A Volkswagen Golf for the Summer by Schmidt

When we heard that Schmidt Revolution are bringing out yet another Golf, we got excited. It was only after when we realized that the “programme” comprised solely of a set of wheels and a fancy audio system. The upside of the story is that, since the programme is just that, all Golfs are eligible to it. We were pleased to find out that Schmidt’s weapon of choice was a Volkswagen Golf Mk 6 Convertible GTI.

That means 210 hp coming from a 2.0-liter TSI engine which in turn uses a PDK transmission to channel that force to the wheels. This is where Schmidt made their move. The Golf here in the pictures has 8.5Jx19H2 Shift design wheels that boast 45 mm of positive offset. The color: gloss silver. Tires: Conti Sport Contact 5 sized 235/35R19. One however, can go a tad less conspicuous with the 8Jx18H2 version of the same wheels or even the 7,5x17H2 ones.

That leaves us with the B&S Sound system with Rockford Fosgate- and Mosconi-components, a foot-mounted subwoofer and the Kenwood DNX521DAB navigation which is as sophisticated as the Starship Enterprise.

So there you have it. The Schmidt Revolution Volkswagen Golf GTI Convertible – not a lot of work done but then again, not a lot of work needed to be done in order to end up with a genuinely good car.

Wheelsandmore “Pronto” Update Maserati Gran Turismo Mc Stradale

What we have here is the latest Wheelsandmore update on the Maserati Gran Turismo Mc Stradale. It’s called the “Pronto” and is available for both the coupe and convertible series.

Most notably, some careful work has been done to jump the power of the standard Stradle‘s V8 – 30 extra hp and 40 Nm of torque more thanks to an ECU upgrade and a hand-made exhaust system roars through a remote-controlled valve. So that’s 480 PS and 550 Nm of torque passing through a ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox.

There’s been a shoe shopping spree as well. The Wheelsandmore Maserati Gran Turismo Mc Stradale rolls on ultralight 6Sportz2 forged wheels that measure up to 12.5×21-inches. Wrapped around these multipiece goodies are four P Zero Nero tires from Pirelli – 255/30/21 at the front and 355/25/21 at the back.

Another feature intended to improve not only the road appeal, but the overall performance is the compression and rebound adjustable coilover suspension, which is also available for vehicles with OEM Skyhook suspension. For it, you get 5 yars of warranty.

When it comes to the interior, things get very flexible so be sure to be on the right mood when discussing it.

Land Rover Defender Going Rural With The XTech Special Edition

The Land Rover Defender has always been a work horse and whoever is trying to steer it into the world of luxury can be proved wrong with this special edition. It’s the Defender Xtech Special Edition – a rugged looking, off-road going rangie But is that really the case?

Don’t be fooled by the grand MTR off-road tires on it’s 16-inch alloy wheels. Nor should you be humbled by the XTech‘s Ford 2.2-liter diesel engine which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. (that engine has actually specifically chosen to comply with Euro V emission regulations). The paint job works to a certain extend but once you step inside, marks of the Special Edition’s squeamishness became widely apparent.

The interior is mostly white leather and there are Land Rover logos everywhere – on the headrests and down on the carpets, embossed or woven. That is not the rugged way. As complementary equipment, you get Air Conditioning, Anti-Lock Brakes with Electronic Traction Control, central locking and heated seats and windscreen. All that for the price of £27,995 ($43,440).

Main point: The Land Rover Defender Xtech, with it’s cool name and it’s black wheel arches and stylized side sills, is not a work horse. It’s a high-speck geek dressed as a commando.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana 5: Ultimate Urban Playground – San Francisco [HD video]

He is back at the “track”. This is the latest video of Ken Block driving his 2012 Ford Fiesta HFGV. The specially prepared stunt car is delivering 650HP and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 1.8 seconds. Good enough… for drifting around.

The video is called Gymkhana FIVE: Ultimate Urban Playground; San Francisco and as you will see in the clip, the environment is quite familiar. The video was filmed over four days and directed by Ben Conrad, who is back with his team to work on their second Gymkhana production. DC Shoes also provided fellow DC athlete and longtime Ken Block friend, Travis Pastrana, to make an appearance on his dirtbike.

However, we can’t really describe what’s happening in the video clip, so just watch and enjoy the extreme driving in the beautiful city of San Francisco.

The new engine will be connected to a new dual-clutch gearbox that will be operated by paddle-shifters.”Here is our interpretation, what changed? Lower ride height, bigger wheels, sportier aero kit – more aggressive front bumper, with plenty space for the intercooler and rear diffuser with rectangular exhaust tips. Added a bigger rear trunk wing, also removed chrome trimmings from the doors and the rear hatch.”, commented PS-Garage’s Dan Buzdugan.Stay tuned for more information about the small hot hatchback!
