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.

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.
