European tuners from Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) have started tuning the brand new 2010 Audi S4 with a new supercharged 3.0 liter V6. With only some minor ECU tuning; no underdrive pulley, intake, or exhaust modifications, they were able to crank out 430 horsepower. That is a 97 hp increase over the stock model, and the kit will sell for around $3,500 USD. The torque numbers have been raised as well to 380 ft-lbs of torque and the new 2010 Audi S4 can sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. The BMW 335i rival can expect to see more competition come from Audi and MTM tuning, as the Euro-tuning scene comes to the states later this year.
