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 330x32 mm diameter sized semi-perforated brake discs. Even
more impressive is the next higher upgrade of completely perforated brake discs
with diameter dimension of 356x34mm.
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 380x34 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 8,5x19" 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!
