Audi S5 GT Supercharged by MTM

The production Audi S5 draws its power from its 4.2L V8 FSI engine producing 349 horsepower and 440Nm of torque, but clearly this is not enough in the eyes of Audi tuner MTM. Their new tuning package bursts the power banks of this baby increasing total output to 505 horsepower (equates to 120 hp per liter) and 546Nm of Torque. This boosts the S5's performance figures up to M3 territory with a 0-100km/h time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h.

As the name suggests, MTM has added a supercharger to the V8 unit which can lay claim to being the main reason behind the power increase and it is backed up by a flow-optimized 4-pipe stainless steel sports exhaust system. To counter the heating effect the extra power generates, you will also find an MTM intercooler housing with integrated water cooling ensures that the engine can always generate maximum performance.


To further compliment the system the MTM S5 GT Supercharged gets a new brake system with 8-piston fixed calipers which allows the car to decelerate from 100-0 km/h within about 35 meters. Other features include a tuned coilover suspension and MTM styled 21'' rims.

VW Golf IV by Mattig

There are no shortages of Golf IVs on the road and German styling tuner, Mattig, has got an all new kit for it. The center point of the kit is the Audi single frame grill integration with front fascia plus hood extensions for that angry eyebrow look. The headlamps housings get the black paint treatment with chrome xenon lamp hardware. Side mirrors get integrated turn signals while the clear lens tailamps get LEDs. Side skirts and the rear fascia are modestly trimmed with 4 pipe exhaust tips cleanly sitting within. Lastly, the 5-piece rear roof spoiler completes the look.

Press release:

VW Golf IV Gets Enhanced Appearance from Mattig

  • Sporty body kit
  • Car styling programme with front-/rear aprons, lighting and aerodynamics
  • Components that fit like a glove
  • with TÜV– parts approval certificate
Mattig has really gone to work on the Golf IV, making sure the somewhat ‘greying’ compact vehicle is reborn with a much more sporty look. This has been made possible with the new Mattig body kit, which makes the Golf look fantastic. A number of accessories provide the perfect finishing touch.

A new apron at the front with two large air inlets, right and left, guarantee a more easily remembered ‘face’. Mattig prepared the extravagantly styled component for use with an Audi single-frame grille. Mattig is offering a bonnet extension for the front edge of the bonnet to protect it against damage, just in case. Mattig also has an alternative for the headlights. A combination of black and chrome coloured parts gives them a cool look by day and by night. The Mattig headlight covers give it that famous “dangerous” look.

The Mattig side skirts create a visual 'lower-lying' effect and a considerably more solid appearance. The Mattig sports mirrors are another special detail, with easily visible, integrated indicators. Impressive appearance and safety at the same time! For the rear end Mattig has designed a rear apron extension with conspicuously formed air outlets into which, for example, the end pipes of the four-pipe exhaust system fit perfectly. A guarantee for hot-blooded optics with a real sporty look! New Mattig tail lights with LED technology also provide a particularly successful mixture of first-class safety - LEDs are much easier to see in daylight than conventional lights - and outstanding optics. Quick cornering is no longer a problem with the five-part Mattig roof spoiler as it increases the ground pressure and also looks as if it has come directly from the race track. This radical part attracts immediate attention to every Golf IV!
