VW launched the Passat back in 1973 which in the beginning came with two and four door family car. Later it came with other versions with three- and five-doors. Maybe it's unusual for them, but at that time it was an ideal design, or their quality engines etc. We've met several times with modifications of these cars, sometimes well-mannered and sporting, another time violent looks. But every time it was exceptional. Here further we will talk about the tuning process of VW Passat.

Volkswagen Passat Still in Demand

Find someone who doesn't know the world-renowned VW Passat of 4th generation. A big car appears heavy and huge with a simple design ...
... but especially stylish and deluxe. Many years have gone since its first model was produced and this car is still in demand. Certainly it's not only for a specific exterior but also for its great engines. VW should be proud of such things.

Let's first talk about the mechanism changes to be brought. To help avoid traction loss when driving on slick surfaces, a Torsen AWD system can be utilized for this purpose. Power can be improved and turbo charged with diesel with a TDI engine which produces 135 PS. Best parts about this engine is that it utilizes diesel for fuel economy and its ability to operate with biofuels, an inexpensive alternative to gas. This Torsen AWS system usually comes with the four wheel drive version.
Before tuning let us talk about the VW passat in the form to bodywork. The bodywork of VW passat comprises extensions under front and rear bumper, sills, rims, front grills, rear wing, eyebrows, door back mirrors, optical roof extension and exhaust tips. For quite a big change let's take a closer look.
The front division was simply, but fancy changed by the new extension under the front bumper. The extension matches with the front bumper openings. The extension has also three extended openings occupied with a black penetrated sheet. These openings are used like a décor and help to turn cold engine parts.
The final step is wheels. Three types of rims are available to fit into. In the first case you can have 19"chromed 5-spoked SMC design SV rims suitable for show-cars. Secondly, 18" 10-spoked Tomason TN1 rims are available. And finally 19" 15-spoked ASA ZR1 can be mounted.
