RS4 V8 with MTM Chip reached 282 km/h

Bonjour,

Just let you know that an Audi RS4 V8 with MTM Chip reached very recently 282 km/h:

Cheers from Paris,
Frederic

I was thinking that rs4 can reach 300km/h

**alex_s3** · February 8th, 2006, 18:01

A stock B5 RS4 does 282km/t without the sppedlimiter..

and it had speedlimiter.I think that i could see 300km/h if it had not.It stopped accelerating at 275 km/h.

**Ruergard** · February 8th, 2006, 20:38

Just skip the speedlimiter and it will be good for 300 k!

(at least I think that

)

**AndyBG** · February 8th, 2006, 20:42

Wath power increase is with that chip?

I tought that stock b7 RS4 could do that.

Old S8 can reach that speed...

Hell, my B6S4 will do 270K. It should be able to do 300K no problem.

270K

... you have the new land speed record i guess!!

But I also think 282 is quite a low topspeed for the new RS4

**alex_s3** · February 9th, 2006, 17:46

A chipped S4 B5 with stage 1 (312hp) at Dahlback does 272km/t
So a chipped RS4 B7 (420hp stock) that does 282km/t is not impressive..

I don't think i'm setting any records. I believe the top speed of the 6-Speed B6 S4 is @ 167MPH drag limited. If my math is correct, that is @ 270KPH?

I think Mc Burn had a video of himself doing a 0-270 run on here somewhere along time ago. It was pretty cool.

as i heard this video is from my country!

lol ik know 270kph is very realistic, but I said the record thing because you posted 270K... which is about 270.000kph

I was talking with a driving instructor of Audi while at the Nordschleife course organised with the RS4.
He told me that the car with no limiter (Pre production car) driven by Frank Stippler topped a 280 KPH on the long straight.

He also explained me that to reach 300KPH and over you have to start to spend some serious money to develop the aerodynamic of the Car. Due to resistance of Air you need much more BHP to increase the top speed and that would probably compromise the reliability of the powerunit.

Just found this on the MTM Homepage...
Currently only in deutsch, so I ran it through babelfish-translator...

Seems the 282 is a limited vmax modification - what does that tell you ?

Here it is:

For the new model of the AUDI RS4 with 4,2 V8 engine we developed a special kind of the Vmax abolition. In order not to impair the operating strength(more like reliability) of the high speed aggregate, we open the delimitation not completely, but set a new limit with 282km/h. This is done via change of the two ECUs. A new fact within this range is the help of different parameters in engine electronics, in order to grant an optimal achievement development and working reliability. The change can take place within 2-3 hours with us in the house, or on the transit period with one of our bases, which find you under the column mtm partners on these homepage. The costs are to euro inclusive at 1249, -. VAT, if necessary zzgl. installation or dispatch. In preparation are for this vehicle also exhaust systems, brake assemblies, wheel sets and landing gear parts. For questions our merchandisers Mr. left and Mr. Costakis are to you gladly at the disposal!

Anybody having some reliable infos for the limitation of the vmax ?

Hello,

i think too it's not impressive that a B7 RS4 can reach 282km/h as some other cars still do the same.
More precisely, i think of the M5 E60 which can with Hartge modification of the top speed reach 320km/h
You can see it here
In the future, (maybe in a few months), tuning teams such as Abt or MTM will provide such performances for "the black widow"

**CarbonFibre** · February 27th, 2006, 06:04

I love the price MTM is charging for software that doesn't even increase the performance of the engine (only delimits it). I can't expect them to have a good program out this quickly for the RS4, but that's still a ridiculous price for just a moved speed limiter. According to that translation, they didn't completely delimit it because they were afraid of blowing the engine?

**TT_soon_RS4** · February 27th, 2006, 12:48

I was told by Audi that for UK cars you can get passed the speed limiter by approaching the top speed 155mph in 5th rather than 6th. this should bypass it allowing a top speed of 180mph+. dont know where this is really true or salesman speak. Two days to go until my new baby arrives

**BullitT** · February 27th, 2006, 17:00

Lucky man TT_soon...

Please send pics when you got it!!

Hmmm... this means v-not-quite-max

speed limiter
