For the low sum of €85,577, which comes to about $96,300, MTM will sell you its new S3 Cabriolet. That includes the cost of acquiring a new S3 Cabrio that leaves Audi’s factory with a 2.0-liter turbo delivering 300PS (296hp) and 380Nm for a 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.4 sec and a limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph).

Once MTM’s engineers get a hold of the inline-four and mess around with the turbo and the electronic systems (a €14,890 job), it jumps to 426PS (420hp) at 6,350 rpm and 530Nm at 3,100 rpm. This allows the convertible model to hit 100km/h (62mph) in just 4.4 sec and 200km/h (124mph) in 14.4 sec, while topping out at 270km/h (168mph).

The rest of the money goes for a new front brake system with 380mm discs, a KW V1 suspension kit, 20-inch wheels on 235/20 tires, decorative racing stripes, and carbon fiber rear diffuser, front lip spoiler, mirror caps and engine cover. The price also includes a carbon fiber trimmed steering wheel, dashboard and seat backs, plus LED door lights.

The MTM S3 Cabrio will join the firm’s new 802PS Talladega S Audi S8 at the Geneva Motor Show.
