 Thirty years ago Volkswagen launched the GTI, the “hot hatch” that would revolutionize the concept of affordable and accessible high-performance motoring. Now comes the R GTI, a look forward into the future of compact car performance, making its debut at the 2006 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on October 31... Full Story...

neato VW. What would be extra neato is if VW could get some of this stuff into the hands of consumers, rather than relocating it to the black hole that is conceptual designs.

Is that even English?  They should take a hint form this and put it into the US 25th. Seats, check, steering wheel check. New customer, check. Outside is a bit agressive, but that is what SEMA is about.
to VW on that car.

I agree, this is badass, someone needs to contact VW to buy the carbon molds, even in fiberglass they'd be sick. Calling some advertiser to purchase!

Does the fact that VW teamed up with APR on this car suggest a future involvement between the 2 companies? Possibly a factory tuning program like Subaru's SPT or Honda's HFP.

I would love to see these items in the "drive gear" catalog.
Dear VW,
Thank you for again showing us all that you could take this market with little to no problem. Then, of course letting us all down. I think north america has proven to be a viable market area, I have just one question, why not??????? why not offer us a more complete line of your vehicles & motors & drive train options. Even better, why not bring back VWMotorsport and offer us some nice tid-bits for the beloved autos we buy from you! I think if you polled us, most of us would give up valuable body parts to see some of these carbon components available to the general market!!! You obviously know what we like, now you just need to give us what we want  alas, this all falls on deaf ears

I guess APR will sell a version of the turbo kit, and Osir can market the body pieces. What about the wheels? Will VW or whoever made them bring them to market? I don't care about the red barrels; it's the spoke design I like.

OK VW step up to the plate and give us more power from the factory. We are always to steps behind in power. 200 HP is just not cutting it and 250 from the DSG R32 is not doing it. Give us ho love to drive VW some B-lls.
