2020 Guangzhou Auto Show: Jetta VS5 modified version unveiled

[Autohome? New car debut]? On the media day of the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Jetta VS5 modified version was officially unveiled. This car was built by the team of Chen De’an, founder of De’an Motorsports, in 20 days. In 1999, the Jetta GTX produced by FAW-Volkswagen was officially registered as an international Group N competition car, becoming the first "domestic" car to enter international competitions. And now the Jetta VS5, which was modified according to international competition standards, has officially debuted. It must be said that this is also a kind of inheritance.

In terms of appearance, the new car still retains most of the original appearance of the Jetta VS5, and its front air intake grille, grille shape and headlight cluster shape have not changed. The difference is that the new car has a front lower skirt under the front apron, and the height of the car is also significantly reduced.

Looking from the side of the car body, the original shock absorbers have been replaced with competition shock absorbers, the brake calipers have also been replaced with competition brake sets, and the rims have been replaced with multi-spoke rims. To adapt to the more intense track environment. Judging from the rear shape of the car, the new car has changed the hidden exhaust layout in the original model to a more aggressive and sporty center-mounted single exhaust.

But the most eye-catching thing about this car is undoubtedly its paint. The new car uses bright blue and white as its main colors. The Jetta brand logo and slogans such as "From Volkswagen, Serving People with Virtue" and "German DNA VW Quality (German DNA, Volkswagen Quality)" are printed on the side of the car. The words "FAW? VOLKSWAGEN (FAW-Volkswagen)" are printed on the rear part of the car.

As for the interior, in order to comply with international competition standards, the interior of the new car was dismantled to reduce weight, and an in-car roll cage, bucket racing seats, racing steering wheel, and 4-point safety were installed. Wait.

In terms of power, the new car is still equipped with the original 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m; while the transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox. (Text/Car Home? Chen Can)
