The Volkswagen EOS you see above may only have a subtle looking bodykit but if you tick the right checkboxes on the B&B tuning options list it could be a monster putting out 500 horsepower and 650Nm of torque!
Not quite enough to rival the Golf GTI W12 650 Concept but still a hell lot of power for a front wheel drive convertible. The fact that it is a convertible without a roof also means a less rigid chassis. 0 to 100km/h can be hit in 4.2 seconds, and 200km/h in 13.5 seconds, up to a top speed of 308km/h.
There are various levels of tune for the engine ranging from the base 360 horses option, up to 400, 450 and finally the 500 horsepower option. The 500hp tuning kit includes a new intercooled turbocharger, a new cylinder head with lowered compression, special suction and airflow pipes, high-powered injection elements and an upgraded fuel pump that is more precise in its fuel delivery. The engine has been strengthened with uprated ledges, gaskets and etc. A special slim line oilcooler stabilizes the oil temp, and finally there is a racing exhaust system.
Of course to achieve all of this to begin with you need a Volkswagen Eos. Volkswagen Malaysia sells one for RM250k OTR without insurance. CIMB’s currently on-going Dream Deposit Drive competition offers 4 Volkswagens to anyone who deposits their cash into a CIMB deposit account. Each RM500 gets you one entry. April’s car is the Golf GTI and the Eos will be May’s car, so bank in your cash in May!
Much better than the lottery as you don’t lose your cash if you don’t win.
