In the black painted folksvagenovskuyu logo, but for some reason only the front. However, looks are not important, since the focus of this project was given to the engine. You can choose between two versions of two-liter engine pumping TSI: Budget and "top". In the former case the program is changing the engine control unit (698 euros) and installing a new exhaust system in stainless steel (1749 euros). As a result, this engine develops 270 hp instead of All 350 hp and 485 Nm of torque.

After all, even the "stock» Volkswagen Golf R has a very good dynamic performance: acceleration to the first hundred took 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 250 km / h. What can we say about the hatchback with 530 hp engine in! Similarly, the engine did not have even sports cars such as Ferrari California and the Aston Martin DBS. The question is - and it even needs such a car? Because even serial Volkswagen Golf R is designed for "advanced" drivers, and are there many people who can cope with the 530-strong "mad stool" that engineers have built Siemoneit Racing? It seems that in this case, a sense of proportion has changed the German tuner.
