APP Europe Tunes Up the VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI to 261HP

APP Europe has released their all new VW Scirocco coupe. The German tuner has put together a Scirocco 2.0TSI using parts from Rieger Tuning, KW Automotive, Wimmer Rennsporttechnik, CFC and MR Car Design.

The Scirocco's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine benefits from an upgraded ECU that costs �2,500 or US$3,300, courtesy of Wimmer Rensporttechnik, that boosts output from 200HP to 261HP and peak torque from 280Nm(206 lbs-ft) to 380Nm (280 lbs-ft) allowing the coupe to reach a top speed of 263km/h or 164mph.

Besides that, the Scirocco gains a sport exhaust system from MR Car Design (�1,599 or US$2,100) while the same company also provided a new limited slip differential (35%) for �2,990 or US$3,950. These changes call for an update on the DSG's software that will cost you an another �890 or US$1,180.

Braking power is provided by APP's high performance brake system (�3,220 or US$4,260) with 4-pistons and two-part slotted discs sized 355x32 mm while KW Automotive is the company of choice for a set of coilovers (�1,529 or US$2,020).

The new bodykit that includes a front apron (�599 or US$792), side skirts (�328 or US$433) and a rear apron with an integrated diffuser (�329 or US$435) is from Rieger. The optic highlights such as the black roof and red pin stripes are from CFC (prices weren't announced).

Last but not least, APP Europe equips the Scirocco with a set of 19-inch, 3-piece bi-colour aluminium wheels (complete set for �5,200 or US$6,870) wrapped in Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta high performance tires.
