor electronics. This procedure alone upgrades power to 310 HP/228 kW as well as torque to 400 Nm (Series: 350 Nm). Whoever selects a mtm resonator and the mtm rear silencer receives an additional 5 HP and 5 Nm. The hottest version receives even more components from mtm to boot. With the mtm front silencer and a front pipe with metallic catalysatic converter, performance increases to a powerful 330 HP and torque of 420 Nm. With this addition, in just 5,1 seconds 0 to 100 km/h is reached and a maximum speed up to 264 km/h obtainable.
Naturally, mtm ensures durability for all its parts. Customers benefit from the extensive experience mtm has gathered for example from the TT bimoto®.

As can be expected, all parts described above for the exhaust system are available seperately for the Audi S3 2.0 TFSI. Either the rear silencer with exhaust flap control alone or together with the complete catalytic converter system. Both tail pipes, each with a diameter of 80 mm, look far more impressive than the series-produced parts. From each excapes a sound that one generally only experiences on the race track.
“Races are won on brakes”
Implimenting power upgrades alone, with complete disregard for adequate deceleration, would be operating completely irresponsibly. For this reason, mtm offers cars of all classes specifically designed brake systems.
In the case of the S3, mtm improves deceleration on the front axle in three upgrades. For the first upgrade, mtm provides the S3 with 8-piston-fixed calipers and 330×32 mm diameter sized semi-perforated brake discs. Even more impressive is the next higher upgrade of completely perforated brake discs with diameter dimension of 356×34mm. They must sustain pressure from 8-piston-brake calipers. Last mentioned, mtm also uses within the largest of the three brake systems. Here the semi-perforated brake discs measure 380×34 mm in diameter and when they are gripped by the calipers, the driver has the feeling of grabbing an anchor. The saying “races are won on brakes” is not to be taken lightly. The racetrack beckons! Every package contains both the steel flex brake lines as well as additional parts. The semi-perforated brake discs are, by the way, a custom-made product from mtm. A unique element for the these discs is the semi-perforations as they do not go through the disc completely. They show optics and characteristics of a completely perforated-through disc, but avoid the normally found crack formations followed by extended use.
Clearly, the standard equipped S3 is an outstanding vehicle. However, those who prefer no comprimises will choose from the mtm price-list a coilover suspension which provides lowering the S3 between 35 and 65mm. Its set-up can be regulated by adjustment of the compression and rebound of the damper. Alternatively, mtm offers shorter sport springs that lower the S3 by 45 mm. For better road holding ability, mtm furnishes spacers for track widening of 20 mm per axle.
In regards to wheels, mtm comes up with its own creation “bimoto”. These spectacular features come in finishes of “shiny silver”, “titanium” and “diamond cut”. mtm offers the “bimoto”-wheels for the S3 in the size 8,5×19” ET50. Additionally available is a wheel set with tyres in the dimensions 235/35ZR19.
The general rule at mtm is “special wishes will be granted”. Modifications can be made on an individual basis!
