MTM Massages the Audi RS5, Top Speed Increased to 303km/h (188mph)

In one of its more 'lighter' tuning proposals, MTM has released details on its new line of performance upgrades for the Audi RS5 coupe. Instead of fiddling around with the RS5's 450HP V8 engine to increase the car's top speed, the German tuning simply reprograms the factory electronic speed limiter of 250km/h or 280 km/h, allowing the coupe to reach a maximum velocity of 303 km/h or 188mph. The cost for the removal of the speed limiter is a hefty €1,499 or a little over US$1,900 at today's exchange rates.

MTM's program also includes a stainless steel sports exhaust system with throttle valves for €2,998 (US$3,850) and nine-spoke alloy rims, which are available in sizes 19", 20" and 21", with prices starting from €2,249 (US$2890). According to the tuner, an individually adjustable spring-kit is in development and will be offered later this year.

Achieving a top speed of 393km/h – 244mph, MTM’s TT Bimoto set a new official record last week for the top speed on the test track in Papenburg.

According to MTM, the Bimoto record ride was achieved in the second run of two trails, under windy conditions, partial rain and temperatures of around 20 degree Celsius – 60 Fahrenheit.
