Sport-Wheels puts more RRRRR into Golf

German tuning house Sport-Wheels have just announced a 330PS (242kW) kit for the Volkswagen Golf R. In Australian spec the R has 255PS (188kW); a power increase of almost 30% is nothing to sneeze at. Torque also gets a very tidy kick, from 330Nm up to 450Nm.

All it takes to ask the Golf R’s turbo to weave a bit more magic is an ECU reflash (€799/AU$1160) and a hand-made turbo-back exhaust system, including revised downpipe (€1950/AU$2850).

Should you desire that full boy racer look, as depicted above, you’ll need to tick the boxes for the KW suspension, as well as the 20″ OZ alloy wheels. For a bit of extra cash you can also get your Golf R wrapped in foil to make it look heaps sick. Or something like that.

If you would like more RRRRR for your Golf R here in Australia, then you might be eager to learn more about the plans the local APR distributor has for its Golf R. Currently the engine is out and is about to undergo a full Stage III transformation. When its all put back together again you can expect some big numbers from that car, too.

More pics after the break.
