BBM Motorsport Gives the Volkswagen GTI a big “Plus”

BBM Motorsport GTI Plus

It’s Dubber time!

The Volkswagen GTI has always been a favorite for enthusiasts for its driving dynamics. It’s also a favorite amongst aftermarket tuning companies due to its love for modifications. The seventh-generation MkVII GTI is no different. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine loves to be tuned and its chassis is ripe for upgrades. BBM Motorsport showed off what they could do with the hot hatch in their new GTI Plus that sports all sorts of fun goodies to play with.

To start things off, the 2.0 TSI engine was equipped with a few relatively minor upgrades that yielded quite an increase in power. BBM Motorsport installed a new air intake system and Supersprint exhaust that includes downpipes, sport catalytic converters, and 100 mm tailpipes to reduce backpressure. A full ECU tune ensures all of the upgrades work in harmony and the four-cylinder turbocharged engine spits out a fiery 300 horsepower from 6,100 to 6,700 RPM and 325 lb-ft. of torque from 2,150 to 4,750 RPM – an increase of 70 horsepower and 66 lb-ft. of torque over the stock model.

But the fun doesn’t stop there on the BBM Motorsport GTI Plus. A new set of Stoptech four-piston calipers bite down on 328 x 25 mm discs help bring things to a halt, quicker. Keeping these potent brakes out of pain sight are new BBS CH-R wheels measuring 19-inches and wearing a titan grey finish with polished stainless steel contact protection. As with all Volkswagen models, the “lower it” rule applies. So, BBM Motorsport installed a new KW DDC coilover setup with electronic hardness and lowering functions that can reduce ride height from 20 to 55 mm. Customers can also opt for the KW Variants 1, 2, and 3 for the GTI Plus as well.
