The Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition racing car will finally be made available come January, a concept race car that was initially shown at the SEMA 2008 in Las Vegas. It comes equipped with the TDI Cup Edition Kit which includes a front bumper, side skirts and rear valance. The Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition will also feature a 2.0-liter clean diesel engine loaded with 140HP paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Other notable enhancements include an 18” Charleston wheels with performance all-season tires, sports seats and a multi-function steering wheel that features paddle shifters when equipped with the DSG transmission.

The Motor Show held in Frankfurt this September brought a new R version of the MK VI Golf from Volkswagen. I am talking about the R20, a car that’s now rumored to be sent to U.S. customers too. No decision has been made in that matter but we might see VW officials announce both the two- and four-door R20 versions be announced for the U.S. market soon. It remains to be seen whether the R20 will be available with a choice of manual or DSG transmission, but the R20 seems certain to arrive with all-wheel drive. If it makes it the the States! What do you say? Anxious? Excited? Bored?
