MTM prefers the subtle art of visual understatement and maximum impact from the engineering within. With the Audi A5 3.0 V6 TDi, the technicians at Wettstetten have produced a tough rival for the near peerless S5. Independently tested at Hockenheim, MTM’s Thunderbolt smashed the S5 lap time by a clear second!
-Power hiked to between 292 and 300bhp and torque to 550Nm (3.0 V6 TDI)
-Vmax up to 265km/h, acceleration to 100kph in 5.9s
-4-tailpipe rear muffler
-Larger brake system for stronger deceleration-Coilover suspension and adjusted axle geometry.
Diesel Jet?
Even with 50bhp less than the S5, the MTM-tuned 3.0 TDi with its 300bhp/221kW performance hike is a true driver’s (standard series model: 240bhp/176kW). Peak torque of 550Nm, compared to the 500Nm standard model, gives real low-down thrust that takes this rocket to 265km/h, 15km/h faster than the standard car. The MTM A5 sprints from 0-100km/h to 5.9s.
