How's this for a cool end of model release!

That's cool: R32 brakes, Pirelli wheels, a chip and a black bonnet... That could save a lot of people some time and hassle

The web site says it is a 'Volkswagen' ECU upgrade. This is more than just an S3 in GTI clothing...

I'm sure it's all understated for Singapore registration rules

Hop on over to Singapore and bring a few back on a big boat! I'll take one in 6 years hahaha

Does Singapore have both the Pirelli and v50? or just the v50?

[Guy_H]

Not sure on that.

I do know that the GTI cost over $120,000 USD in Singapore.

And they have to pay an enormous fee (tens of thousands of dollars) just for the right to own a car as well. I'll pass at that price! LOL

Say what?!

[Big Yellow]

Say what?!

prices of cars over there are ridiculous!!

When i was studying at Uni, I was mates with a few guys over from Singapore and they were all driving brand new Mercedes and BMWs. Not base model ones either, but E-class and 5 series etc and one had a GL500!

I was like wtf how the hell you guys afford these. All of them said their parents gave them money to buy it here so they can ship it back home once they finished their courses!

Personal imports FTW LOL

I spent 3-4 weeks in Singapore over the Christmas period and dropped into a few car places while there - including VW. A GTI in Singapore started at around $105k (Aussie Dollars) with no options. They also had GTI's in the show room that were being sold brand new with an aftermarket bodykit (I can't recall which one).

The cheapest new car in Singapore would be around say $50k for a Hyundai or the like.

Yeah its their way to try and limit the numbers of cars on the roads. Everybody is into their public transport over there. It's a relatively tiny island.

[VW Convert]

Come to think of it, why would you bother chipping a car there? There are no open roads like here, would be flat out getting over 90Ks wherever you go on the island and can travel the length of the island in less than 40 minutes!
