VW Golf 7.5 R 2019 1054 bhp

[phonemantra-blog]

Presentation expected next year The current eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf has been available since late 2019, but it took the Mk8 body almost two more years to reach the United States exclusively in GTI and R variants. New photos of the updated VW Golf, which is already being tested, have appeared on the Internet. [caption id="attachment_84738" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Volkswagen[/caption] The new Golf 8 facelift prototype is similar to the base version, which has received some new components. A new bumper is visible at the front, similar in shape to the bumper of the new VW Passat. While this prototype doesn't have camouflage, the bumper is covered in black and white tape that hides the more intricate design details. The headlights and DRLs are identical to the current model, but the production model's headlights may be redesigned. The Volkswagen Golf has never looked more like a Passat. New photos have appeared The rest of the Golf's exterior looks very familiar, with few noticeable differences between it and the current model. This prototype features a new set of taillights that are expected to include updated LED graphics, although this design is hidden by decals. [caption id="attachment_84739" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Volkswagen[/caption] While the exterior of the new model won't be much different from the previous one, the interior will be. The previously spotted prototype featured a large central touchscreen in the center of the dashboard, which was similar to that of the electric ID models, but was even larger and had slightly thinner bezels. The manufacturer is expected to make improvements to the existing range of mild hybrid engines, which includes 1.0 eTSI and 1.5 eTSI petrol units, as well as 2-liter diesel variants. [caption id="attachment_84740" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Volkswagen[/caption] Volkswagen is expected to introduce the updated Golf Variant next year.

CTS Turbo Release Drop-In Turbo for Audi / VW EA888.3

We are so happy to announce some good news from CTS Turbo for owners of MQB vehicles. The company has released a budget-friendly-direct-bolt-on hybrid turbocharger for the 2015-2020 MQB platform. The kit is available in our shop for $1,499.99. CTS Turbo as a leading brand in the automotive industry is known for manufacturing and wholesaling performance parts for late-model Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen, their latest release fits all MQB-based EA888.3 vehicles such as:

2015-2019 VW Golf/Sportwagen/Alltrack

2015-2020 VW GTI

2015-2019 VW Golf R

2019-2023 VW Jetta GLI

2018-2021 VW Arteon

2015-2020 Audi A3

2015-2020 Audi S3

2015-2020 Audi TT

2015-2020 Audi TTS

ROW models can vary

This turbocharger will change your driving experience like never before by giving your ride massive power gains and superior performance. With this turbocharger, the engineers at CTS Turbo took successful features from their previous releases and made them better. They kept the journal bearing CHRA from the IS38 turbocharger and increased the thrust bearings and thrust collars by 2 mm, to match the larger wheels and the performance-oriented nature of this upgrade.

They also increased the turbo’s oil passages by 0.72mm and put the turbo through extensive in-house tests to make sure that it delivers the highest performance at different altitudes and climates. Their main goals were to manufacture a turbocharger with fast spool times, massive torque gains, and reliable solid mid-range performance, so its safe to say that the CTS Turbo JB-600 Journal Bearing Hybrid Turbocharger MQB Platform 2015-2020 delivers that and more.

Designed for street use, this turbocharger delivers approximately 600 crank hp, around 520-530whp on E85 and 430-460whp on pump 93 octane**. As a performance upgrade, this turbocharger will do wonders for the power and efficiency of your MQB platform. You should also know that this system is engineered to be very durable and withstand the high-performance demands you intend to put it through.

Features

Perfect street turbocharger upgrade, fantastic spool, and mid-range response

Journal bearing direct-fit CHRA (compatible with all factory oil and coolant lines)

Billet reverse rotation compressor wheel, 53.1mm inducer, 71mm-76mm exducer with extended tip (6+6 blade configuration)

Notes:

We recommend keeping the boost within 25-28psi, less if you’re limited by fueling or a stock engine. Do not exceed the recommended boost range, as it will reduce efficiency.

Installation must be performed by a qualified technician. Always pre-fill the turbocharger, replace engine oil and filter, and follow proper break-in procedures.

2019 VW Golf Design, Specs And Release Date

medianet_width = "336"; medianet_height = "280"; medianet_crid = "573553158"; medianet_versionId = "3111299";

2019 VW Golf Design, Specs And Release Date – The Golf is VW’s very best marketing car being offered in than 30 mil devices considering it absolutely was released back in 1974. One of the explanations it gives very well is the outstanding good value individuals get along with it. The very last 3 many years in the auto are already a number of the best-supplying automobiles in The European Union. The most updated is definitely the Golf which offers an excellent interior to your price, gasoline effective motors, along with a contemporary seem.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Enable us to begin our review through the impending 2019 VW Golf featuring its exterior design. With the leaked out images of the vehicle is apparent that VW would like an even more present-day appearance. However, the changes will not be as large as several of us created. Inside the top new front lights are offered in the foundation designs in addition to round the GTI. This appears a lot more much like what is available today in regards to the most current Passat. The grille has not yet changed as much, although the bumper performed. There are actually recently shaped atmosphere intakes plus diverse housings for the fog-lights. The leaked out photos also present at least two new types of rims which are available in the normal Golf together with around the GTI. The second also generally appears to get a new back bumper with built-in exhausts which appearance much like people within the new Passat way too.

The newest variation of the auto fails to provide everything that many changes above its precursor. Even if this will be the middle of the-existence up-date through the auto, VW created an endeavor to alter it only possible. It implies that it will receive new front lights and tail lamps along with an improved group of bumpers. Inside of the entrance, the base types show a lot more in typical using the GTI showing off a bit more excessive intakes along with a new grille. The rear will get false exhausts across the collection which do damage the generally elegant design. VW performed include a large number of new tires for this purchaser from which to choose. Nevertheless, these do add up to the cost of your car.

medianet_width = "336"; medianet_height = "280"; medianet_crid = "573553158"; medianet_versionId = "3111299";

The foundation engine that can be installed to the 2019 VW Golf will in all probability be their new 1 liter turbocharged inline 3. This is also offered in the continuing design precisely where it can make 113 horsepower which is quite amazing for your size. Further up the collection, we have to see an updated 1.4-liter TSI unit providing 125 and 160 hp. The 1.8-liter turbo is available only from the US, need to get a small improve also. The GTI, along with the R, need to the two obtained the same motors as just before with small improvements. Some rumors encouraged to the new diesel, but with the stage, it nonetheless is reasonably early to note something about them.

You can find a number of offered motors around the Golf upgrade. The basic model receives a 1.-liter turbo-a few perfect for 113 horsepower. This offers greater fuel economy when designed with the changed 7-speed DSG gearbox. A greater 1.5 liter turbocharged inline four engine has been given available. This now gives up to 150 hp which happens to be sent to the top tires by way of a 6-pace guidebook or perhaps a new 7-rate DSG. The GTI is certain to get the same 2.-liter engine as just before which now tends to make 227 horsepower inside the foundation toned degree. The R nevertheless results in a tad below 300 horsepower making it one of the really most potent VW autos regarding the marketplace.

The facelift of your Golf was revealed a couple of a few months back, even though the vehicle was released in showrooms a quick when previous. The model provides a good number of changes in the cabin, but it will continue to continue to be mostly exactly like just before just about everywhere diverse. Regrettably, the Golf is just not just what it was previously. The existing product is among the really most expensive autos in their class without delivering much more when compared to the rivalry. Its only genuine strong level is definitely the interior, but a little more about that at a later time.

Prince Carl Philip of Sweden visits Volkswagen

HRH Carl Philip, Prince of Sweden, is signing the Volkswagen guest book. From left: HRH Carl Philip, Prince of Sweden next to Andreas Renschler, CEO of TRATON SE and a Member of the Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft Board of Management    Visit centered on Volkswagen’s e-mobility strategy and test drives in the Volkswagen Group’s latest-generation electric vehicles    Sweden is one of Europe’s largest markets for electric vehicles – Passat GTE1 is the best-selling electric car in Sweden    With Scania, the Volkswagen Group is one of the largest industrial investors in Sweden – €2.4 billion invested in the country in the last ten years    Prince Carl Philip met with Swedish startup entrepreneurs at a Volkswagen event on innovative manufacturing technologies and Industry 4.0 Sweden is the Partner Country of Hannover Messe 2019. During his official visit to Germany, Prince Carl Philip was welcomed by Volkswagen Group representatives in Wolfsburg and found out more about the company’s e-mobility strategy. The Swedish Prince was one of the first to test the Group’s new generation of electric cars, including models from the Volkswagen ID. family. Sweden is one of Europe’s largest markets for electric vehicles. Andreas Renschler, CEO of TRATON SE and a Member of the Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft Board of Management, said: “Sweden is a role model in the area of climate protection. Today, more than half of the electricity generated already comes from renewable sources. That is an essential prerequisite for making e-mobility sustainable for passenger cars as well as trucks and buses.” He went on to say: “We have several innovative e-mobility projects in Sweden, for example, Scania will soon begin testing self-driving electric buses for Stockholm’s public transport system.” Sweden is one of Europe’s largest markets for electric vehicles and therefore an important sales market for the Group’s electric models. With reference to Prince Carl Philip’s test drives, the Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Technical Development, Dr. Frank Welsch, commented: “Prince Carl Philip of Sweden is a talented racing driver and an expert on cars. He was a successful participant in the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia from 2008 to 2011. And he visited the Rally Sweden and the Volkswagen Motorsport team. I am delighted that an acknowledged specialist is one of the first to test our new generation of electric vehicles that will hit the market from 2020. Sweden will be one of the major sales markets for our ID.” His Royal Highness Prince Carl Philip met with 34 Swedish startup entrepreneurs in Germany for Hannover Messe 2019 on his visit to the Volkswagen Smart.Production:Lab in the IT:City, Wolfsburg. These selected startups participated in an Innovation Day at Volkswagen where concepts and innovations such as electrically-powered automated transport concepts and virtual reality solutions as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence software tools were presented. The event was designed to intensify Swedish-German cooperation in the field of innovative manufacturing technologies and Industry 4.0. The Volkswagen Group is one of the largest industrial investors in Sweden. Scania invested €2.4 billion in Sweden in the last ten years. Scania produces trucks and buses in Europe, South America and Asia and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sustainable transport solutions. 96,500 trucks and buses were delivered to customers in 2018 – 19,000 of which were built at the Swedish plant in Södertälje. 20,700 of Scania’s total workforce of 52,100 are employed in Sweden. In early 2018, Scania invested €10 million in the battery manufacturing company Northvolt. The collaboration concerns the industrial scale production of battery cells. A joint research consortium called European Battery Union led by Volkswagen and Northvolt was announced recently. The consortium is applying for funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy to finance the research, development and industrial scale production of battery technology. Furthermore, the Volkswagen Group is one of the largest car manufacturers in Sweden. 103,000 passenger cars and 16,700 trucks from the Group were registered in Sweden in 2018, accounting for a 27.4 percent share of the passenger car market and a 30 percent share of the truck market. The Volkswagen Golf, Passat and Tiguan are among the top ten passenger car models in Sweden’s registration statistics, putting Volkswagen in second place behind Volvo. Electric vehicles accounted for a market share of eight percent in Sweden in 2018. The Volkswagen Passat GTE Leslie Bothge- photos Volkswagen

I was looking for a new car for my commute and landed on the Elantra GT N-line. I think it was a great little package that doesn't get a lot of press. It wouldn't have been on my radar if not for the recent buzz around the Veloster N. So, I thought I would write up my thoughts sort of like a "What car should I buy" post-mortem.

What did I buy?

No other options (manual is only trim, you need to get the DCT to get the tech pkg)

Price: $21,485 before tax, title, blah, blah, etc

My criteria:

Manual transmission

Compact hatchback / 5 door config

Good power (I live at elevation and often drive up the canyons so I wanted more than most base trims)

Fun to drive

Decent fuel economy

Apple Carplay

Around $25k

For reference, I was thinking about a first gen Acura TSX as sort of reference vehicle. Good power, an absolute blast to drive, but can still be a civilized commuter car.

Cross-shopping list:

Honda Civic Si

Honda Civic Sport

Subaru Impreza Sport

Each car had its strengths and weakness. The Hondas had better shifters and the Si was definitely a better driver but I couldn't get past the exterior styling and the interior was really a step behind. The Subaru was a great value, AWD is a nice perk, and was more fun than I thought it would be with the manual but it is really under powered.

Why no Mazda3 or VW GTI/Golf?

Mazda forces you into a higher price tier to get the manual and secondly I was concerned about getting a non-turbo option at elevation. On top of that, none of the dealers local to me had a manual option available for a test drive. I am curious to drive one eventually but I don't think they could have competed on price.

On the VW front, my wife's daily is an Alltrack (DCT) that we both really like. Mostly I wanted something different rather than another VW. I also really hate our local VW dealership.

On that note, Subaru and Hyundai both offered a really pleasant dealership experience. The Honda place I visited was an awful experience. They were really hesitant to let me test drive unless I was ready to buy one off the lot that day! Thankfully we were able to get past that. I get that they are a volume dealer but really left a bad taste in my mouth. The Subaru place here moves a ton of volume and was packed when I showed up but they still took time to treat me well. Luckily I have multiple dealership options around me but really disappointed in Honda here.

Is the Hyundai perfect? Of course not but it ended up being the right car for me. Thanks for reading. Happy to answer questions but I thought this might be useful for other shoppers.

First Images from Eighth Generation Volkswagen Golf.

We take our first look at the car with the photos from the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf. Volkswagen has significantly changed the front grille design of the popular hatchback model, making the new Golf suitable for the requirements of the modern era.

The eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf, which has been the subject of many rumors in recent months, appeared shortly before the launch. The official visuals published today show that we will meet the most ambitious member of the Golf range. Although the 2019 Volkswagen Golf maintains its characteristic stance, it has achieved a much more modern look than its predecessor. The front grille design has changed completely. As you can see from the photos, the eighth-generation Golf will have LED headlights that extend throughout.

Volkswagen says the new Golf will have a new suspension technology with a wide and efficient range of engines that will perform better than ever before. Significant changes in the design of the cockpit of the German brand, the vehicle will come with a digital instrument panel announced. The car, which is expected to have a much more advanced infotainment system, will have many touch control keys to make drivers' work easier. The eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf will be introduced on October 24th at the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. In addition to the current model, we hope to see Variant / SportWagen, Sportsvan, GTI, and R performance variants.
