Volkswagen 235-hp 35 Edition GTI

VW 235 Edition GTI is really a jump in horsepower to 235 horsepower, or 25 far more ponies than the currently great standard GTI. The name of the special edition VW arrives like a tribute to the simple fact that the GTI continues to be available in Europe for 35 decades. Not so within the U.S., however, so the name may need to change if it in fact reaches our shores. C/D factors out the first GTI hit the States in 1983, so the 30 Edition title might be a strong chance. Obviously, meaning the 35 badging about the doorway sills, seats and fenders will require to go, but we're guessing the deletes won't be a lot trouble in any respect.Volkswagen 235-hp 35 Edition GTI

VW Scirocco SC 350 Tuned by Sportec

Cool Swiss car tuning specialist Sportec has turned its attention on the Volkswagen Scirocco with the release of a new performance package. Among other things, Sportec�s program consists of engine upgrades, a sports suspension, alloy wheels rims and other components.

For the Scirocco 2.0 TFSI 200HP, Sportec offers various performance optimizations that boost the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine�s output from 240HP to 350HP. In the most powerful version, the maximum torque takes a massive leap from 280 to 480Nm (354 lbs/ft).

To achieve these figures, the Swiss tuner�s engineers modified the 2.0 TFSI�s supercharger, updated the ECU and replaced the stock exhaust system with a new free flowing one. A carbon-fiber engine cover completes the package.

To improve the Scirocco�s handling, Sportec developed a new sports suspension that brings the coupe 35 mm closer to the ground while the coupe now sits on 20-inch alloy wheels shod in 245/30 high-performance sport tires. Finally, for the interior, the Swiss tuner offers a 4-part floor mat set made of soft velour and a multi-part carbon interior with the Sportec logo.
