2009 Jetta TDI SportWagen

Powered by the 2.0-liter Clean Diesel TDI, delivering 140 horsepower and 235 ft.-lbs. of torque, the new Jetta SportWagen uses readily available body components and is finished in custom paint and graphics. To reinforce the sport in this wagon, the Jetta's underpinnings were upgraded by H&R Springs to lower its ride height and sharpen its handling capabilities.

The Jetta TDI SportWagen remains firmly planted with 19-inch Sportec Wheels and Yokohama Tires wrapped around an upgraded Brembo brake kit, providing high-performance stopping power. Hella provides up-level lighting components.

2008 Passat Station Wagon

The Passat Wagon Hi-Def styling package is complemented with European specification Hella lighting and 18-inch Velos wheels wrapped in Nitto performance tires. The vehicle features a 2.0-liter TFSI engine, rated at 200 horsepower and 207 ft-lbs. torque.

2007 GTI 4 door

Using the GTI high-performance 2.0 L TFSI engine with 200 horsepower and 207 ft.-lbs. torque mated to a six-speed transmission, the team mounted R32 brakes and rotors, Volkswagen lowering springs, and a custom Vibrant Performance center exit exhaust. With the availability of both Thunder Bunny and R32 components, the GTI was dressed with a new Thunder Bunny front bumper, flared side skirts, and R32 rear valance, creating a sporty and aggressive street style. Completing the exterior styling is custom Hella lighting, darkened tail lamps, and soon-to-be-introduced 18-inch Karthoum wheels finished in black with machined highlights. The wheels are wrapped in Nitto high-performance tires.
