Default 2010 MTM Audi S4





*Pictures are not of the MTM. They are stock the S4.*

Quote:
The tuners at MTM have begun tweaking the all-new 2010 Audi S4 (B8) in Europe, and as expected, Audi's new supercharged 333-hp 3.0-liter V6 is rife with potential. With only a revised ECU – no underdrive pulley, intake or exhaust mods – MTM was able to coax 430 crank horsepower out of the blown six – 97 hp more than stock.

The kit, which retails for 2,491 euros (around $3,500 USD), brings torque output up to 380 lb-ft and, according to MTM, drops the 0-60 mph time from 5.2 to 4.6 seconds. Clearly, good things are on the way for the BMW 335i fighter, and we expect more to follow when the new darling of the Euro-tuning scene arrives in the States later this year.

Well, I actually like the sound of the kit. I would still get my own parts, but $3,500 does not sound bad all. Also, MTM does a great job with the A4/S4/RS4. I would not suprised if this was a pretty reilable kit because MTM is well know company for their work on Audi models... I like the sound of this, really. I do.

You're such a bimmer fanboy now...lol

I prefer rwd over awd, so, until Audi surprises me with such an offering, BMW's still going to win it for me.

I like it, 97 extra HP with just some tweaking of the ECU? Niiiiice.

Let's just hope they don't go overboard with visual "upgrades".

I have a random question about this car:

Why are there such easily accessible engine hooks? Does the engine need to be lifted to perform maintenance or repairs?
