APS of Brackley, UK importer for the Swiss based
Sportec range of vehicle performance enhancements, is pleased to
announce the launch of a new Stage One ECU upgrade package for the new
Volkswagen Golf R.
In standard form the turbocharged 2.0-litre four cylinder Golf R
produces 267bhp (200KW) and 258lb.ft (354Nm) of torque. Sportec’s
careful recalibration of the fuel, ignition timing and boost pressure
settings via an extensively proven ECU remap sees power output leap to
300bhp (224KW) at 6000rpm and 321lb.ft (440Nm) of torque at 2750 rpm,
delivering significant performance improvements which greatly increase
the driver enjoyment of the four wheel drive Golf R superhatch.
For example, the Golf R’s 0-100 kmh (0-62mph) acceleration time is
reduced from 5.7 to 5.3 seconds, with the top speed increasing to
160mph (265 kmh).
Suitable for both six speed manual and DSG versions of the Golf R, the
Sportec Stage One upgrade package is available now from UK Sportec
importer APS of Brackley, priced at £649.00 including installation,
road testing and VAT @ 17.5pc.
Škoda Auto is unveiling the new-look Fabia and Roomster
at this year's Geneva Motorshow. Škoda's compact cars have been given
an exciting exterior redesign, plus a fresh range of engines, packed
with new technology. The new design accentuates the cars' width,
with a totally redesigned face that gives both cars a more dynamic
look, increasing their road presence. Scout models have also been
redesigned, with a new Fabia hatch version making its debut in Geneva.
The new look is most evident in the redesigned radiator
grille and 3D-shaped headlamps, which have been considerably widened,
highlighting the stronger horizontal line of the cars' faces. This
gives both Fabia and Roomster a more dynamic look, while losing none of
the cars' elegance and appeal. Both vehicles now look more confident,
mature and expressive. The Fabia, Fabia Estate and Roomster also
receive a number of technological improvements including
state-of-the-art engines. This new engine portfolio is at the very core
of the changes, with the entire front structure being redesigned to
accommodate them.
Škoda will offer four petrol engines and two diesel
units in the UK, with power ranging from 60bhp to 105bhp in the Fabia
and from 70bhp to 105bhp in the Roomster. All engines comply with the
EU5 standard and deliver exceptionally low fuel consumption and CO2
emission levels. But Škoda's development efforts weren't only aimed
at improving efficiency - improved performance was also a key goal. Nowhere is this more apparent than when the new 1.2 TSI 105bhp petrol
engine is combined with the optimised, two-clutch seven-speed DSG
transmission.
This delivers impressive power with excellent combined
fuel consumption of just 53.3 mpg. The four-cylinder 1.2 TSI engine is
available in two power levels - 85 bhp and 105bhp. Both of these will
also be available with a five-speed manual transmission. Both diesel
units are fitted with high-pressure Common Rail injection, with a
pressure of up to 1,600 bar combined with fast-responding piezoelectric
injectors that are able to perform as many as five injections within
one beat, resulting in improved engine refinement. Both diesel engines
feature particulate filters as standard and CO2 emissions are under
110g/km.
