Default 420HP Audi S3 Cabrio by MTM

I wouldn't mind that sedan version. And what is up with the price tag?



from the article:
Once MTM's engineers get a hold of the inline-four and mess around with the turbo and the electronic systems (a €14,890 job), it jumps to 426PS (420hp) at 6,350 rpm and 530Nm at 3,100 rpm. This allows the convertible model to hit 100km/h (62mph) in just 4.4 sec and 200km/h (124mph) in 14.4 sec, while topping out at 270km/h (168mph).

German tuners have a tendency to charge ridiculous prices for what amount to an ECU reflash. I didn't read the article but I'm willing to bet that the 14K Euro price doesn't even include an Exhuast or an Intake. For that price in the USA you could get an ECU tune, Full Exhaust to include DownPipe, Intake, Wheels, Brakes, Suspension, and still have about 5k left over. Crazy

I'm not one to quote 0-60 times but at 420hp, surely it is faster than 4.4 sec?

I think they are being super conservative, not sure why?

Default Being a cabrio is heavier than sedan

I would guess is at least 200 lb heavier than the sedan which slows it a bit 0:60.
