German tuner, Rieger brings us a new tuning package for the sixth generation Golf GTI. The package includes aesthetic modifications, a set of wheels, and a sport exhaust system.
The tuning package includes a lip spoiler kit with a fiber glass mesh and ABS inserts, lip spoiler middle splitter, side skirts with cutouts, a roof spoiler and a rear bumper diffuser made in carbon fiber. The exterior package is finished with a set of 20" OZ brand alloy wheels.
Rieger also added a sports exhaust system with an ESD exhaust sound control system and two oval tips.
Remember the Golf VI GTI RZR presented back in January? Well, today, Revozport finally unveiled the production version that comes with three upgrade stages.
The aerodynamic package includes: new front bumper, 2 adjustments for the front splitter, an approx 4kg lightweight carbon Kevlar reinforced bonnet, wider tracks at the front and rear, new side skirts, and topped off with 19 inch rims and wider tires.
Thanks to an ECu update, exhaust system, and intercooler, the maximum output has been raised to 300 hp.
The German tuner, Je Design, revealed the first details on their customization program for the new Volkswagen Golf VI today. The tuner says they will offer a complete bodykit, lowered springs or coilovers, multispoke alloy-wheels, sport-exhaust systems, exclusive leather interior, and a performance upgrade.
While there are no other details offered, you can see that the aerodynamic package will offer a new front spoiler, side skirts, and a rear diffuser.
The tuner gave no details on the engine’s upgrades, but we expect them to be impressive.
Stay tuned for more details!
Volkswagen has announced that they will be adding a sporty model division to their lineup. The Volkswagen R GmbH division was developed and is expected to turn out sportier versions of Volkswagen’s existing models using the R and R Line names. Examples of that are the already previewed Volkswagen Golf R and Volkswagen Scirocco R. Europe is also seeing the Passat CC R Line that was previewed at the Detroit Auto Show.
“Our vehicles contribute to the emotionalisation and growth of Volkswagen brand,” explained Ulrich Riestenpatt gt. Richter, General Manager of Volkswagen R GmbH.
Volkswagen undoubtedly wants to take advantage of the popularity behind the BMW M series and the Mercedes AMG division by creating a separate division of their own. Their vision is to supply the market with an answer to its demand for “individualised vehicles with contemporary sportiness and exclusivity.” Volkswagen R GmbH will be responsible for developing, implementing, and selling the R and R Line cars. These cars will be “turbocharged” versions of their already existing models and will also come with unique R line packages as well as Volkswagen exclusive items.
We expect the Volkswagen Golf R to hit the US market in late 2011 and hope the next R Line model follows shortly thereafter.

And as with most of Abt Sportsline’s works-of-art, the tuned up Volkswagen Golf sure does live up to that ’R’ (racing) label attached to it after the tuner spiked up the Golf’s engine to deliver 310 horsepower with a 0-60 sprint time in 5.2 seconds. The Golf R’s top speed was also raised to 162 mph.
Overall, Abt Sportsline’s tuning package for the Golf R comes with a new front skirt, daytime running lights, front lip spoiler and a choice between 18-inch or 19-inch wheels.
