Volkswagen Golf VI R by Alpha-N Performance

Alpha-N Performance has released an upgrade package for the sixth-gen Volkswagen Golf R. The tuner teamed up with Öhlins for a custom Road & Track chassis which was matched with lightweight OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloys featuring a race gold finish and wrapped around in 235/30 R20 tires. Other changes included in the kit are a stainless steel exhaust system, sports air filter system and an EVOX chip tuning box.

As a result of these changes, the Volkswagen Golf VI R's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine outputs 330 HP (243 kW), representing a 60 HP (44 kW) hike compared to the standard model. Power is sent to all four wheels through a DSG transmission which should enable the car to be quicker in the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run than the stock model which accomplishes this task in 5.5 seconds.
