With the DSG cars they even run the VAQ in them also. I think the sequential box cars gets quaife....

The sequential boxes get a clutch type, not a quaife/torsen/wavetrac type.

Also they are both port and direct injected.

Damn they do come with modified VAQs:

It does come with a different coupling clutch though for the DSG. It's sintered metallic, so this isn't like a completely off the showroom floor box. Still pretty impressive.

Ready to race!
Wheels?



Anyone know the name of these wheels? Are they available to purchase or a concept design?

It’s like the Austins had a love child with Pretorias and I NEED them!

So far, not many details have been revealed about the GTI TCR production vehicle (different than the GTI TCR this thread started as, mind you ;) )other than "clubsport-lite" basically. The wheels are sick, agreed.

I did a double take on that interior shot... my guess is that the steering wheel's hanging from a hook

Got a reply from Volkswagen Motorsport, they won't sell body panels to VIN'd cars. Has to be a body in white TCR. It's a liability for a car to be driven on the street with them. Bummer was hoping to run the TCR kit over the rocket bunny.

As for the brakes I contacted AP Racing and am waiting to hear back. Mainly concerned with which model calipers and mounts they use front/rear. The caliper design is slightly different from the ones listed on their website.

At this point I just wish I had $100k to buy a TCR lol.

1. They make a replica kit molded from a real TCR kit. Its $10,000 (fiberglass) or $15,000 (carbon fiber) + $3000 for the wing.
2. The AP racing caliper is listed in the TCR info PDF
3. There are currently 3 TCR's for sale for $75,000-$100,000 USD depending on DSG vs sequential.
