(2) 2010 VW Jetta TDI CUP "Street" Editions Available at Martin Nemer Volkswagen

Racetrack Inspired Street Edition

Volkswagen kicks off the 2010 Jetta TDI Cup racing season with a special edition Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition. Only 2,500 of these replica race cars will be built, each equipped with the award-winning 2.0-liter clean diesel engine that produces 140 horsepower and a broad torque curve, with a road-scorching output of 236 lb.-ft. This remarkable engine makes use of an advanced electronically controlled turbocharger and common rail direct injection technology, and can be matched with either a six-speed manual transmission or the highly acclaimed DSG transmission - the same double-clutch automatic gearbox used in TDI Cup race cars.

For clean-diesel enthusiasts and fans of the racing series - now in its third season- the 2010 Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition is as fun to drive as it is visually appealing. With the sports-tuned chassis from the GLI and responsive turbo-diesel power, the Jetta TDI Cup Edition delivers road-hugging handling along with extraordinary fuel economy and ultra-low CO2 emissions. Think of it as a "GLI TDI" - the environmentally friendly sports sedan of the future.

Exterior and Chassis Features

In addition to "TDI Cup" graphics emblazoned along the lower bodysides of the car, the Jetta replica racer features significant chassis enhancements over the standard Jetta, such as larger disc brakes with red calipers, a European sport-tuned suspension and sway bars from the performance-oriented Jetta GLI. High-performance all-season 18-inch tires are mounted on eye-catching "Charleston" multi-spoke alloy wheels. For an even more aggressive look that is almost identical to the TDI Cup race cars, there is an optional body kit that features sculpted side sill extensions, a rear valence panel, and unique front fascia with prominent mesh-covered lower air intakes. A wing spoiler is an additional option that completes the ready-for-racing look while contributing to improved high-speed aerodynamics. Four exterior colors are offered: Black Magic, Candy While, Salsa Red or brilliant Laser Blue (shown in photos).

Interior Styling

Inside, the Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition boasts the same comfortable and supportive sport bucket seats found in the Jetta GLI, covered with iconic Interlagos plaid cloth upholstery. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has a Piano Black lower clip and paddle shifters when equipped with the DSG transmission. Like the GLI, foot pedals have a light-alloy appearance. Door sill plates are identified with the TDI logo.

Optional equipment available on the TDI Cup Edition includes a power sunroof, navigation system and iPod integration for the audio system.

Pricing

Volkswagens are designed to offer advanced German engineering at an affordable price, and this special edition Jetta reinforces that philosophy, with pricing that starts around $25,000. Because it's a clean-burning diesel, the Jetta TDI Cup Edition qualifies for an Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Vehicle Federal Income Tax Credit of $1,300. The savings will continue on the road, as the Jetta TDI boasts EPA fuel economy figures of 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway (DSG).
