JE DESIGN has announced today their new Volkswagen Golf GTI program which offers a less expensive alternative for the new Golf R. That's right. The JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R kit gives your GTI the same performance levels as a Golf R at only a fraction of the price. The JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R program takes the standard output of the car from 210 hp to 270 hp (199 kW) and 370 Nm of torque. the engine remains the same 2.0-liter turbo. The top speed of the JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R is rated by the tuner at 257 km/h and the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is 6.4 seconds.
The whole performance conversion to the JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R takes just one day and is priced at 1549 Euro. The kit include an ECU
re-calibration and the tuner offers a one-year warranty for the engine, turbocharger, gearbox and drivetrain.
The JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R program also includes various visual mods including a front spoiler with a center carbon-look splitter, side skirts, a rear skirt with an integrated diffuser and a new sports exhaust system.
For better handling, the JE DESIGN Volkswagen Golf GTI R features a 35 mm lowered ride height and new 19 inch rims.
JE DESIGN Press Release:
Up to now, whoever wanted to get behind the wheel of a 270-hp VW Golf had to invest more than 36,000 Euro in a Golf R . But now JE DESIGN provides the same performance for the Golf GTI. What's more, the aerodynamics package and the light alloy wheels take care of the individual look, and the new rear silencer provides the sporty sound.
JE DESIGN boosts the Golf VI GTI's performance by more than a quarter. Instead of 210 hp (155 kW), the 2.0-litre turbo motor now produces a full 270 hp (199 kW). The maximum torque rockets from 280 to 370 Newton metres, and now the Wolfsburg car reaches a top speed of 257 kph, up from its previous 240 kph. From a standing start the JE DESIGN Golf saves half a second and makes it to the 100-kph mark in only 6.4 seconds.
JE DESIGN offers optimisation of the engine control system in their own workshop in Leingarten,
Germany or collects the dismantled engine control unit by courier and returns it on the following day. The price of 1549 Euro including VAT even includes a one-year warrantee on the motor, turbo-charger, gearbox and drivetrain. For vehicles less than two years old and which have driven fewer than 100,000 kilometres, an extension for a further year can be arranged for only 199 Euro.
The GTI by JE DESIGN with the self-confident aerodynamics package demonstrates the new performance capability. The new front spoiler with the central, carbon-look spoiler sword is available for as little as 349 Euro. The side skirts for 299 Euro also underline the sporty look and the rear skirt insert in carbon-look
for only 249 Euro. On the left and right sides, the trapezoid, stainless steel sports endpipes provide the relevant resonance (899 Euro).
Thanks to the lowering springs for 159 Euro, the Golf sits 35 millimetre closer to the tarmac. Consequently the 8x19-inch, matt black, light alloy wheels Multispoke with the matt silver edge trim look particularly sporty. With size 225/35 high-performance tyres, JE DESIGN offers the complete wheel set for a mere 2930 Euro.
As is normal with JE DESIGN, all components come with a TÜV Certificate so that the modifications can be registered in the vehicle's documents without further ado.
