JE Design Goes Wide with New Touareg

JE Design has set their sights on the facelift Touareg, adding a healthy dose of power to the V8 TDI and some much needed aggression to the SUV’s exterior.  By fitting an electronic lowering module, 22″ wheels and flared wheel arches among other aerodynamic touches, the relatively tame Touareg exterior is made to look downright tough.  JE has also installed a power module and custom exhaust tips, good for 410hp and 685tq, propelling the SUV to 60mph in just 5.4 seconds.

Read the full Press Release below.

  • Body kit, performance enhancement and suspension lowering for an individual touch
  • Additional control unit gives the V8-TDI 410 hp and 930 Nm torque
  • Components for other variants of the facelifted Touareg in preparation

Now with extra modern elegance and luxury: VW has given its Touareg flagship SUV a further major revamp for the 2015 model year. And as if that wasn’t enough, tuning specialist JE DESIGN has found even more scope for improvement. Increased power, suspension lowering and a complete aerodynamic kit for the R-Line version of the Touareg 7P 2015 make a real splash in terms of performance and individuality.

JE DESIGN is no stranger to the Touareg: based in Leingarten, Baden-Württemberg, the company has been involved with the premium SUV ever since it first rolled off the assembly line in October 2002, offering an extensive range of tuning and styling components for every Touareg model to date. It comes as no surprise therefore that JE DESIGN has had a major hand in the emergence of the Touareg’s latest incarnation. A complete body kit, consisting of radiator grille, front spoiler, wheel arch flares, roof spoiler and rear diffusor sets the Touareg 7P R-Line definitively apart from the crowd. The factory-fitted extendable trailer hitch can still be used despite the diffuser. The full kit costs 4,760 Euro. All components can also be used individually, although the wheel arch flares have to be fitted together with the front spoiler.

To complement the wider wheel arches, JE DESIGN offers wheel spacers and an electronic lowering module for the standard air suspension. The spacer plates (front 60, rear 80 mm per axle) cost 409 Euro and work best in combination with the JE 10×22 inch ET 55 “SUV-Select” wheels in matt black with matt silver front (complete wheel set with 295/30/R22 tires 2,990 Euro). The electronic lowering module costs 1,428 Euro.

Under the hood, a JE DESIGN additional control unit boosts the standard V8-TDI from 340 to 410 hp and 930 Nm torque (standard 800 Nm). The 2,399-Euro module comes with a two-year warranty on engine and transmission and accelerates the 0 to 100 km/h sprint by four tenths to 5.4 seconds. For an extra 595 Euro, you can add stainless steel twin tailpipes as a visual complement to the power boost.

And JE DESIGN has set its stamp on the interior too. A four-piece door sill panel set in brushed stainless steel with illuminated company logo in blue adds the perfect finishing touch to the R-Line SUV modification.

All JE DESIGN components for the 2015 VW Touareg 7P R-Line come with reports by an official inspection body. The aero kit also comes with a Swiss inspection certificate. All prices are inclusive of VAT, excluding mounting and painting. Components for other Touareg variants of the 7P generation are already in the pipeline.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
