Dream in red - VW Jetta with subtle dapper tuning!

Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 12:08 am

It is treated rather neglected in Europe and viewed as a philistine car, although it is one of the best-selling VW models in the world - the Jetta. Especially in saloon-affine areas of the world, including China and the USA, the model is one of the best-selling VWs and in China even one of the best-selling car models on the market. It is no coincidence that the tuning scene overseas and Asia is very busy with the Jetta, and there are more and more tuned vehicles, which are mostly driven by young men who work on their cars themselves. The model that we are now introducing to you is making its rounds in the United States, where the Jetta is the Wolfsburg-based company's best-selling car model.

The red paint immediately catches the eye.

On this cherry-red Jetta, of course, the paintwork is immediately noticeable, but also the Airride chassis, with which the sedan crouches low on the ground and, with what feels like a few millimeters of ground clearance, mutates into an asphalt milling machine. Paired with 18-inch alloy wheels (18 × 8.5J, ET + 35) from VMR with the model name 705 (we also know from an A4), and the Hellaflush-Wheels, the standard-looking Jetta suddenly looks quite sporty. That falls immediately at the stern Cleaning on, whereby the VW emblem had to give way from the trunk lid. In addition, we have to note that the standard rear lights harmonize perfectly with the fiery red exterior color, and this symbiosis is even more effective because the silver VW logo has been removed. In line with the tuning style, the license plate of the car on which the word "DABBER" can be read is also an allusion to the Tuning style is. In any case, the Jetta would probably get applause at every tuning meeting of the VW scene in Europe, because the vehicle has been highly professional refined. With it, the owner shows many a tuner how to do it, how to turn a car like a VW Jetta into a show car that makes people turn around.

Hardly anything has been changed in the interior.

Not only the airbag-free sports steering wheel from Nardi, which replaces the conventional valance of the Wolfsburg, sets the interior apart from the series, but also the integrated iPad, which is installed instead of a conventional navigation system in the style of various Tesla vehicles. In addition, a Pioneer sound system was installed and the sports seats were transplanted from the VW Golf 6 GTI. In the trunk there is also the tank for the air lift Airride chassiswith the help of which the Jetta can vary the ground clearance at the push of a button. It is also striking that it is equipped with a manual transmission, and that in America, which is so obsessed with automatics, where manual switches only have a very small market share.

In terms of engine technology, everything has remained standard.

This US-VW has a 2,5-liter in-line five-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, which generates a relatively meager 170 hp and sufficient 240 Newton meters of torque. Paired with the “five-speed manual switch”, the front-wheel drive sedan at least reaches a top speed of 204 km / h and sprints from 8,5 to 0 in 100 seconds. This is easily enough for American standards, and you could also ride on a German autobahn annoy so many other cars with this Jetta. But that doesn't have to be the case, because you don't really want to race with the show car, you want to show what you can get out of a Jetta when it comes to looks.

Passion and creativity in tuning!
