If you didn’t like the looks of Abt Golf GTI but fancy its extra power, do not despair because another German tuner called MR CarDesign gives you the same 260hp but they do nothing terrible to the exterior! In fact they don’t do anything to the car’s body, only some lowering and new rims, and that’s about it! Instead they focus on performance.

MR CarDesign treatment for the engine includes a software upgrade for the Golf’s 2.0 liter TFSI engine’s ECU which costs 949 euros, with that alone you 260hp and 380 nm of torque, with 0 to 100 sprint time of 5.8  seconds, while you’ll be able to reach 263 km/h top speed.

They also install an electronic XDS system which they say ” is supposed to is supposed to improve the traction of the front wheel driven car “!! For proper stopping power, MR fits the car with an expensive Stoptech high performance brake system which costs about 3000 euros but comes with 355mm discs. There is also brake caliper air vent plug which goes for 99 euros!

MR’s Golf GTI uses KW-thread-sport suspension which costs 1529 euros and drops the car by 50mm at front and 40mm at rear. As for the wheels, they offer 19 inch Oxigin aluminum rims (just like JMS Scirocco) for 2000 euros.  And the last item for your upgraded GTI is a sport exhaust package for 1600 euros.
