Volkswagen Singapore Offers 246hp Golf GTI V50
New "Volkswagen Performance" line of power-adders supplied by U.S. tuner APR
American VW tuner APR has worked out a deal with Volkswagen of Singapore, which will sell the Alabama-based company’s performance parts as official “Volkswagen Performance” parts, starting with a new 246hp version of the fifth-generation Golf called the GTI V50.
Volkswagen will even back-up the parts with a 3 year/100,000 km (62,000 mile) warranty.
APR contributes it’s Stage 1 ECU tuning system, as well as a performance exhaust and carbon fiber airbox to bump horsepower of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine to 246hp and 282 ft-lbs of torque. This is enough to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds!
Also included in the V50 kit are a set of 18-inch Pirelli rims with 255/40/18 Pirelli P Zero rubber as well as a more powerful brake setup – the same found on the legendary R32.
The final Volkswagen Performance modification is a new aero kit.
The GTI V50 is available on in Singapore, however, the performance modifications are available world-wide through APR.
