Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport is going to star in our news a lot today! The reason is that the special edition model is marking 40 years since it has first appeared on the market in 1976. Back then, the car was powered by a 1.6 litre fuel-injected engine producing 110 hp (81 kW). It might not look a lot now, but it was back then! The latest GTI Clubsport, which is also depicted in the article, is driven by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine sending a lusty 265 horsepower (195 kW) to the front wheels, with up to 290 hp (213 kW) on tap in short-term overboost.
Anyways. We are going to show you a simple project with incredibly beautiful pictures, made especially for those who admire not only Golf’s but also woman’s beauty. The project is made by the “wheels specialists” at OXIGIN. Here are the details.

The Clubsport has some serious styling cues: check out the black trim on its bumpers, the tartan checked sports seat inserts, the red topstitching, and its golf ball gearknob. All of these distinctive features were inspired by its ancestor.
To make the car even more individual, the experts at OXIGIN decided to add a set of 8.5×19-inch OXIGIN 20 Attraction alloy wheels wrapped in red and white foil (by hand) over gloss black. Next on the list was the addition of KW Clubsport coilover suspension with variable front top mounts.
For the best look, the specialists at Wrap Carstyles stepped in. They have applied a digitally printed and red and black color-coded foil design to give the impression the bodywork has been scratched by huge claws. At last but not least, in order to lower exhaust backpressure, Schalk-Tuning fitted a Bull X-Downpipe with 200-cell HJS catalyst and a Remus sports exhaust system.
The result is a unique, isn’t it? Any thoughts on the image gallery?

Which are the preliminary qualities of a Ferrari? First, it has to be red; secondly – it has to be fast; and third, it has to be beautiful. When one isn’t satisfied with its factory 488 GTB, then he or she goes to the doctor (tuner) and changes what they don’t like. It is as simple as that!
Imagine that you have a chance to own a real new McLaren F1! How cool would it be? You can actually do that (if you have the money and are faster than Shmee 150), since an example of the F1 with chassis number #069 has appeared on the surface. What is even better, it has covered only 2800 miles, which makes it like a new one… well, almost.
BMW i3 comes back with more strength via the new model added to the range. The new variant will be offered next year and it will deliver to its future drivers more than 50% increased battery capacity. To go into details, the 2017 BMW i3 (94 Ah) has a capacity of 33 kilowatt hours (kWh). This is due to the higher energy density of the lithium ion cells.
VÄTH has unveiled its latest project based on the Mercedes-AMG C450 4MATIC (W205). The tuning company has developed a special kit called V45, which boosts the power of the model. The result is impressive and it doesn’t’ include only output optimization, but it does also feature some important upgrades that aid the performance of the car. Here are the details.
WIMMER RS Volkswagen Polo WRC is one little car with enormous potential. One can hardly imagine that this tiny beasty can reach the heights of developing 420 horsepower. Does this mean that size does not matter when it comes to engine power boost? In this case we are pretty positive, but still there might be many out there who are on the opposite opinion. So, let’s see what caught our attention in this project.
Larte Design Mercedes-Benz V-Class Black Crystal has been introduced for the first time this year back in the end of January. However, we received details only regarding the interior of the car, which stunned us with its vast luxurious cabin, high-quality materials and ambient atmosphere. In other words, this V-Class promised to be an example of maximum level of comfort and individuality for VIP persons… or whoever can afford it.
G-Power is back this month with the exclusive announcement that they have created the world’s fastest BMW M4 convertible. And with its 600 hp this might be for real! Turning the M4 into a razor sharp weapon wasn’t an easy task. Using just their Bi-Tronik 2 V1-ECU remap, the stock output of the M4’s 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder motor (431 hp and 550 Nm) was raised to the impressive 520 hp (382 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque.
Another interesting tuning project for today is presented before us by the German specialists at WRAPworks. Their name might sound misleading, because this tuning is not only about foil wrapping, but also modifications regarding performance and driving enjoinment. Although the Mustangs are not a common car in Europe, WRAPworks have managed to put their hands on a 421 hp, 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT ‘Fastback’. As a result, they have made it even more impressive and literally a rolling showcase for their art.
Wetterauer Engineering is a tuning company from Germany, which has been out there since 1973. If you haven’t heard about it, we have a great example of their work, which involves a Volkswagen Passat, powered by the 2.0 TDI 4Motion engine, delivering a stock output of 240 horsepower. Well, this is a pretty nice basis, but the tuners have done their work pretty good.
Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew is a high-performance off-road pickup currently available to preview at the Beijing International Auto Show.
