Say what you want about Audi’s straight-six engine - that it’s to old-school or that it sounds bad - but this things packs a punch beyond what people would expect. A V10 or V12 might sound like a symphony, but German tuners MT have managed to make the turbo-five sound like a nuclear bomb went off.
This car spotted in Monaco recently by Marchettino is what MTM got when they went all out on the RS3 Sportback. There are no compromises here, just a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five generating 472 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque.
MTM says that going all the way will cost you €10,600, but you won’t find another hatchback with almost 500 hp for that kind of money. It can probably out-sprint anything under €100,000 and probably belongs on a track, since it’s also got a hardcore interior and suspension setup.
