Known as a relatively rare and slightly overpriced performance SUV, this VW Tiguan R has undergone an impressive metamorphosis in South Africa known as “RSR” project, experienced. A group of VW fans are not satisfied with the fact that the Tiguan R already has one 320 hp 2.0 TSI engine and the modern technology of the 8th Golf R, included 7-speed DSG and a new rear axle differential. They wanted more, much more! So we decided to change the engine (Motorswap), which is currently causing quite a stir in the VW community. The chosen engine, the 2.5 TFSI from Audi, known from the RS3 and RS Q3, not only ensures an unmistakable sound, but also impressive performance 400 PS. The legendary five-cylinder was stuffed into the Tiguan R, which gave it a boost in performance 80 PS received.
A VW Tiguan R with RS3 engine!
What's special about it is that the engine comes from an RS3 that belonged to the Tiguan owner's wife. Changing the engine was possible because both the Tiguan R and the Audi RS3 were similar ECUs use. And in addition to the new engine performance, the Tiguan R has also been visually upgraded. A complete Maxton design body kit with fats Sills and Spoilers was installed and in our eyes the visual highlight is the sentence Bentley rims in the wheel arches, which are provided by a Airride air suspension be pressed significantly deeper into the body. They round off the tuning picture very successfully, but they were not the last changes. Because they got further Chrome strips replaced with new ones painted in the vehicle color and the installation of one Sound system in the trunk also came along. However, there were no changes to the brakes, as the Tiguan R is already designed for high performance ex works.
Completed for VW Campfest 2023!
The extensive modifications were made by the South African tuner Bodyline carried out and just in time for VW Campfest 2023 finished, an event that in its own way is reminiscent of the best times of Wörthersee meeting remind. There was one there very positive feedback and the conversion was even considered one of the highlights of the tuning event. The conversion is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a statement in the world Tuning world, which shows what is possible with passion, specialist knowledge and a certain craziness in the segment, even far away from our European tuning culture. The Tiguan R with Audi RS3 2.5 liter power and Bentley aluminum stands as a successful example of how far you can go to transform an already good vehicle into an absolutely unique one.
