The 362 hp package is the top of the line version and includes B&B high-grade steel exhaust before pipe for the reduction of exhaust counter-pressure and exhaust gas temperature, Change of electronic, Optimization and revision of the electronic characteristic diagram ignition system, increase of the load printing around ca.0, 25bar, Adjustment of the electronic characteristic diagrams to the increased load printin, Optimization of the sucking in ways and air circulation, Modification of the igniting and fuel injection system.

Pretty hefty ha! If you don’t need all that, they also offer 280 and 310 hp versions as well.

The full-on package costs neatly 9,000 euro, but it’s worth it seeing as it reduced 0 to 100 km/h acceleration to 4.7 seconds and increases the top speed to 278 km/h.

Visuals? Well, apart from the wheels and the graphics, the edition 35 features remain intact.

As always, they first got busy with the engines, all of them, and gave them each a bunch of extra horses.

The successful 2.0 TDI version now offers strong 170 HP/125 kW (series standard: 140 HP/103 kW) or 195 HP/143 kW (series standard: 170 HP/125 kW). With the economical turbo petrol engine with 1.4 litre cubic capacity a dynamic 210 HP (154 kW) is available instead of the standard 160 HP (118 kW). The fact that the fuel consumption does not increase as a result is a matter of course at ABT Sportsline. The sportiest Tiguan is the one with the 2.0-TSI engine. The machinery is currently undergoing extensive testing but the technicians have already revealed that – depending on the series performance – either over 210 HP (154 kW) or as much as 250 HP (184 kW) will be reached.

As for the looks, they offer ABT designer light alloy wheels in 18 to 20 inch, ABT suspension, and an aero kit including:

• ABT front grill
• ABT door strip attachements
• ABT rear skirt set with exhaust system
• ABT rear wing

Don’t worry though, as there are many tuners out there that can offer you what VW won’t.

Check out the Volkswagen Golf R by Siemoneit Racing, a 530 hp super Golf! The Volkswagen Golf 6 from the R20 Series shown here was first of all given a carbon-fibre bonnet to reduce weight. After that, the development of the in-house exhaust system followed in order to bring the new engine electronics up to performance and rpm ranges that are just not possible with the series production equipment.

The end result is top performance of 355 PS and 485 Nm. But this is not even the end of the story. Siemoneit is able to convert the Golf onto a Monster wih 530 hp output. Granted, it’s going to be unusable, but how awesome is that having 500 hp in a Golf!

Of course this one is the creation of German Volkswagen tuner ABT and they call it the Speedle, but the inspirations are taken from the good ol’ Herbie. With a unique body kit and that paint job on the top, it certainly is a head-turner. Probably not in a good way, but still!

The front spoiler, rear skirt insert, rear skirt set with rear muffler and oval exhaust pipes, or even the side skirts underline the classic bodywork of the Beetle. With the front and rear headlight brows the car looks pleasant, fresh and sharp.

And it’s not just the looks either. ABT has an extensive engine tuning program. These levels are realistic, based on the experience of the Development Department at ABT: with the 1.2 TSI the series standard 105 HP (77 kW) will be increased to around 140 HP (103 kW), while with the 1.4 TSI (series standard: 160 HP/118 kW) around 210 HP (154 kW) can be expected. “The two-litre turbo VW offers 200 HP or 147 kW, and we expect that the ABT version will provide 230/240 HP”, says Hans-J?rgen Abt. The diesel versions of the Beetle will be economically-conscious Speedles: the 1.6 litre diesel engine will provide 125 HP (92 kW) instead of 105 HP (77 kW), and the 2.0 TDI will have 170 HP or 125 kW (series standard: 140 HP/103 kW).

The official debut of the car is set for a major motor show later this year.

The German SUV has been given a through makeover with a massive body kit consisting of flared arches, bumper extensions, side skirts, and rear diffuser and a two-tone interior leather trimming which also covers doors and armrests.

Called the Royal GT, this Touareg also benefits from new set of wheels, from 20 to 22 inch available.

Last but not least, you get an engine treatment that upgrades the 3.0 TDI CR from 240 PS to 275 PS and the torque from 500 Nm to 580 Nm. I

The luxury sedan is slammed on R12 Nero rims in 20-inch size and 225/30ZR tires. The killer view of the car is further improved with a matte grey foiling job and some graphics.

KBR has also tuned the engine up to 260 hp and installed a sport exhaust system that gives the car a soundtrack that goes well with its aggressive looks and mean color.

The cost of all this greatness is a rather hefty 11,000 euro.

So, what does it have to offer? Well in brief, 19 bhp and 24 lb.ft of torque.

And that extra power will result in a sharper car which can overtake more easily. The good thing is fuel consumption won’t be affected by this modification and it will be invisible to VW dealers.

The price of this kit is £528.45 excluding VAT.

OK let’s cut to the chase. This Golf has 790 hp and 1200 Nm of torque! The top speed is not announced, maybe they didn’t dare to try it, but they say it runs the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds at 216 km/h.

To get this power out of the 3.2 liter V6 engine of the car, MTE has installed gigantic turbos new injectors, modified cylinderhead, new pistons, camshafts and ECU.

To keep things under control the car is equipped with KW suspension, semi-slick tires, and Brembo braking package.
