blogentry-133713-0-93821800-1510298620_thumb.jpgA new Performance Pack for the facelifted U.K. market Golf R has been launched by Volkswagen. It is available to both the DSG and manual versions of the car.

 

blogentry-133713-0-46964900-1510298629_thumb.jpgThe pack includes an upgraded braking system that shaves 2kg off the standard system, a set of larger 19-inch Spielberg alloy wheels and a new tailgate-mounted spoiler.

 

Also included in the Pack is an increase of the hot hatch's top speed to 270km/h, up from 250km/h.

 

blogentry-133713-0-68528000-1510298625_thumb.jpgFor those who want more, they can also specify a new exhaust system that complements the Pack. The new exhaust, produced by Akrapovic, features round tailpipes rather than the stock oval ones and comes with a valve control technology that enhances the exhaust sound. It is also lighter by 7kg as compared to the stock exhaust system.

Well, latest one was a tad bit, @191 K about 11K over the clearance stock unit at 180K. So price to sell. The 2018 units however is asking for 231K. Thats asking alot for the car

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream).
