Audi S8 by MTM

MTM has introduced their new tuning program for the Audi S8. Looking tastefully restrained, the model has been equipped with a stainless steel exhaust system (€4,500), a high-performance braking system (€6,700) and 21-inch MTM bimoto alloy wheels (€5,800). The tuner also installed an F-Cantronic air suspension (€1,750) which reduces the ride height by 25mm front / 20mm rear.

Under the hood, the €4,925 Powerkit enables the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine to produce 650 HP (478 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 130 HP (110 kW) and 150 Nm (110 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the sedan to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in four seconds before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 293 km/h (182 mph). The completed car is currently on sale for less than €155,000 ($207,050).

Audi S6 by MTM

German tuner MTM has launched an upgrade program for the 2012 Audi S6 which brings a power increase and other improvements.

MTM is no stranger when it comes to aftermarket kits for Audi models as in the last few years they've come up with upgrade packages for the previous RS6, A1 and S5, just to name a few. Their latest project is based on the most recent S6 fitted with the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 TFSI engine which as standard produces 420 HP (309 kW) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft).

By ECU remapping and making several engine modifications, the power unit is now capable of developing 555 HP (408 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time in 4.2 seconds (0.6s faster) and a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h), unlike the stock car which is electronically-limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

Other parts available include MTM Bimoto nine-spoke alloys, custom suspension and a new brake kit with Brembo components. The power boost costs 3,791 EUR, while the suspension kit will set you back an additional 1,737 EUR.

Audi RS3 tuned by MTM

German tuner MTM has a power kit for the Audi RS3 Sportback that dials up output by more than 130 horses over the series 340 PS (250 kW / 335 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

A total power rating of 472 PS (347 kW / 466 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque is reached by means of a modified turbocharger and a new sport exhaust system which also provides the appropriate sound. MTM beefs up the braking system to match all that extra go too.

The RS3 by MTM is then good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.1 seconds over the series' 4.6. MTM also adds 19-inch bimoto wheels and lifts the V-max to 292 km/h (181 mph).

MTM offers more modest bumps in output to 410 PS (302 kW) and 424 PS (312 kW) for the less adventurous.

Total cost of the top-end package is €10,600.

MTM Audi A1 Nardo Edition

On the occassion of the annual Nardo Highspeed gathering attended by select tuning companies such as 9ff, G-Power, SpeedArt and MKB, MTM modified the engine to produce 500 PS (368 kW / 493 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque. It sends power to the front-wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, which enables the A1 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph).

The only special modification made to improve aerodynamics was the use of wheel covers.
