MTM has taken the wraps off an upgrade package tailored to the Audi RS3 Sportback. Focus was on the turbocharged five-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that has been massaged to deliver a whopping 435 PS and 605 Nm of torque, thus making it a lot stronger than the stock version which has 367 PS and 465 Nm. As a result of the added punch, the Audi RS3 will run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 3.9 seconds, so it will be 0.4s faster than the stock model. As for the top speed, it has increased from an electronically-governed 174 mph (280 km/h) to more than 186 mph (300 km/h).
Besides infusing more power, MTM also installed their 19-inch Nardo wheels on this Audi RS3 Sportback which now rides on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. At an additional cost, customers can opt for the stainless steel exhaust system and a set of beefier brakes while a performance suspension is also available. There’s a subtle body kit with several bits and pieces made from carbon fiber, along with some interior tweaks like the leather steering wheel and carbon seats.
A fully-loaded Audi RS3 Sportback by MTM costs €75,044, including taxes, installation and the car. If you want more power, you’ll be happy to hear MTM is working on a new boost program to take the turbo-five to 500 PS.
