MTM Equips 2007 Audi S3 With A Designed Brake System
Audi’s S3 is already a very powerful car, but with the help of German tuner Motoren-Technik-Mayer (MTM), the car was equipped with so much more.
The majority of the of the Audi S3 remained stock including the driveline and transmission and the 2.0-liter direct injection turbocharged four-cylinder all retained their original physical properties.
But what this powerful racer’s greatest strength come from its specifically designed brake system. MTM used the slogan “ Races are won on brakes.” MTM improves deceleration on the front axle in three upgrades. For the first upgrade, MTM provides the S3 with 8-piston-fixed calipers and 330×32 mm diameter sized semi-perforated brake discs. Even more impressive is the next higher upgrade of completely perforated brake discs with diameter dimension of 356×34mm. They must sustain pressure from 8-piston-brake calipers. Last mentioned, MTM also uses within the largest of the three brake systems. Here the semi-perforated brake discs measure 380×34 mm in diameter and when they are gripped by the calipers, the driver has the feeling of grabbing an anchor. Every package contains both the steel flex brake lines as well as additional parts. A unique element for the these discs is the semi-perforations as they do not go through the disc completely. They show optics and characteristics of a completely perforated-through disc, but avoid the normally found crack formations followed by extended use.
Motoren Technik Mayer GmbH from Wettstetten, Germany also equipped the Audi S3 with power between 310 & 330 HP and torque of 400 to 420 Nm, Vmax up to 264 km/h, acceleration 0-100 in 5,1s, stainless steel exhaust system with metallic catalytic converter, double-flow resonator, n, sport springs or coilover suspension.
