Thumbs up This VW is VERY impressive. WOW

The Jetta R GT concept

It is modified by HPA Motorsports the volkswagen specialist.

Here are some spec. decriptions from VW:

HPA replaced the base 2.5-liter engine with a twin-turbocharged, twin-intercooled, 550-horsepower variant of VW’s 3.2-liter, 240-horsepower six-cylinder V6 that powers the R32. To ensure that every bit of the torque gets to the ground in the most entertaining way possible, HPA fit VW’s highly acclaimed DSG twin-clutch transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel drive, both systems suitably modified by HPA to complement the engine’s bravura performance. A KW FIA GT 3-way coil-over race suspension and WRC-spec Brembo brake system were also installed to help harness the forces unleashed by the twin-turbo V6.

Very cool car and looks like this is one concept car that will be on the road in 2007 from what was said a SEMA.

If so, this the BR Evo. cars should be offered in all Mits. dealers accross the nation in stage I, II, and III



If this Jetta comes true, I will have one parked along side my Evo IX MR

Thumbs up

The car has a built in roll cage and says it will be offered with racing slicks.

Talk about a true tuner car

RalliartEvoVIII you noticed my signature huh? Yes I do have a GT35R equipped Hayabusa that will make over 600whp, but that is really leaning on it. It is a Grudge race bike and only starts for $$$$. Do you own a motorcycle as well?

And a car vs. a motorcycle isn't a good comparison. Just thought this VW was very impressive and simular to what Buschur is doing with the BR Evo. That is what I saw when I read that HPA Motorsports was involved with this Jetta.
