Volkswagen Golf GTI by Rieger

Volkswagen Golf GTI has received a new tuning package, this time from the Germans at Rieger. We are talking about an aesthetic package completed by a set of wheels and a sport exhaust system.

Rieger tuners have developed a new aesthetic package for Volkswagen Golf GTI. The package consists of a set of alloy wheels and a number of aesthetic elements made of fiberglass with ABS inserts. Some elements of this package are made of carbon fiber – such as the splitter for front bumper and the diffuser mounted in the rear bumper. For now, those of Rieger have not announced any details about a future performance package developed for the VW Golf GTI.

Rieger aesthetic package for VW Golf GTI contains a spoiler for tailgate’s door, a set of side sills with air vents and a set of OZ brand alloy wheels. The front wheels have a diameter of 20 inches and width 8.5 inches, while the rear axle wheels the same size. These wheels are fitted with 235/30 R20 tires.

The possible Veyron killer – the Hennessey Venom GT

I think it can say that I was waiting for quite a long time for such a car namely a Bugatti Veyron killer and here we got. At the moment these words are not so sure but there are still some chances and at last, these two cars will compete very much namely the Bugatti Veryron and the Hennessey Venom GT.

First of all, you should know that this Hennessey Venom GT comes with a 6.2 liters LS9 V8 engine which is also placed on the Corvette ZR1 and it can develop up to 725 horsepower.

Anyway, the company will also give away engines of 1000 horsepower and also 1200 horsepower. You should also know that it can reach 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds having a top speed of 262 miles per hour. I think that you expect quite a big price and you’re right, the prices will jump around $600,000.

Production Hyundai Genesis Coupe to get turbo as option

According to John Krafick, Hyundai’s vice president of product development in America, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe will be available with turbo power when it debuts in the spring of 2009. The turbocharged engine will be the first offered by Hyundai in the U.S.

The turbo option will be available in the 4-cylinder engine that Hyundai is building with its joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe will also be available in a 3.8 liter V6 engine that is estimated to produce more than 300 horsepower. Estimated 0-60 time is said to be less than 6 seconds.

Krafcik said that the turbo option won’t be limited to the Genesis Coupe. “We like the idea of turbo, so we’ll do others,” Krafcik told Automotive News. “I think the timing is good because no one else has a four-cylinder, rear-drive platform with a turbocharger.”

Regarding hybrid and diesels Krafcik said Hyundai has no current plans to offer either. “We’ll get more horsepower and better gas mileage through smaller displacement and direction injection,” he said. “People talk about diesels all of the time, but it’s extremely expensive.”

Hyundai has said that Genesis Coupe and the next-generation Tiburon will be two different models.

“When it hits the market in early 2009, we aim to deliver a driving experience that challenges cars like Infiniti G37, at prices more like Mitsubishi Eclipse,” said Krafcik.
