Audi S5 GT Supercharged by MTM





 

The MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged has been launched by the specialists from Motoren Technik Mayer from Wettstetten, Germany. Powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine, the MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged received a compressor that has increased the power from 354 hp to an amazing 505 hp at 7190 rpm and 546 Nm of torque. The MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged reach its top speed at 300 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h takes only just 4.3 seconds.


Comes with a four tailpipe stainless steel sports exhaust system, the MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged also equipped with 8-piston fixed calipers, a new coilover suspension, and 380×34 mm pitted brake discs. With these brakes equipped, the MTM Audi S5 GT Supercharged can stop its run from 100 km/h in just 35 m.





Press Release


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 380×34 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 10.5×21” 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!
