blogentry-133713-0-59820200-1400569881_thumb.jpgWe recently tested the new Volkswagen Golf R and think that it is a well rounded ultmate hot hatch. But I guess there must be quite a few people out there that think that 280bhp is not enough, since Volkswagen is going to come up with a even hotter Golf in the future. Meanwhile, to satisfy those that want more power, they could get Oettinger to breathe some magic into their Golf R.

 

blogentry-133713-0-55721400-1400568551_thumb.jpgSo what do they have for you? How about 394bhp, 498Nm of torque, 0-100km/h in less than four seconds and a top speed of more than 280km/h sound? Pretty impressive in our opinion! For comparison sake, that is a whopping 114bhp more than the what came from the factory and this is the same power output of a current Subaru Impreza 1.6! Torque is almost twice of what a Golf Sport produces too.

In order to get such impressive numbers, Oettinger replaced the original turbocharger with a bigger one plus a new exhaust system and of course a remapped ECU. An optional high-performance brake system is also available to make sure it is able to rein in all that newfound pace.

  • 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). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
