MTM tunes the Audi S3 Cabrio to 426 PS

Audi unveiled the S3 Cabrio at last year's Geneva Motor Show and now it's returning with 426 PS (313 kW) thanks to MTM.

Set to be unveiled next week, the high-performance convertible has a 2.0-liter TSFI four-cylinder engine that has been equipped with a new turbocharger, a sports exhaust system and an MTM Engine Management Unit.  Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces an impressive 426 PS (313 kW) and 530 Nm (390 lb-ft) of torque.

This enables the drop top to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 270 km/h (167 mph).

MTM didn't have much else to say about the car but we can see carbon fiber mirror caps, high-performance brakes and unique alloy wheels.  The model also has carbon fiber trim, carbon fiber front seat backs and a carbon fiber engine cover - among other things.
