[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

  • Street racer with a sporty but discreet look
  • Peak power of 350 hp at 440 Nm
  • Driving pleasure guaranteed by expert reports

New year, new project(s): Just a few weeks after the successful debut of the Seat Leon Cupra ST Widebody, JE DESIGN is celebrating the premiere of the “Street Race” model of the refined compact station wagon. It is not as muscle-bound as the widebody model in its appearance, but it does look just as athletic. Custom-fit aerodynamic components, a coilover suspension, 19 inch wheels, a flap exhaust system, as well as the peak power of 350 hp emphasize the sporty but discreet appearance of the street racer from JE DESIGN.

A tailor-made, three-part bumper attachment provides the front of the vehicle with an aggressive external appearance. The attachment is available for 833 Euro and is also suitable for vehicles that are fitted with an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) radar sensor. The side skirts developed by JE DESIGN (322 Euro) also visually emphasize the lowering of the sporty station wagon. Drivers who want to race their Cupra ST down the race track opt for the LED rain lights that comply with FIA regulations (249 Euro). These can be easily integrated into the rear diffuser (572 Euro).

Regardless of whether it’s the three-door, five-door or ST model, the front and skirt components are suitable for all FR and Cupra designs from Seat’s current Leon 5F model type. For the rear valance and diffuser, JE DESIGN believes in customized solutions for the body styles mentioned above.

The same is true when it comes to the suspension. For example, the spring set for 191 Euro – available for the original shock absorbers – enables the car to be lowered by 20 millimeters. Alternatively, the range of the refiner from Leingarten includes the KW coilover suspension DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) Plug & Play. The application costs 2,299 Euro plus installation costs and brings the compact from Spain up to 45 millimeters closer to the tarmac.

When it comes to the rims, individualists are spoiled for choice. This is also the case at JE DESIGN. Among other things, the professional refiner offers the TENSPOKE rim measuring 8 x 19 inches (offset 45) and in the finishes matt black or black gloss with silver glossy front for the “Street Race” model. Their unit price amounts to 274 Euro. Customers who opt for this light alloy wheel can continue to use the original 235/35 R19 set of tires.

A stainless steel flap exhaust system with EC approval provides the sound that matches the race design. This can be controlled via the original driving profile selection in the cockpit. The driving profiles Normal, Sport and Cupra can be selected. In the profiles Normal and Sport, the exhaust flap remains closed and the exhaust sounds sporty but discreet. In Cupra mode, the flap is opened and the exhaust lets rip its full sound. The sound upgrade made of four striking tailpipes with a diameter of 80 millimeters each can be had for 2,499 Euro. 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.

Looking for more power? The add-on electronics box developed by JE DESIGN teases 258 kW/350 hp out of the power unit (series: 206 kW/280 hp) with a maximum torque of 440 Nm. The top speed is limited to 280 km/h. The performance enhancement includes a two-year warranty on engine, driveline and transmission (from the first registration) at a price of 2,299 Euro.

All parts come with reports by an official inspection body. The flap exhaust and the downpipe have an EC approval. The FIA LED rain light is only approved for use on race tracks.

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
