Audi A6 3.0 BiTDI tuned by MTM

The 3.0 L BiTDI engine that Audi has developed has pretty much flipped what we think of diesel engines – that they are torque loaded but underpowered – on its rear. MTM has taken the A6 3.0 BiTDI and turned it into even more powerful of a ride, as well as helping look and handle a little better.

The A6 3.0 BiTDI’s body remains essentially unchanged with MTM’s package and we don’t mind one bit. The A6’s body is pretty sexy, for a station wagon, so we are happy to see that MTM didn’t go overboard with the body kit for it. The only styling change added to the A6 are a set of custom wheels. There are actually a variety of Bimoto wheels available from MTM for this package, which range from €1729 to €5230.

Helping the handling and ride height is an aftermarket F-Cantronic ECU for the air suspension, which allows you to drop the car’s center of gravity up to 25 mm (0.98 inches). This increases both handling and gives the A6 a more stylish look. This ECU runs €1740.

Helping the A6 come to a halt is a brake upgrade that includes 380 x 34 mm (14.96- x 1.33-inch) rotors with 8 piston calipers squeezing them. This kit runs €4900, but you can opt for another upgrade that includes 405 x 36 mm (15.94- x 1.41-inch) rotors for an additional €1500, but to get this size, you must opt for at least 20 inch wheels.

The engine sees some significant increases too, as the base ECU modification, which costs €1700 will net you 365 HP and 759 NM (560 lb-ft) of torque. This is a 57 HP and 109 NM (81 lb-ft) bump from stock. You can pump this up to a full 381 HP and 779 NM (575 lb-ft) of torque for an extra €100.

In all, this package will run between €10069 and €15170, depending on the options you choose. That’s quite a hefty fee, but this will make your A6 a true screamer.
