The Golf VI GTI has already been tuned by ABT and Mchip, but now German tuner MR Car Design have decided to have a go.
First up is their ECU upgrade, which boosts the GTI’s 2.0-litre TFSI power output by 50bhp and torque by 100Nm to a total of 260bhp and 380Nm. This drops the 0-62mph sprint to just 5.8 seconds, a feat which is aided by the Golf’s clever XDS electronic traction control, and increases top speed to 164mph.
To keep that power in check there is a new Stoptech braking system that consists of 4-piston calipers that grip 355x32mm slotted brake discs, as well as a Stahlbus brake caliper air vent plug.
The car is dropped by 50mm at the front and 40mm at the rear by fitting a KW Coilover V3 Inox system, and bursting out of the lowered wheelarches are some 19-inch Oxigin 14 alloys (8.5-inch width at the front and 9.5-inch at the rear), all wrapped in Vredestein tyres.
Finally, MR Car Design are offering to improve the golf’s soundtrack with their new sports, as well as offering a modified downpipe with sport catalyst.
Prices are available in the press release below.
