MTM Golf VI GTI / GTD Tuning Packages Announced German tuner takes VW Golf GTI up to 310 hp By Alex Ricciuti February 10, 2010 9:00 PM Filed Under: German, Tuners, Volkswagen One of the advantages of buying a VW is the litany of tuning possibilities to be had with one. Here, German tuner MTM does a number on the Golf VI GTI and GTD models. Namely, dialing their respective horsepower figures up more than can readily be had with other brands. Let's start with the GTI. The Wettstetten-based tuner offers to take the grandaddy of all GTI models up to 310 hp (228 kW) with some ECU tinkering and its own MTM turbocharger. Of course, one can opt for one of the other 3 ECU-tuning packages available, which start with an upgrade to only 270 hp. The 310 hp GTI by MTM comes with 410 Nm of torque, a top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph) and a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 5.7 seconds. The VW Golf GTD also gets a serious treatment, with a power boost up to 205 hp (151 kW) and 380 Nm of torque. That brings its 0 to 100 km/h time down to 7.1 seconds as opposed to the standard model's 7.8. Other options on offer by MTM for the Golf GTI include 19-inch BIMOTO 9-spoke wheels, MTM brake system (380 mm discs), MTM's quad-exhaust system, and the tuner's in-house suspension kit that can lower the front of the GTI 30 mm. The GTD is also offered with an MTM (quad) sport exhaust system, MTM suspensions, brake system and sport rims. Prices for the GTI tuning start at €2,698, including VAT for a 60 hp boost and 18-inch rims. For the GTD, the power boosting can be had for €800 while the 18-inch rims are €1,499. An extra €400 will get you the 19-inch ones.
Love the MK6 so much, I would seriously consider trading in my MK5 for a MK6 if I could. The MTM version is great! So when ya getting one Phil?
Tisk tisk, and you're supposed to be a moderator...: I agree those wheels are sick. I've always preferred the simple style wheels, besides a few like the BMW CSL and BBS CH.
the mtm exhuasts are always awesome. I got to drive an stage2+ audi s4 with one and it was nice and quiet except when you stepped on it, then it would come alive.
spammer/bot. gotta get someone to ban that thing or delete that account asap. otherwise its gonna spam up the forums with stupid posts like that.
