Motoren Technik Mayer turns the Audi S3 Sportback into a sports car

There is no doubt that the Audi S3 Sportback is a good base for preparations. Fortunately, Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) never passes up the opportunity to offer the most succulent aesthetic and mechanical preparation on the most desired German models. Today the protagonist is this Audi S3 MTM Clubsport.

Remembering that the new Audi S3 Sportback is equipped with a 2.0-liter TFSI engine that develops 310 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. It has all-wheel drive and dual-clutch automatic transmission, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h 4.8 seconds. However, MTM thinks that little and went after something more spicy.

Best of all, we can enjoy it both in video and in pictures thanks to the Auditography staff, who had the opportunity to spend a good time with the German specialist's S3 Clubsport in Kitzbühel, Austria. There, the high-performance compact model scales the Alps with its striking bodywork and powerful sound.

Aesthetically the Audi S3 MTM Clubsport stands out for its Python Yellow & Green colors. Some of the new aerodynamic props are the prominent front bumper spoiler and the large spoiler at the rear. Both are made of carbon fiber.

MTM got rid of the original wheels to install their own 19-inch Bimoto game. Inside, the rear seats were replaced by a santoantonio. Likewise, the front seats were replaced by two Recaro Podium bucket seats matching the bodywork.

The specialist offers four power upgrades for the 2.0 TFSI engine. The simplest raises the power figures of the gasoline block up to 360 hp. This requires only software updates. Step 2 adds custom additions to get another 20 additional hp.

If we add to these improvements the improved air intake of Stage 3, the power increases to a not insignificant 430 hp. The icing on the cake is Stage 4, which includes a beefier turbocharger to extract 480 hp from the engine. Thanks to this, the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in just 3.2 seconds.
