The tuningexperts at Oettinger have released their latest project on the VW Golf R. With a larger turbo, exhaust system and ECU tuning they are able to boost the power output to 400PS or 396 horsepower. From the factory this 2.0-liter turbocharged engine puts down 300PS or 295 HP, so this is quite an increase for a car its size. With the modifications it can now sprint from 0 to 100 km/h or 62 mph in less than 4.0 seconds while reaching a top speed of 250 km/h or 174 mph.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen when it comes to car wraps has been done to this Volkswagen Golf MK7.

This foil wrap is the next great invention for car tuning and we can really see this taking of, but doubt the DMV will approve of your car being two different colors depending on the lighting outside.
