RFK Volkswagen Golf Mk 5 in Pure Gold?

RFK Volkswagen Golf Mk 5 R32 Front View RFK Volkswagen Golf Mk 5 is dressed in bright color that mimics pure gold. The project has been conducted by the tuning specialists at RFK Tuning, who are based in Germany. The car did not receive only a shiny exterior but there are also some other modifications that need to be addressed, like the new suspension, contrasting wheels and engine tuning. Let’s see why this Volkswagen looks so charming and which were the exact steps of achieving this effect.

Step 1: Striking Color

The exterior color of the Golf grabs the attention immediately. It isn’t made of real gold of course, but it is actually achieved via Matt Chrome Yellow foil wrapping. And this is the secret of the one-off car.

The other captivating element of the exterior here are the wheels. They come in 19-inch size and are painted in bright candy red, perfectly contrasting the exterior shell. In house made, the Elegance Wheels, include gold decorative screws. This gives the impression that these one-piece wheels are actually multi-piece.

The extensive care for the “shoes” of this Volkswagen Golf continues with the addition of 225/35ZR19 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires at all four corners. They were manufactured with offsets of ET45 and ET35 on the front and rear axles, respectively, and also clear the R32 brakes without spacers.

Step 2: Suspension & Handling

The next step in this tuning was to select the most appropriate coil-over suspension kit for the R32. ST Suspensions, KW’s subsidiary, stepped in by delivering a set of ST X adjustable coilovers. They lower the ride height with a few centimeters, thus giving the Golf significant visual and handling benefits.

Step 3: Engine Remapping

Although the colour is the most striking feature of this six-cylinder Volkswagen Golf, it also has a striking new numbers of its engine. The stock 3.2 litre V6 unit produces 250 hp (184 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. BHP Motorsport ensured that there is a proper software remapping for the Golf and managed to increase its output to 270 hp (198 kW) and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft). The engine also has a sharper throttle response.

To sum up, although this project is a little bit pompous, it has its advantages, especially when it comes to engine uprating and tuner’s craftsmanship. As a matter of fact, we do like it very much, but wonder what you have to say about it?

HG-Motorsport Volkswagen Golf GTI and Polo GTI Can Beat Porsche 911?

HG-Motorsport must be very proud, because they have just released not one but two dynamic cars. The “double act” is represented via two Volkswagens, Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI and Polo 6C GTI, which have gained significant boosts in terms of power and torque. Some styling enhancements also complement their sportier nature. There is no wonder why the chosen cars were the GTI variants of the Golf from the seventh generation and the Polo 6C, isn’t it? So let’s review what has happened to those two.

HG-Motorsport Volkswagen Golf GTI

Defining the HG-Motorsport Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI is a sinister new appearance which hints that this car has more to show. Defined by exclusive graphics on the side doors, and red multi-spoke wheels, this car is capable of unbelievable heights. Just for a comparison, the standard motor under the hood produces 230 hp (170 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). Which is not bad, compared to the GTI-less specifications.

However, the untamed character of the tuners had to be transferred onto this Golf, and therefore they created an upgrade, which boosts these numbers to a mind-blowing 375 (276 kW) and 527 Nm (389 lb-ft) of torque. Now we can even compare this car to sports beasts like the Porsche 911, can’t we?

After the conversion, the seventh generation Golf can be compared to Porsche 911 with its 375 HP!

The question is how HG-Motorsport achieved an addition of 145 horses? There is a lot of work involved here. First, the production turbocharger has been substituted with larger one, just like the one found on the Golf R. Then, its potential was further boosted by a temperature lowering Double-DIN-intercooler. There is also an in-house made HF-Series carbon-fibre airbox, which aids the ram intake airflow.

The conversion does not finish here, because of the simple fact, that this addition of 145 hp, is not an easily achievable goal. The experts continued with the installation of Bull-X EWG 3.0-inch diameter downpipe, complemented by a Bull-X sound flap sports exhaust system. The latter actually features sports catalyst and R32-look carbon tailpipes.

These tailpipes add to the visual appearance of the car aided by a new custom rear apron. At last, in order to match the new optimized intake and exhaust hardware, the ECU’s remapped fuel and ignition as well as boost curves were also improved.

Better driving dynamics, ensuring that the additional power is well managed, were also achieved. Precisely, this is due to the installation of KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension with DCC. Furthermore, behind the multi-spoke red-coloured alloys we see new brakes up front. The uprated Golf GTI brake kit includes eight-pot fixed caliper front brakes with 356×32 mm floating discs.

Onto the next car.

HG-Motorsport Volkswagen Polo GTI

The second car here is the Polo 6C GTI. Its production turbocharged 1.8 litre engine, generates 192 hp (141 kW) and 250 Nm (185 lb-ft) of maximum torque. Although the car is smaller and less potent, it has received almost the same upgrades like its bigger brother.

Here, the conversion has achieved an addition of 68 horses. In details, the kit for the power-boost comprises of HF-Series air-intake system and intercooler as well as Bull X-3.0-inch exhaust downpipe and sound flap exhaust. The latter features metal sports catalyst and … can you also spot the carbon-tipped twin tailpipes? Nice looking, aren’t they?

Here, the conversion has achieved an addition of 68 horses.

So, without ECU remapping, the car is capable of producing 212 hp (156 lb-ft) and 287 Nm (212 kW). But … after the specialists at SLS Tuning stepped in, the result is spectacular: 260 hp (191 lb-ft) with 350 Nm (258 kW) of torque. HG-Motorsport even confesses that the uprating had to be even more, but the seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission imposed torque limitations.

At last, the sportier character of the mini fellow is strengthened via H&R Deep by K-Custom Polo GTI coil-over suspension kit. And can you spot that by this lowering the tires literally disappear behind the wheel arches? This is due to the Mücke Carbon wide-look wheel arches that have been specifically developed for this Polo.

And just like its big brother, the car runs on custom multi-spoke red wheels and features exclusive graphic elements on its sides.

Both cars are now ready for action, and judging by the number 57 on the back door window, we can soon expect of this tuned Golf 7 GTI to make significant achievements in the motorsport field.

MR Racing Volkswagen Golf is Entirely Transformed

MR Racing Volkswagen Golf started as a simple Mk 7 GTD. When the tuners at MR Racing finished with it, we can say that it has nothing in common with its production siblings. And here it is why: the experts not only enhanced the visual appearance of the car, but also added more power to the output and created a special sound generator system, which produces a V8-like sound. There is more to that but you need to read further to get to know this version of the Golf better.

Sound Generator

The most interesting addition in this MR Racing Volkswagen Golf is the retrofit sound generator. It gave the diesel engine of the Golf more lusty and growling sound just like that one of a big V8.

If one installs the sound generator, then he or she can control it via an optional WLAN receiver using an Apple or Android smartphone app, which is even cooler. As a result we have a VW Golf fitted with MR Racing sound generator, integrated with a sports exhaust system with two 100mm tailpipes.

Engine

In addition, the stock engine of the Volkswagen Golf GTD received significant uprating in terms of power and torque. By the way, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder common-rail turbo-diesel produces 184hp (135kW) and 380Nm (280lb-ft) of torque without any modification.

However, with the addition of a K&N sports air cleaner and software remap, this MR Racing Volkswagen Golf is now capable of putting out 221hp (162kW) and 450Nm (332lb-ft).

Exterior

The customization does not end here. The specialists at MR Racing have added also a Rieger bodykit. It comprises of a new front spoiler lip and spoiler blade, as well as side skirts and a rear diffuser.

As a matter of fact, the MR Racing Volkswagen Golf looks a little bit wider. This visual appearance has been achieved with 40 mm wider front arch extensions from SRS-Tec.

Then the car was wrapped in an exclusive foil and fitted with in-house made MR14 alloy wheels in 9.0×20-inch ET45 size. They fill out the arches with the help of 235/30R20 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo tyres.

KW Variant 3 height-adjustable coil-over suspension is also there to support the new modifications. It features variable bounce and rebound control, that drops the ride height to add better look and handling.

Interior

At last, the interior received only one but major update! It is a Pioneer AVIC-F 60 DAB Navigation System with DVD function, which has been integrated into the centre console. This high-end solution has an interface that allows unrestricted utilization of all vehicle functions, like the reversing camera for instance.

Volkswagen’s Safety System Reduces Injuries and Collisions With the Incredible 45 Per Cent!

Both Volkswagen Golf and Passat models are been tested by safety experts at the Thatcham Research Centre, who noticed a total of 45 per cent drop in third party personal injury, thanks to the auto-emergency brake system. As you know, the latest generation of Golf is on sale in UK since January 2013 and almost all models are geared with the Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist and emergency brake system. Thanks to all these gadgets, injuries with the latest Golf models are halved down.

These systems are new, but it was the Golf vehicle, that made them popular. Especially the ACC technology. As you know, this system is completely effective between a speed range of 30 to 160 km/h (18 to 99 mph). In normal driving, the ACC calculates the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead and automatically brakes or accelerates, depending on the traffic.

In addition, the Front Assist continues the monitoring the traffic ahead and calculates distances, speed and the force of the brake in occasions it has to be used. And if the driver fails to react on time, the technology automatically generates a braking force, that helps avoiding collisions. Handy, isn’t it.

On the other hand, the latest Passat model, that went on sale in UK in January is also geared with ACC. In fact all the Passat models have it as a standard equipment, except the S models. With additional gadgets and the function to detect pedestrians, on-time indications from Thatcham are what avoids accidents and collisions.

ACC system is also available on Polo an Touareg, while the city emergency brake system is included and into the Up! city car.

The front grille features a double-sided upper air-opening. On the hood we spot a vent for the engine compartment. The front fenders, the wheel arch ventilation, the carbon-flaps on the side skirts again are all eye-catching.

At the back, the rear wheel arch gives the Golf a distinctive character. The same effect is achieved via the widened apron with her real-carbon diffuser, the central exhaust tailpipe and the powerful rear wing with aero-flaps.

Engine

The 2.5 liter TFSI five-cylinder in-line engine received a turbocharger. There is also new water intercooling and revisions in the exhaust – the tuner added downpipe with sports catalysts and a double-flow cat-running racing exhaust system. Differential lock and clutch have been also adapted.

As a result the output has grown to 518 hp (381 kW), while the torque to 680 Nm (500 lb-ft). The engine is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission that is linked to the four wheels.

Wheels, Tires & Brakes

This unique car runs on 20-inch ATS forged wheels fitted with Dunlop Sport Maxx 275/25 R20 tires. In terms of suspension the Golf got three-way KW clubsport one with racing technology. Behind the alloys we see six-piston high-performance brake calipers and two-piece, perforated and internally ventilated brake discs with sports brake pads and steel flex brake pipes.

Interior

If you find the exterior extravagant, then you definitely have to take a look inside. It is sporty, individual and some might even say that it is strange. The cabin is upholstered in exclusive leather combined with black Alcantara on the center seat panels.

The decorative elements have been made more personal via contrasting orange color. The seats are of course racing bucket and feature integrated head restraints and harness slots. At last, wheel has been also changed with three-spoke sports leather one and the same material has been used for the door panels, rear seat and trunk cover.
