4.2 TDI V8 - more muscle from MTM

MTM A8 4.2 V8 TDI

Diesel engines, formerly the preferred engines for large and small vehicles, have long since been at home under the bonnet of luxury limousines and trendy SUVs. Powered by voluminous self-ignition engines, these cars glide smoothly along the spacious boulevards and park in front of opera houses, art galleries and boutiques. Often, the owner is sitting in the back, with a chauffeur at the wheel. And he has every right to be happy. As a rule, he has at his disposal torque that produces irresistible power delivery even at an engine speed significantly lower than 2,000 rpm, thus confirming the theory that you can get “a lot of power out of a low engine speed”

MTM A7 3,0 TDI Quattro - a little bit more power?

2011 MTM A7 3.0 TDi Quattro

Roland Mayer, head of MTM and the driving force behind this engineering laboratory outside the gates of Ingolstadt, learned about the original virtues of Audi six-cylinder cars, cultivated them partially and prepared two more variations, which leave nothing to be desired:

• Up to 100 hp more and fantastic characteristics for the Golf GTI
• 205 hp for the diesel Golf GTD

The sixth generation of Golf - optional with the 3 magic letters GTI or GTD - is like his predecessors an object of desire for the tuners. Either up to 310 hp(228 kW) for the GTI or 205 hp (151 kW) for the GTD, the VW and Audi refiner from Wettstetten offers for both cars different power and configuration stages, which improve significantly the characteristics and have a positive effect on the car.


The results: faster lap times, optimum value and lots of recommendations. And that not only in the MTM domains - best vehicle dynamics, thanks to a perfect complete package of power enhancement, exhaust system, suspensions and sport rims - but also for fuel consumption.

With the GTI for a new takeoff

The GTI drivers of the sixth generation will be spoiled with MTM products, which stand more for technique rather than optics. Four power enhancement stages, beginning with 270 hp (199 kW) through the optimization of the ECU and it even goes further.

2010 mtm Golf GTD

Mighty Diesel power. The Golf GTD by MTM.

With a power upgrade - through ECU modifications - of 205 hp (151 kW) and a torque of 380 Nm, the MTM Golf GTD is clearly ahead of the series GTD, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of 7,1 s instead of 7,8 s and a particularly higher flexibility.

For those who are looking for more than a power upgrade, it's also possible to revert to MTM's full range of tuning products. Starting with the well-known MTM exhaust system in 4-pipe-optic and 80 mm diameter, over MTM suspensions, MTM sport rims in the BIMOTO design and MTM brake system, the Golf GTD can perfectly provided with.

Nobody has to be afraid of the prices: 800 Euro (incl. taxes, excl. installation) for the power upgrade, 1.499 Euro for the 18" rim set and for the ones who pay an additional charge of 400 Euro even gets a 19" rim set.

Besides the engine control device M-Cantronic, MTM provides the series production car S4 with 4 rear pipes silencers with throttle valves. What results is 430 bhp (317 kW), 515 Nm of torque and an incredible 4,6 s from 0 to 100 kph (0-60 mph) with the 6 speeds manual gearbox. When a V-Cantronic is also implanted as well as the M-Cantronic, the normal 250 kph top speed reachs 285 kph.

2009 MTM-Audi S4

The S4 is not the only model which is motorized with the 3.0 L engine and new compressor technology. The S5 Cabrio is also built with the factory-made engine. It is then logical that MTM modifies the S5 Cabrio which allows cruising around with a massive power reserve. The tuning specialists from MTM propose different stages of performances, starting with at 380 bhp (280 kW) and 480 Nm of torque, which means about 47 bhp more than the series model. Who wishes the complementary exhaust systems with throttle valves in 4 rear pipes optic (4 x 80 mm), has access to the ultimo stage of power enhancement of 430 bhp and 515 Nm.

So much power in the new MTM S4 Supercharged needs an important brake system, that the customers can of course find by MTM. With 380 x 34 mm disk brakes, drilled with 8-pistons calipers, the S4 decelerate much better. With body work, MTM trusts the series model. However, MTM puts new lowering springs which lower the car up to 40 mm on the front axe and up to 45 mm on the rear axe. To reach the perfection, the package includes 19" rims in the original Bimoto design with dimensions 255/35 ZR 19. Of course, the 20" rims are also available in option.
