SW2 Tuning Confirms EuroCode’s Chassis Rigidity Products for GTI SW2

SW2 Tuning, Inc., the turn-key performance car tuner out of California currently developing the 2016 Mk7 GTI SW2, recently confirmed partnership with EuroCode Tuning to include their line of ÜSS Chassis Rigidity products on the final production GTI SW2 units, available Summer 2016.

Why EuroCode? EuroCode Tuning, Inc., based out of Torrance, California, has been a staple in the VAG tuning community since 2001, providing a full suite of tuning services up to and including full chassis modification and cage builds for their customers. As a company, EuroCode has owned, tested, and developed products for the Mk4 through Mk7 GTI platforms, giving them an intimate knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of each. These accolades make them the perfect partner for ensuring the GTI SW2’s chassis stiffness is up to par with the OEM-plus, motorsport-inspired goals set by SW2 Tuning for the car.

Why did SW2 Tuning choose the ÜSS Chassis Rigidity products for the GTI SW2?  They cite the following reasons, confirmed by testing they’ve done on their own development car:

  • The EuroCode ÜSS braces overall tie the chassis together at a significantly higher level than stock, resulting in a major change in driving dynamics especially at the limit of suspension travel.
  • The OEM Mk7 GTI MacPherson strut front suspension setup, often crash- and vibration-prone over the most abrupt of bumps, has a significantly more solid feel during bump-stop contact situations with the ÜSS Front Tower Brace installed.
  • The ÜSS Tunnel Brace ties together the central exhaust tunnel of the car, further reducing flex and chassis-related NVH.
  • The Rear Brace allows similar effects to the Front Tower Brace at the rear axle, with the added benefit of maintaining the GTI’s practicality and rear storage space.
  • SW2 Tuning says the effects given by these chassis braces contribute most importantly towards their overall goal of an OEM-plus level of refinement for the GTI SW2, both on road and track.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
