MTM is not known for its restraint - it is, after all, the same company that fitted two engines into an Audi TT to set a speed record at Nardo. Its engineers have now taken the tuner’s brand of high-power, no-holds-barred modification to the internal workings of the new Audi S4 Avant, already one of the most potent of the Audi S cars.

Just on the market, MTM has injected the new 3.0L supercharged S4 with more power and driving dynamics. The V6 engine in the standard version comes with a respectable 333hp (248kW) on tap, but it really comes alive after the MTM treatment. With this package the modified S4 is able to challenge the bigger RS models with their V8 engines. A total of 430hp (320kW) and 380lb-ft (515Nm) of torque was measured on the MTM dynamometer.

With drive sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and quattro AWD, the modified S4 will sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.7 seconds – 0.4 seconds faster than the stock version.

Beside improved performance, MTM also offers for the S4 a custom exhaust kit, bimoto wheels (19 and 21in) and MTM height adjustable suspension and performance brakes. This latter element comes with 380mm discs and 8-piston calipers.

    99% of the time the stock version is better looking than the tuned up version. This one is no exception. Those wheels on the tuner just scream underachievement while the ones on the stock car are beautiful.

    But answer me this, how can they increase power by 100bhp and yet shave only 0.4 from the 0-60 time?

    And the negative streak continues

    i kind of like it...the colour is not a good choice for a tuner, i woudl have it in black and it would look very good !

    Hector - you shoudl know this. 5.1sec down to 4.7sec is a very good improvement. the lower the time, the harder it is to generate the power and get it to the road to improve the time
