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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
