Several popular tuners have released their concept images of packages for the all new 2014 Volkswagen Golf. These include ABT Sportsline, MTM and Oettinger offering unique styling and performance upgrades. Starting off with ABT, they have put together a complete kit featuring a front apron, grille, light accents, mirror covers, side skirts, rear apron and integrated diffuser. Tuning under the hood came next, but don’t forget that these new Golf engines are severely underpowered from the factory.

MTM Audi A7 Sportback TDI
MTM is the latest tuning company to have a take on the Audi A7 Sportback TDI. The tuners from Senner had just released their project a couple days ago, but this A7 matches up just as well. MTM was able to push the factory performance numbers of 245 HP and 500 Nm of torque to 285 HP and 580 Nm of torque for the first option. A second tuning option available for the Audi A7 boosts the figures to 300 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. Both of these packages are priced at 1,392 Euros (US$2,000), which does include the installment of the kit.
MTM Audi R8 V10 Biturbo
Here is the latest tuning job performed by MTM on the new Audi R8 V10 Biturbo. It will be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and most likely blind all the camera’s with the chrome exterior. If you ever plan on wrapping your car in chrome, or painting it a bright color, you always need to remember that you will be drawing attention to traffic cops in your modified car. You better hope that your car is faster than the police cars, so that they won’t feel the need to chase you since you will be long gone by the time they start. This custom Audi R8 V10 produces 766 horsepower and 888 Nm of torque, with a predicted top speed of over 360 km/h once the tuning is completed. As it sits right now, the Audi R8 was able to reach 347.6 km/h, reported by the MotorVision.de website.
MTM Audi RS5
Even though the Audi RS5 was recently released, the tuners from MTM have been some of the first to launch a tuning program for the car that is confirmed on the U.S market in 2012. 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.
MTM Audi R8
The German tuners from Motoren Technik Mayer have dressed up and supercharged the MTM Audi R8 GT3-2. MTM’s 420 hp V8 dropped the Quattro four wheel drive system, making the rear axle responsible for the power improvements. The tuning firm supercharged the 4.2-liter V8 to produce 560 hp at 7,750 rpm and 580 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Featuring a limited slip differential, the power is sent via a bespoke rear wheel drive system. The MTM specialists claim that this is only street legal Audi R8 with the rear wheel drive system.
MTM Audi S5 Cabrio Supercharged
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.
MTM Audi TT RS
German tuning firm MTM has a long history of tuning Audi cars, and their latest project shows a powerful Audi TT RS. The company founder, Roland Mayer helped customize the Sport Quattro back in the 80’s with the turbo five-banger, and now almost 20 years later they are still consistent as ever. MTM is now able to offer three stages to boost performance numbers ranging from 340 hp to 404, to 424 horsepower. This is obtained by ECU tuning and an aftermarket exhaust system on the Audi TT RS. Torque numbers show 332 lb-ft to match the 340 hp and continue to rise along with a top speed of 185 mph.
MTM VW Golf GTI
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. So MTM refined the Golf hatchback with a boosted engine, new wheels, and a brake kit. On all fours are matte black MTM Bimoto light alloy rims wrapped in Continental XL Sportcont tires measuring 235/35/19 in size. Under the hood MTM performed some ECU tuning and added an additional air filter for the VW Golf GTI that increased the engines performance to a maximum of 270 bhp with 400 Nm of torque.
MTM Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition
The car tuning specialists from Motoren Technik Mayer, MTM released the Bentley Continental GT Birkin Edition upgrade that increases power for several Bentley models. The models are the Bentley Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur that are eligible for a result of 650 hp and 795 Nm of torque. That is a 90 hp increase from the stock numbers boosting the 0-100 km/h time to 4.9 seconds, and 0-200 km/h to 15.9 seconds with a maximum speed of 331 km/h (205 mph). The modifications required for these numbers are quite simple, an aftermarket exhaust with throttle control and minor ECU tuning is all that was needed.
MTM Audi R8
MTM known as Motoren Technik Mayer has started a program that guarantees customers a unique car tuning package, and they did just that for this bright green Audi R8. Their new program offers customizations that are made exclusively for the customer’s car, and will never be duplicated to ensure a one of a kind car. For this Audi R8, MTM chose to go with the famous GT3 Porsche green color, the exact name of the color is Porsche 2D8, and it will definitely catch everyone’s eye driving down the road. But they didn’t stop with only paint, they increased the power to 560hp and installed a new aerodynamic body kit made entirely of carbon fiber.
MTM Audi TTS
The last generation Audi TTS sports some subtle appearance tweaks that distinguish it from other TT models. It has a powerful 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder engine under the hood that generates 272 HP but the guys from MTM thought this was not enough and they prepared a full tuning package for this fast coupe. They installed a new body kit with a lot of carbon fiber elements and 9-spoke bimoto alloy rims to give a unique and sporty appearance to their TTS. Engineers from MTM modified the car’s engine and now the 2.0 TFSI quattro engine can deliver 380 HP at 6,420 rpm and a maximum torque of 494 Nm at 4,580 rpm. With a high performance exhaust, a new suspension system which lowers the car and a 6-speed S-tronic direct shift gearbox the car could reach a top speed of 265 km/h but MTM announced that it could go even faster depending on the tire size.
