Posted 6th October, 2011 in Audi | Leave a comment
Wettstetten-based tuning specialist MTM has become the latest company to offer a range of upgrades for Audi’s RS 3 Sportback. Already equipped with 250 kw (340 hp) and 450 Nm of torque, MTM’s first option is a V-Max upgrade for € 1,286, which takes the top speed from 250 km/h (155 mph) to 270 km/h (168 mph).
€ 2,186 gets you 302kW (410 hp) and 550 Nm of torque, enough to drop the car’s 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time from 4.6 seconds to 4.4 s, and a top speed of 270 km/h (175 mph). Starting at € 4,416, MTM can release 312kW (424 hp) and 560 Nm, which results in a 4.3 second sprint to 100 km/h and a 285 km/h (177 mph). If you require the downpipe with metal cat, that price jumps to € 5,400.
MTM’s most powerful version involves the fitment of an uprated turbocharger, giving the Sportback 348kW (472 hp) and 600 NM of torque. To enjoy a 0-100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds, and 292 km/h (181 mph), you have to part with € 9,628 (or € 10,600 with cat).
It might be a sensible idea to also order the MTM-Brembo brake kit, which is based around 380x34mm front discs, gripped by 8-piston Brembo calipers. Add in stainless steel brakelines, and hand over € 5,353.
