MTM Cantronic: Electronic enhancement module for increased power and suspension lowering

• M-Cantronic for engine power increase
• F-Cantronic for lowering suspension
• Easy assembly and disassembly
• Re-utilisation in other vehicles possible
• M-Cantronic for 3.0 V6 TDI (such as Audi A5) and 2.0 TDI (for instance VW Tiguan)

The newest development from Motoren Technik Mayer GmbH once again places more emphasis on results versus mere appearances. The engine specialist from Wettstetten, Germany offers its newly developed MTM M-Cantronic, as an alternative to the new programming of the original engine control unit, enticing better performance and torque out of Volkswagen’s current diesel engines. With a further alternative, the F-Cantronic, MTM lays a hand on the electronically controlled suspension height. Both variations are immediately available. Further possible applications of the MTM Cantronic such as a removal of the V-max limitation are currently being developed.

M-Cantronic

The M-Cantronic is an electronic device altering the engine maps of the ECU three-dimensionally. MTM exploits the full potential of previously unused power reserves. Instead of generally raising the fuel pressure by a certain percentage and thereby possibly damaging the engine, MTM takes a softer approach. The Cantronic takes engine speed into consideration in performance optimization. It taps the RPM values from the CAN-bus (Controller Area Network), and, dependent on this, varies fuel and boost pressure. With this complex modification, the M-Cantronic offers all the advantages a conventional chip-tuning has, yet providing further amenities.

In comparison to a re-programmed original engine control unit, the M-Cantronic can be built in by customers themselves or from a garage and just as simple and in an uncomplicated manner, removed again. Following a new re-programming by MTM and an eventually necessary replacement of cable harness, the M-Cantronic may be further utilized in other vehicles. It therefore offers a better suited solution for customers that often exchange their vehicles providing convenient replacement and simple self-assembly. Given the current ecological debate, MTM pays special attention to the particle filter. In spite of a noticeable increased performance, the M-Cantronic has no negative consequences for its function and effectiveness. Even if a garage installs a software update for the engine control unit, the Cantronic remains unaffected.

MTM offers the M-Cantronic inclusive of TÜV-parts certificate and EMC-testing.

M-Cantronic for Audi A5 and the new VW Tiguan

A5 3.0 V6 TDI: One of the first applications for the M-Cantronic is the Audi A5 3.0 V6 TDI. Customers can pleasantly enjoy an overall performance from 215 kW (292 hp) between 4.000 to 4.500 rpm and a maximum torque from 580 Nm between 2.500 and 3.200 rpm. A further expansion includes a 4-pipe exhaust system. Through flow optimization, the exhaust back pressure in the system and thus temperature is lowered. In this manner, MTM achieves a further increase in power to 300 hp and an increase in torque to 585 Nm.

VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI: The new VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI is also one of the first models that MTM provides with more power through its M-Cantronic. The result is 132 kW (180 hp) at 4100 rpm and powerful 360 Nm at 2500 rpm. For a further ounce of performance caters a new exhaust system with two double-end tailpipes. MTM is just preparing the total power hammer: a modified turbocharger and specially tuned exhaust system together with the Cantronic generate breathtaking 210hp. Better braking performance guarantees a new braking system with choice of either 330, 365 or 380 mm brake discs. Agile driving characteristics are achieved by MTM suspension springs or optionally an adjustable coilover suspension. Ultimately, wheels in format 8,5x19“ ET50 or an even mightier 9x20“ ET44 complete the refined appearance of the Tiguan.

F-Cantronic

In the Volkswagen Group, there are several vehicles equipped with electronic air suspension. Again here the MTM Cantronic hooks up into CAN-Bus data stream. The electronic lowering in the form of the F-Cantronic will soon be available for the current models Audi A6, Allroad, A8 and Q7, Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur, VW models Touareg and Phaeton as well as the Porsche Cayenne.

All Cantronic variations can be ordered for immediately. The complete delivery of a Cantronic consists of the Cantronic module itself, a vehicle-specific cable harness, instructions, TÜV-approval and original MTM logo in chrome. Both Cantronic variations are available from MTM importers as well as MTM´s online shop.

It all started in 1985 with the first Quattro, unleashing a fascination for vehicles that has remained with us ever since. It’s no surprise, after all, as a young engineer in the mid 80s I was involved in the development of the now legendary five-cylinder in-line Audi Quattro engine. In 1990 I established the company mtm, today our product range covers models form Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Bentley.

Back then no one could envision the company’s potential, but we possessed a unique devotion and enthusiasm. In 1992 we further developed the Audi five-cylinder in-line Quattro engine, with the mtm–upgrades it achieved well over 400 HP and was the first street licensed Audi worldwide, to brake the 300 km/h sound barrier. We are still as passionate in tending to this and other classic models today as we were back then.

Some highlights from our company are projects like the Aztec designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Apollo and the development of the supercharger for the Spyker and the Venturi GT3. It’s this know how that we have applied to the V8- supercharger for street use. The latest example of our passion is our ongoing mtm-bimoto-project, a 2 engine vehicle based on the Audi TT. This extraordinary vehicle which confirmed a speed of 374 km/h in "auto motor und sport" magazine’s test on the Italian Nardo in 2003, marking it the fastest ever street licensed vehicle tested by this highly reputable technical magazine. In July 2007 the now more than 1000bhp strong mtm TT bimoto driven by Florian Gruber hit a new top speed of 393km/h setting a new official record for the top speed on the test track in Papenburg.

We share a passion and bonding with you as customer and don’t build cars to satisfy our personal vanity, instead we offer sensible, discreetly packaged individualised reconstructions. We not only promise you more performance and torque, but a completely personalised vehicle concept.

All our developments are carried out in-house or at our affiliated development company Wetec Engineering. By the series transformation we apply products from original equipment manufacturers, exclusive suppliers and our partners Michelin, Continental, KW and Performance Friction, in order to guaranty maximum driving fun, safety and stability irrespective of if we reprogramme the engine management system for an Audi A3 or performed a complete reconstruction of an Audi RS6.

All our vehicles and developments are meticulously tested at our mtm-test centre and mtm vehicles are frequently pushed to extremes by race motor sport masters like Walter Röhrl, Armin Schwarz or Florian Gruber on the North Curve at the Hockenheimring as well as at the High Speed Oval in Nardo. We are particularly proud of our two fully air refrigerated rolling roads.
