SW2 Tuning Announces Development of Turn-Key Mk7 Golf GTI

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com] SW2 Tuning, Inc. is pleased to announce a special new vehicle: the 2016 VW Golf GTI SW2.

Faster around the track than a Mk7 Golf R and more aggressive even than the Euro-only GTI Clubsport, the GTI SW2 is the ultimate hot-hatchback. SW2 Tuning is positioning itself to become the industry’s premier turn-key performance car tuner, and the GTI SW2 will be the first car to realize the potential of that goal.

The GTI SW2 is based on the Mk7 Golf GTI with Performance Package, and comprises a complete turn-key, package tuned vehicle, individually serial numbered and ready to be enjoyed by its owner. Available in Spec-S, Spec-R, and Spec-R Club forms, and encompassing a deep options list to suit the driving and/or detail-oriented enthusiast, the GTI SW2 is for the discerning and experienced driver; the meek need not apply.

The GTI SW2 is currently in its beta R&D and track-testing stage to ensure OEM levels of drivability and refinement. As the project progresses, follow GTI SW2’s development on SW2 Tuning’s blog, which is documenting the R&D stage every step of the way.

In related news, SW2 Tuning’s performance tuning parts division, currently found at SW2tuning.com will be rebranded in the coming months as “SW2 Tuning Warehouse,” maintaining its current tuning parts catalog of over 200 brands. Some very exciting and exclusive brands will be added to the roster soon, thanks to the partnerships being formed with the GTI SW2 project.

Check back weekly for more on the GTI SW2 project.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

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.
