Thanks Fred for this great MTM news update about the B7 RS4 project. I like this new CF hood, it looks very agressive and suitable for the new RS4. I'm sure with his new rear silencers this V8 engine sounds even more badass. :revs:

Definitely very nice parts. I can't tell you the figures but the RS4 V8 is quite a beast with potential.....

Cheers,

Now see, why can't MTM produce a CF hood for the RS 6 that looks like that one? Instead of the butt ugly abomination "louvers" they have for it!

That one is sooooo much better! :heart: Also like how they painted the sides of the hoods but left the center for all to see!

Ben:addict:

BTW, do they make one for the RS 4 MkI?

It's really hard to tell from that pic, but I'm just going to say no on that one.

Officially, this RS4 V8 MTM has no Carbon Fiber Roof....

Damnit, I can never see your pictures, Mr Balsen. Always red Xes. I seem to be the only one. What's up with that?

I can see them now. :0:

Slants in the hood, scoops in the bumper (next to the foglight)... something in there needs a lot of air. The pictures seem to be shot in such a way that you wouldn't see a potential intercooler. And in the shot of the underside the exhaust has been obscured.

Something tells me this is going to be a lot more than a supercharger kit.

the ducts in the spoiler are there on the car already, they've just taken the honeycomb mesh off ;)

:doh:

Still, I'm going to predict that this car will try to match or exceed the 602hp/720Nm of the previous MTM RS4. Their supercharged V8s run up to 500hp/560Nm.

The CF hood is probably there to offset the weight of the additional hardware.

I can't see the CF hood making a significant difference being that the RS4's is already made of aluminum.

Probably only a few pounds, but it looks nice.:D

CF Hood, I would guess is more for heat venting then anything.

As for trying the match the previous RS4 power output, I think that will be a challenge to, say the least. They will have to rebuild the power plant and lower compression as it is already pretty strung out. Not too mention I have heard reports of stock B7 RS4 motors burning a litre of oil every 500 km, seems to be quite a bit.

I'd agree with Bauer on that one. When it comes to outright power, nothing is easier than a pair of turbos.:thumb:

The CF Hood is there for the look and also to evacuate the heat. Not a surprise actually when you see this high output engine in such a small space. As for the kompressor kit, Mr Mayer will reach new levels.....
