Mk6 Volkswagen Golf GTI

[anaksarawak]

Just a leisure question...Which BMW below RM50,000 can out run this car?thank you

German tuner Wimmer RS has unveiled this 386bhp Mk6 Volkswagen Golf GTI, which it describes as a “weapon”. By adding a new turbo and intercooler, tweaks to the intake, exhaust and manifold, a modified fuel pump and opening up the TSI engine for major surgery (new injection valves, piston rod, ECU update), the Solingen based outfit also managed to massage 455Nm of torque from the GTI’s EA888 motor, which in stock form produces 207bhp (210PS) and 280Nm of torque.We certainly agree with the weapon description – Wimmer RS’s innocent looking GTI could potentially wipe out not only other sports cars, but its driver as well! The standard GTI is already a very fast car with urgent acceleration and we can’t imagine how the tuner can channel those newfound horses to the tarmac, through the front wheels. Max speed is now 267km/h (from 240km/h) but amazingly there’s no mention of uprated brakes! Of lesser consequence is a height adjustable coilover suspension set and Motec Antares wheels wrapped with Dunlop Sport Maxx GT rubber.How much is too much? When your car is harder to tame than a rodeo bull! We’re trying to get a test unit of the Mk6 Golf GTI (in standard form, of course) so stay tuned for a test drive report!

brilliant car..

out of curiousity...why below RM50k?

 

[bmw7833]

Yes, why below RM50K? Apple has to compare with apple too, not orange mar..

 

[anaksarawak]

If the we match apple to apple then no fun talking about it leh... we r malaysian so semua boleh.

Just a leisure chat.. after I saw the post by paul tan.

Some say a supercharged M50 2.8 in E30 or E36 or E30 with 1Jz will do the trick to out run this VW

At http://www.topgear.com/uk/volkswagen/golf-gti/road-test/mk-6 website, this car is priced between GBP 19K to GBP23K. To own one in Msia, would put it at least at a 3 series's price...

This is indeed a nice car and worth buying at this price and good secondhand value too!

 

[supergripen]

Just booked a mk6..delivery march 2010.

Looking forward..

Btw,if u want to compare to re-engined e30,a mk4 Golf GTi with a 300bhp 1.8t wud be more appropriate.

 

[David Yong]

Good choice! White color ?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? Looking to get one too.

 

[supergripen]

I think white is the best colour for the car.

List price is rm209,800.00 without insurance.
