It's been a busy few weeks for the folks at MTM. Hot on the heels of the recent MTM upgrade package for the Audi TTS, they've gone and done it again, this time turning their attention to the 4.2-liter V8 powered Audi R8 - Opting this time to fit a screw-type supercharger to the V8 as well as ECU and handling upgrades. As part of the specification the usual parts are also upgraded, as we see with the signature MTM bi-moto lightweight alloy wheels, this time pumped up to 20 inches, to accomodate those english county sized 380mm brake disks (rotors).

Performance is increased by a mere 130BHP over its stock counterpart and acceleration to 60MPH is also lowered as a result. No doubt the 100 lb/ft torque increase has a part to play, also.

• Engine - V8 compressor with twin-srew belt driven supercharger
  
• Capacity - 4163 cc
• Drilling x Stroke - 84,5 x 92,8 mm
• Densification (Compression) - 12.5 : 1
• Gearbox - 6-speed manual gearbox
• Power - 560 PS (412 kW) (552 BHP)
• Torque - 580 Nm (427 lb/ft)
• Max Speed - limited 187MPH (195 MPH with limiter removed)
• Acceleration 0 -100/200 km/h: 3.9 sec./12.5sec

And, just in case you're wondering what all that gumph above sounds like....
