German tuners Motoren Technik Mayer is releasing a new upgrade package for Volkswagen Golf GTI mk. VI owners. The new release is meant to compete with the upcoming Golf R by adding power.
The MTM package includes an extra air filter, and updated ECU tuning to boost the engine to 270 horsepower and up to 390 Nm of torque. This boosts top speed to an electronically-limited 265 km/h. Sans limiter, the speculation is that this car could clear 300 km/h.
Other enhancements include light alloy MTM Bimoto wheels with Continental XL Sportcont tires. The wheels are matte black, which matches the few black and dark grey pieces on the car. Eight-piston caliper brakes and 380 mm discs come from Brembo.

270HP and 300km/h top speed? I doubt that, even cars like a 400hp E39 M5 only do REAL 300.
Don't you think the ratios would have been tweaked biased to top speed rather than acceleration?
*notes the lack of a 0-60 time*
270 hp is a nice output, from a 2 liter engine, but there is no way that it can reach 300 km/h, im very skeptical about that, i think you need at least 400 hp to go that fast.
Very impressive, personally I am thinking of a Golf GTI Mkiii later one.
It's possible depending on the gearing, you have to remember it has a pretty good Cd and its a small car, my Saab 9-5 Aero hit 285km/h with 302whp, and has a lower Cd and is 2x the size, plus it was only a 5spd. This could easily do 300 with a nice tail wind and proper gears meant for top speed.
I'm amazed it's only an air filter and ECU upgrade. The MK6 really must be stronger in build than the MK5 which I know for a fact you had to (ideally) upgrade more components.
