Can you imagine that the VW Golf R32 based on the Golf V was already available from September 2005? That’s already 11 years which, in my opinion, have passed the Wolfsburg almost without a trace. The performance data of 184 kW (250 PS) and 320 Nm of torque and the associated acceleration from 6,5 seconds to 100 km / h (with DSG = 6,2 seconds) and a top speed of 250 km / h can still be achieved let see. Of course, the all-wheel drive (4MOTION) available ex works makes a huge contribution to the good performance, that is clear. But a golf would not be a golf if it could not do much more. The Wolfsburg has been the benchmark for decades when it comes to tuning. And of course the team from KTS-Karosserietechnik is a perfect partner for special conversions. Don't forget the spectacular one VW Eos R36 and the one-time VW Golf 7 GTI convertible. And now you have done a great job with the currently published and of course modified vehicle. The owner of the car apparently did not like the serial quality of the VW Golf 5 R32 (MK5) and that was the basis for a few changes. He therefore gave the vehicle to KTS. We visit the KTS website almost daily to keep an eye out for new vehicles that we can then show you. We like the already finished vehicles of the tuner, which we already know, which we of course see as a reason to publish more from KTS.
Turbo conversion & BBS rims
We are therefore pleased that we have found the modified 5 Series Golf and can present it to you. As far as the tuning measures inside, outside or in relation to optionally installed technology and interior details are concerned, we have made ourselves smart and at least learned the most important changes for you. The R32 definitely stands out from the production model with the BBS Le Mans LM127 wheelset and the significant lowering. We were able to identify the main changes by looking closely at the pictures and of course KTS has also announced a few details. But unfortunately, we have so far lacked everything worth knowing about the turbo conversion.
We hope that we can deliver something soon. Also you can help us because maybe we have not discovered a small detail, because even we sometimes do not see the "forest for the trees". It is of course possible that you notice various other changes that we have not seen, but you sting directly in the eye. Everything that we could find in the pictures and received as information from the tuner, we present you below in the usual manner in a summary. If you still recognize further modifications, which are different by the conversion than with the series model, then write us please in the comment box under this contribution. We would be happy about that and would like to complete the article in this regard.
Ps. You liked KTS body technology? Then we have something for you, following a few examples which vehicles from KTS have already been released on tuning blog:
And if that is not enough for you, there is the complete overview by clicking on the name in the Photo Reference under this picture.
