MTM's customers are not interested in the fact that the new Audi S4 with a 3.0-litre TFSI engine makes 245kW (333hp). What they are interested in is how much more power their favourite tuner can wring out of the supercharged engine. MTM says it can allow an extra 71kW (97hp) to be harnessed thanks to its M-Cantronic system. That means the MTM S4 produces 430hp (316kW) and 515Nm of torque. That is more power than the previous-generation RS 4 which had 420 horses and 430Nm running underneath it.

The quattro differential and the 6-speed manual gearbox help the car accelerate from 0 - 100km/h in 4.7 seconds. Buyers have a choice between 19-inch and 21-inch wheels in addition to a height-adjustable suspension system. An exclusive four-pipe oval exhaust system with different optics is also fitted along with MTM brakes.

A6 3.0-litre TFSI owners are not left out either. For them MTM has a special M-Cantronic programme which not only increases their V6's efficiency but gives them an extra dose of 70hp (51kW) to bring the total to 360hp (265kW).

So dynamic is the MTM system that it can be installed and/ or removed in a short space of time, making it ideal for people who are using leased cars as well as outright owners.

Press Release (Click to expand)

Just on the market, MTM inspires the new high-tech 3.0 TFSI of Audi with more power and driving dynamics. The V6-aggregat in the S models with 333 hp becomes a real athletes heart after the MTM treatment, with this you are also allowed to challenge the bigger RS models with their V8 engines. 430 hp and 515 Nm were measured on the MTM dynamometer.

Beside improved performance MTM also offers for the new S models exhaust systems with different optics (4-pipe, oval, black) and bimoto wheels (19" and 21") as well as MTM height adjustable suspensions and MTM brake systems.

For the customer of the new A6 with the 3.0 TFSI power train MTM offers for the first time the M-Cantronic for petrol engines. At the same time not only the increased efficiency of 70 hp is pretty impressive (series 290 hp, MTM about 360 hp) also the power expansion and characteristic.

To make it all clear: driving dynamics and power expansion are on a definite higher level without a complex conversion or reprogramming of the control unit. Assembly and disassembly are possible in short time and with this MTM now offers for commercial used vehicles a tuning solution which can be removed at the end of the leasing time.

C'mon MTM, you gave it 100bhp more, yet you leave the exterior as it is with a stripe and wheels.

why mess with perfection? it's looks better near 100% original, than some "tuned" cars that have almost nothing in common with the original model!

i think one of the good things about MTM is that they leave Audis almost original on the outside. Audis are gorgeous, understated premium cars. they don`t need some cheap bling bling on the outside.

The S4 is supposed to be a sleeper.

Yep, it's nice to see a well engineered car that looks modest, rather than a poorly executed dog's dinner.

This does looke like an Abarth 500 viewed in a Hall of Mirrors though.
