GM Cadillac STS 2008 Interior Inside

General Motors released some images of the interior of the future 2008 Cadillac STS. Altough the American manufacturers suffer from a lack of imagination, this is not the case with the new Cadillac STS. General Motors tried to be as innovative as it can be. This generation of buttons and dashboard components have the nickname “black tie” because they are elegant and they go with anything. I found this images at carsandtuning.org

Bertone Fiat Concept

Bertone and Fiat presented at the Geneva Motor Show a new concept car. The unnamed project is made to resemble the 1947 FIAT 500, the one Nuccio Bertone used to drive on weekends. The concept sports car will commemorate 95 years since the company was founded. Quite a looker if you ask me.

MTM tuned Audi S3 330 HP

Motoren Technik Mayer GmbH from Wettstetten, Germany, laid their hands on the new referee within the sport compact car arena. The Audi S3 creates great competition within its own corporation to Golf GTI and R32 as well the bavarian colleagues, BMW with the mighty 130i.

Better engine for better power

The TFSI-motor borrowed from parent company VW, is really ideal for tuning revisions. Directly off the assembly line, the turbo engine of Audi S3 already has an impressive 265 HP. One would imagine this alone is enough.

Yet, just experiencing the difference proves a visit to mtm is really worth while. In its first stage, mtm replaces the motor electronics.

This procedure alone upgrades power to 310 HP/228 kW as well as torque to 400 Nm (Series: 350 Nm). Whoever selects a mtm resonator and the mtm rear silencer receives an additional 5 HP and 5 Nm. T

he hottest version receives even more components from mtm to boot. With the mtm front silencer and a front pipe with metallic catalysatic converter, performance increases to a powerful 330 HP and torque of 420 Nm. With this addition, in just 5,1 seconds 0 to 100 km/h is reached and a maximum speed up to 264 km/h obtainable.
Naturally, mtm ensures durability for all its parts. Customers benefit from the extensive experience mtm has gathered for example from the TT bimoto®.

As can be expected, all parts described above for the exhaust system are available seperately for the Audi S3 2.0 TFSI. Either the rear silencer with exhaust flap control alone or together with the complete catalytic converter system. Both tail pipes, each with a diameter of 80 mm, look far more impressive than the series-produced parts. From each excapes a sound that one generally only experiences on the race track.
