Audi
RS3 by MTM
If
you were looking for one of the fastest hatchbacks on the planet, you might
want to take a look at MTM’s latest treatment for the Audi RS3.
The
German tuning house is now offering a software upgrade for the Audi RS3,
bringing the total horsepower figure to 435 PS, up from 367 PS produced by the company’s five-cylinder turbocharged 2.5-litre unit.
Torque
now stands at 605 Nm delivered between 1,925-5,750 rpm, allowing the MTM Audi RS3
to sprint to 100 kmh from a standstill in 3.9 seconds. 0-200 km/h takes just 14.1 seconds.
MTM
says that if your tires can handle the speed, their tuned RS3 will break the
barrier of 300 km/h, allowing you to scare supercar owners on
Autobahns and other unrestricted motorways on the planet.
Other
upgrades include a set of 380 mm disc brakes with Brembo eight-piston calipers
and lightweight 19 inch wheels. The company is currently working on even faster
derivatives of the RS3, saying that a 500 hp package is already undergoing
shakedown trials.
As
for the price, a new, fully prepped Audi RS3 by MTM complete with 435 hp and a
top speed of over 300 km/h will cost you around € 75,000 (US$ 80,000) in Germany.
