Even though the current sixth generation of the Volkswagen Golf is
only a few weeks away from receiving a welcomed successor, there still
are some tuners focusing on the outgoing model. A recent example would
have to be BBM Motorsport that has taken the hotter GTI version of the
Golf and made a few improvements here and there. The German tuners have remapped the engine's ECU and installed a
custom exhaust system, all for the purpose of increasing the power
output of the 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged engine by 63 hp (46 kW /
64 PS) and 74 lb.-ft. (100 Nm), for a grand total of 271 hp (202 kW /
274 PS) and 280 lb.-ft. (380 Nm). More power requires a better braking system which is why the tuners
at BBM Motorsport have installed StopTech red four-piston calipers,
along with a beefed up suspension courtesy of KW. The Volkswagen Golf VI
GTI now rides on a fresh new set of 20-inch alloys wrapped around in
235/30R20 rubbers. CFC-Styling was in charge of covering the car in a matte blue foil
wrap, while carbon fiber was used for the hood, rear diffuser and the
mirror caps.
