Volkswagen tuner HS Motorsport revealed their latest work the VW Scirocco Remis at this years Worthersee tour. Their company which is based out of Munich, started by working on the 2.0 liter TSI engine to produce extra power. From the factory the VW Scirocco comes with 200 hp, so HS Motorsport installed several aftermarket parts. They started off with a new air intake and exhaust system, then added a 70 mm flame pipe, and an EU-approved catalytic converter. These modifications along with some tuning to the ECU produced 290 hp for the VW Scirocco Remis, however HS didn’t stop there. HS Motorsport promises final performance numbers to be around 320 hp after some extra tuning and parts are added.

B&B started to modify Volkswagen and Audi cars about 25 years ago and their skills and modified cars got better and better in time. Their latest tuning project is based on the new Volkswagen Scirocco, one of the most popular European cars at the moment. B&B made a special engine kit which will increase this car’s performances in 6 stages: the first stage begins with a couple of modifications at the engine electronics which boost the power to 235 HP and 340 Nm for just 998 Euro. Next stages will take the engine to 250, 265, 286, 300 and in the final EVO R stage this Scirocco will have 350 HP and 450 Nm under the hood. This is achieved by changing the car’s original engine with a special engine equipped with a bigger turbo loader, optimized crank shaft and forged pistons with modified cylinder heads.
