The German specialists just unveiled their initial package that includes a few improvements. First, the styling upgrades consist of a 19 or 21-inch wheel kit, 20 mm spacers for a wider stance, and an aftermarket exhaust with throttle valves. The Audi RS5 performance figures weren’t raised, however the tuning company removed the cars speed limiter. But the price to have this done is a little too much for the average joe.

The tuning specialists at MTM have released a custom program for the Audi S5 Cabrio to increase performance by adding a supercharger. This is said to give the Audi S5 “maximized pleasure and comfort to the open air driving fans,” while tuners say it is the “most beautiful car” that was designed by Walter de Silva. Transforming the car is the supercharged engine, a wheel package, lowering kit, and sporty seats. MTM kept the stock Audi S5 Cabrio 3.0-liter TFSI V6 quattro engine in place, but hooked it up with their special M-Cantronic, and V-Cantronic modules. The results are amazing with a 100 horsepower increase over the stock numbers, to reach a total output of 430 hp and 515 Nm of torque.

Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) has created an exclusive tuning program for the VW Golf GTI VI to prepare for its new rival the Golf R coming soon. The Volkswagen Golf VI GTI is their icon of the sports car, but it needed more power to compete with the upcoming Golf R.

On all fours are matte black MTM Bimoto light alloy rims wrapped in Continental XL Sportcont tires measuring 235/35/19 in size.
