Farewell gift for current-model: BBM Motorsport tunes the VW Golf GTI

The current model of the Volkswagen Golf is just weeks away from its curtain call, with its successor set to take over. While the buzz is ongoing for the new generation model, let's not forget the great work this current model has done. In fact, BBM Motorsport shows this appreciation by tuning the outgoing model, turning up the style of the current Golf GTI with some enhancements.

BBM Motorsport tuners remapped the engine's ECU and installed a custom exhaust system, all for the purpose of increasing the power output of the 4-cylinder 2.0-litre turbocharged engine by 63bhp and 100Nm , for a grand total of 271bhp and 380Nm of torque.

More power requires a better braking system which is why the tuners at BBM Motorsport have installed StopTech red four-piston calipers, along with a beefed up suspension courtesy of KW. The Volkswagen Golf VI GTI now rides on a fresh new set of 20-inch alloys wrapped around in 235/30 R20 rubbers.

CFC-Styling was in charge of covering the car in a matte blue foil wrap, while carbon fibre was used for the hood, rear diffuser and the mirror caps.
