JE DESIGN Brings Leon Cupra ST Widebody to Essen

Premiere at the Essen Motor Show
Widebody in its best form
Power increase up to 350 PS possible

It comes from JE DESIGN! The Leon Cupra WIDEBODY Race 350, put on wheels by the refiner JE DESIGN from the Swabian Leingarten, currently holds the official world record for street-legal front wheel drive vehicles at the Sachsenring. Right on time for the Essen Motor Show (November 28 until December 6, 2015), the team led by Jochen Eckelt presents the next blockbuster – a Leon Cupra ST in a customized widebody kit. Power boost, flap exhaust system and complete wheel set support the sporty optics.

A three-part bumper attachment, massive wheel arch flares front and rear, side skirts in carbon look and a rear apron with two molded diffusers make the compact station wagon into a power athlete. The widebody kit in the style of the Cup Racer is available for 4,879 Euro. At a price of 809 Euro, the refiner offers a rear diffuser that fits both the original exhaust and the JE DESIGN flap exhaust system. Sporty and ambitious drivers who want to hunt their Cupra ST down the race track grab the LED rain lights corresponding to the FIA regulations (249 Euro). This can be easily integrated into the rear diffuser.

Such a racy optic needs the right sound! The tuning specialists JE DESIGN know this. They offer a stainless steel flap exhaust system with EC approval for the Leon Cupra ST. This is controlled by the original driving profile selection made by Seat. The driving profiles Normal, Sport and Cupra can be selected. In the profiles Normal and Sport, the exhaust flap is closed and the exhaust sounds sporty but discreet. Cupra mode is different: With the flap open, the exhaust system reveals its full sound – music to the ears of Seat fans. Priced at 2,499 Euro, there is a sound upgrade made of four striking tailpipes with a diameter of 80 millimeters each. For 1,178 Euro extra, the downpipe jointly developed by JE DESIGN and HJS for the flap exhaust system with 76 mm diameter is available. This accessory also has an EC approval.

JE DESIGN emphasizes the sporty appearance with a performance upgrade for the Cupra ST. An additional electronic box allows the power of 206 kW/280 hp to be increased to 258 kW/350 hp with a maximum torque of 440 Nm. It doesn’t top off until a speed of 280. The performance enhancement includes a two-year warranty on engine, driveline and transmission (from the first registration) at a price of 2,299 Euro.

The spring set for 191 Euro, available for the original shock absorbers, provides 20 millimeters lowering. Alternatively, JE DESIGN offers the KW coilover suspension DDC Plug & Play. The application, available for 2,299 Euro, brings the fiery Spaniard as much as 45 millimeters closer to the tarmac.

Complete wheel sets with light alloy wheels from ATS or OZ up to a size of 10 x 19 inches and 265/30 R19 tires complete the offer. Prices start at 2,052 Euro.

All prices include VAT, excluding mounting and painting. Complete conversions are possible directly from JE DESIGN – acceptance by an official inspection organization included. For more information about the products offered, please visit www.je-design.de

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
