(from MTM Press Release) Under pressure: MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged
505 hp and 546 Nm torque
Top speed: 300 km/h, 0-100 in 4.3 secs
4-pipe stainless steel sport exhaust system
Bigger brake system for maximum deceleration
Coilover suspension, amended axle geometry
Motoren Technik Mayer from Wettstetten, Germany, puts the Audi S5 under pressure. As “MTM GT Supercharged” the sporty coupe's supercharged engine demonstrates impressive performance data. Together with bigger brakes, a coilover suspension and other minor changes, the result is an overall package which can take on the race track.
Pressurized
Watch out, when it gets
loose! At the slightest pressure on the accelerator the MTM S5 GT
Supercharged rockets forward with brute force. The compressor added
to the Audi 4.2 liter V8 by MTM is what makes this possible. An MTM
intercooler housing with integrated water cooling ensures that the
engine can always generate maximum performance. Overall, instead of
the stock 354 hp, there is now all of 505 horsepower at 7190 rpm
available. This makes an engine output of 120 hp per liter! The
torque boost by 106 to 546 Nm emerges in vehement intermediate
bursts, to which the driver can get addicted. The sprint from 0-100
km/h takes 4.3 seconds, turning many super sports cars green with
envy. And up to its top speed of 300 km/h it can hold its own with
any of them.
The evenly powerful, dynamic power display is underscored by a
flow-optimized stainless steel sports exhaust system. The goose
pimple-raising sound is released by four tailpipes, each 90 mm in
diameter.
Curve-hugging and agile
MTM equipped its GT Supercharged with a perfectly tuned coilover suspension and in addition amended the axle geometry with higher camber angles. After the change, its driving dynamism and curve-hugging characteristics are so pronounced you never want to drive straight-ahead again. The steering characteristics are more precise and the agility enhanced, while road handling remains quite neutral.
Braking
Since a performance-enhanced vehicle also has to be reined in quickly, MTM improved the brake performance, too. Consequently MTM always provides the appropriate brake system for cars of all performance classes.
In the case of MTM GT
Supercharged, the Bavarian specialists upgraded the deceleration
with a new brake system on the front axle. This is a brake system
with 8-piston fixed calipers and 380x34 mm pitted brake discs. The
package includes the flexible steel lines and attachments. With the
system the driver can decelerate the MTM GT Supercharged from 100-0
km/h within about 35 m.
The “pitted” brake discs incidentally represent a special design,
manufactured especially for MTM. Typical of “pitted” brake discs are
the holes which do not completely penetrate the disc. They look like
and share the characteristics of a perforated disc, but hinder the
crack formation which normally occurs after lengthy use.
The small difference
Optically the GT
Supercharged does not look very different from the series model.
Here MTM has gone in for understatement. Nevertheless – apart from
the MTM exhaust system's pipes – the “bimoto” MTM rims take care of
a look clearly distinguished from the series. The eye-catching
wheels are available in “shiny silver”, “titanium” and “diamond cut”
finishes. MTM provides the “bimoto” rim for the S5 – as for other A5
models too – in 10.5x21” as a complete rim set together with
295/25/ZR21 tires.
At MTM the general rule is: special wishes are met. Customization is
also carried out on an individual basis!
