Singapore gets special Volkswagen GTI V50
Singapore has been singled out to receive a hotted up version of their Mark V Volkswagen GTI dubbed GTI V50. This gift to the island nation gets upgrades from APR including a Stage 1 ECU tune that adds 36 more horsepower and an additional 74 lb-ft of torque. Also underneath are a VW R32 brakes and calipers and a VW Performance exhaust. Together they’ll turn your 0-to-60 run into a 5.6-second affair, which takes more than a second off the standard GTI.
Outside, the body is adorned with go-fast cosmetics like a VW Performance body kit, white turn signals, blue-tinted glass, along with some bespoke 18-inch VW wheels and Pirelli rubber to round the whole thing out. The paint job is one we’d describe as “novel.” The GTI V50 will be a limited run, so expect a commensurate premium as another added feature.
