The Volkswagen Golf GTD is absolutely one of the most outstanding racing cars ever built by the German based carmaker, the model already being impressive with its high-performance features.

But recently, the aftermarket specialists from the MR Racing, who are famous for their upgrade programs carried out on a lot of racing cars, have managed to further develop a tuning kit as well as some other features performed to the body style.

We are talking here about the Rieger body kit, with a 40 mm widening of the front wheel arches, along with some other parts, like the sports side skirts, adjustable rear spoiler, rear diffuser, the new dual exhaust system, all complemented by the 20-inch alloy wheels with the 235/30R20 Hankook Ventus S1 tires.

But perhaps you were wondering about the power boost under the hood. Unfortunately, the MR Racing tuning division has not revealed any performance details, but the Golf GTD is already packing a 2.0-liter TDI unit, with 135 kW and impressive 380 Nm of torque, enough to reach 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, all in the stock form.

But in the modified form, the Volkswagen Golf GTD has received the new air filter and some other mods to the engine software, the sports now developing 162 kW and 450 Nm of torque. With all this power, we might be talking about 0.5 seconds faster time from 0 to 100 km/h.
