MR Car Design Golf R32

German tuner MR Car Design has come up with a kit for the good old Golf R32, the mark6.

This V6-powered R32 is still one of the hottest hatchbacks around and has an air of manliness about it! Compared to this, the civic Type-R looks bit, well, girly.

Now MR has turbocharged the engine and done some other tweaks to arrive at an astonishing power of 465PS (342 kW) and 550Nm (406 lb-ft). That’s over the top.

To cope, the car also gets OZ Ultraleggera HLT matt and powder-coated in two colours – 9J x 19“ ET45 with 225/35 ZR19 high-performance tires, Stoptech 4-piston braking system with 355×32 mm discs, and H&R racing suspension components.

MR Car Design VW Caddy

VW Caddy is of course a commercial van. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get a nice tuning job!

MR Car Design volunteered to give it one. The main feature of it however is an advanced air suspension system with remote adjustability system and everything. They’ve also used Rotiform-alloy wheels (8.5 x 19 inches) with 225/35-19 tires.

The company MR Car Design from Erftstadt has virtually transformed the high roof combi presented here in gleaming silver. The air suspension on the front and rear axle is adjusted comfortablely, and the height being at the front as well as at the rear is adjustable either remotely or automatically. This train of thought has been continued by Marcel Reil and his crew. The remarkable result is that this Caddy III is also available with air suspension for the rear axle.

Both with an ABE (general operating permission) and with a UBB (clearance certificate) from VW. It means that this Caddy III with MR Car Design can be quite well transformed for the needs of people with disability (ies) in a couple of seconds. In addition, this version is made for craftsmen with extreme load because of the leveling.

H&R VW Up

Volkswagen up is the other new hot out of oven car H&R has been working on.

They’ve came up with a sport set of suspension that lowers the new city car by 35 mm. The up is a small car and you wouldn’t want too much lowering because it’ll ruin the ride.

The same kit is also available for the 2012 VW Beetle but in that it drops the car by 40mm because the Beetle can handle it!

For the up the kit costs a mere 189 euro, and for the Beetle, that’s 237 euro. The up also looks kinda nice with those big wheels on, doesn’t it.
