Bridge to Gantry Spots Golf GTI ‘Clubsport’ Lapping the Ring

We’re going to file this under ‘interesting.’  Nurburgring fan site Bridge to Gantry has posted images of what appears to be a more focused Golf GTI, which they are calling the GTI Clubsport.  We can’t tell a whole lot from the images, but what we can see is that the car has been fitted with a larger rear spoiler, more aggressive front bumper, deep chin spoiler and flared arches among other aesthetic touches.  The car also has a roll cage fitted, but we’d assume that is just for testing.

According to the short writeup on their site, Bridge to Gantry claims that the vehicle has a proper manual gearbox and is equipped with a new differential and enough power to go head to head against cars like the new Civic Type R and Renault Megane RS.  We’ve been hearing rumblings for quite some time about this car, but never really saw much in the wild.  As for availability, we’ll just have to wait and see.

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...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
