The Volkswagen Eos has a little bit of a bad reputation in the U.S. It's cute looks, 2.0-liter 200 hp engine, and extra weight from the folding hardtop ensures the fanboys stay away in droves.

In Europe its different. The Eos can be had with a 3.2-liter V6 making 250 hp. Since this engine is off the VW parts bin shelf, its also shared with other cars like the Audi A4->ke1087. This means there are plenty of tuners that already have parts ready to spice up the Eos. So tuners like B&B can put real wind in your (European) hair.

With modifications that mainly include turbochargers, B&B can upgrade the engine to 360, 400, 450, and 500 hp. The highest level of this modification can propel the Eos from 0-100kph (62mph) in 4.2 seconds all the way up to its top speed of 308km/h (192mph).
