RevoZport sharpens up the Volkswagen Golf GTI and R (VIDEO)
AdvertisementRevoZport has released an upgrade program for the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the meaner R.
First up, the Golf VII GTI has received a more aggressive body featuring carbon fiber front spoiler lip, side skirts and rear lip along with a roof-mounted wing and a vented hood also made from carbon fiber. It now benefits from a titanium exhaust system which is 50 percent lighter than the stock stainless steel exhaust together, along with a stage two induction and remapped ECU which has bumped output of the four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine from 230 HP (169 kW) to more than 290 HP (213 kW).
The Golf VII R has similar body tweaks which include a carbon Kevlar composite hood with cooling vents and ducts, carbon rear spoiler and wing, as well as bigger alloy wheels and a double deck front splitter. By installing a new intake system, titanium exhaust and ECU, the four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engine has gained an extra 40 HP (29 kW) so it now develops 340 HP (250 kW).
