New VW Golf "R" 270HP Receives a 310-362HP Power Boost from B&B
German tuning specialist, B&B, is turning the up wick on the most potent series-production Golf ever made, the new 270hp (200kw) all-wheel drive Golf R, with the launch of a performance package that includes powertain and chassis upgrades.
The engine mods come in three different stages, with the first bumping output from 270 horsepower (200kw) to 310HP (230kw), the second to 324HP (242kw) and the third to a hefty 362HP (270kw).
The most powerful kit features a larger turbocharger, a sports exhaust system with a different downpipe and a racing catalyst, reprogrammed ECU, a revised air intake system and a new intercooler.
B&B claims that the 362HP (270kw) Golf R sprints from standstill to 100km/h (62mph) in just 4.8 seconds and maxes out at 280km/h or 174 mph.
The tuning firm also offers a special 8-caliper high-performance braking system, an adjustable coilover suspension with new springs that lower the vehicle's ride height and a set of black-colored alloy wheels in sizes 19'' and 20''.

not impressed. the new R32 uses a 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder from the GTI and Audi TT. turbo upgrades and other bolts is not special in a world of Evos and STIs. its not like those guys from canada who twin turbocharge a NA V6 on the older R32s.

Meh. Looks nice, but 0-60 in 4.8s after all those mods (bigger turbo, TBE, reflash) and and AWD launch doesn't seem overwhelmingly fast or powerful, assuming the quoted power figures are at the crank. Not to mention that car probably cost $50k when all is said and done.
I would also like to see a dyno to know how the upgrade effected the powerband.
