Siemoneit Racing might not be a very familiar name but their latest creation really shows their experience in this domain. The German tuners decided to create a tuning kit for the current Volkswagen Golf R, a package which brings significant power upgrades while there are some aesthetic tweaks as well.

To start with, we will refer to the styling improvements which include a new weight-saving carbon fiber bonnet, new side skirts and also a set of five-spoke alloy wheels finished in the same black color as the body.

Undoubtedly, the big surprises can be found under the carbon fiber bonnet where the German specialists prepared some interesting improvements. We talk about a revised ECU unit able to squeeze 530 horsepower alongside a new stainless steel exhaust system, a new air intake, intercooler and high pressure fuel pump. Therefore, we talk about an important power upgrade because the standard Golf R offers only 265 hp, the German specialists doubling the figures.

Moreover, Siemoneit Racing claims that there are some improvements available for the DSG transmission. This means that the Germans can modify the gear shift points and gear shift times, modifications which won’t bring any performance boost but will fit better your needs. All the parts of this tuning kit are TÜV certified, therefore you get high quality components.

“Dynamic, self-confident and determined to go places – SIEMONEIT RACING from Stade gets a whole lot more out of all Volkswagen engines. Especially when it comes to the car's electronics, SIEMONEIT RACING from Stade in Niedersachsen promises more driving dynamics, more performance, more torque and what's more, even quicker and more intelligent gear changes with the S-Tronic and latest generation DSG automatic gearboxes,” says the tuning house.

Mini Countryman gets JCW version tested at Nurburgring

Having BMW as an adoptive parent is not the sort of thing that washes off the company by simply bringing success, there are some new standards to be met.

Mini remained of the list of manufacturers that create well handling cars, but has recently joined a list which includes those whose cars retain a mastering premium feel.

Apart from that, something within Mini changed and, much like BMW, they now endlessly test and hone their new cars at the Nurburgring.

It’s at the infamous Green Hell race track that spyshot photographers have seen the latest version of the Mini Countryman being put through its paces.

Don’t worry about the spy term coming up though, the JCW Mini Countryman is so far gone through the development stages that it’s not wearing any camouflage whatsoever.

Even though this is a John Cooper Works version with sporting DNA of a pretty big car for a brand like Mini it will still be using a pretty small engine.

By that I mean the Mini Cooper’s four cylinder 1.6 liter twin scroll turbocharged engine. That said though, in the JCW Countryman it’s expected to be turned up to around to around 230 horsepower.

With that in mind, no right minded buyer would complain that the Mini Countryman JCW is under-powered by any accounts.

In fact, there’s a risk of quite the contrary happening and the torque steer of 230 horsepower could turn out to be too much for amateur drivers.

As a result, Mini will almost certainly fit this sporty JCW version of the Countryman All4 all-wheel drive system in order to safely put all that grunt on the ground.

For those claiming to be that much more responsible, the new Mini Countryman JCW package will be offered with upgraded suspension and brakes to even further control that powerful engine it’s getting.

Those of you interested but not geeky enough to know how Mini’s all wheel drive system works might be interested in knowing how under normal circumstances it splits power evenly between the front and rear axle and when called upon it can shift the lot towards the back.

Mini have also taken care of how the Cuntryman JCW not only is faster but certainly looks the part thanks to new, bespoke alloy wheels, an aero body kit and a new front radiator grille.
