Volkswagen Virtus GT | Living the Petrolhead Dream + MODIFICATIONS!! | Review | PowerDrift

The new Volkswagen Virtus GT has all the makings to be a good petrolhead car! A powerful turbocharged stock engine, a fast gearbox, and most importantly, good looks. As a successor to the Vento, it needs to tick some big boxes. Especially the ones that the VW enthusiasts are looking at keenly. So, is the Virtus GT a petrolhead dream and will it attract the kind of modifications the Polo GT did? Cyrus Dhabhar finds out in this review.

Amazing video mate! Why don’t you consider doing a project Virtus? I personally think Virtus is the only entry level petrolhead car in india and it will surely attract many new buyers. If not a Project, at least make a dedicated video about the performance mods you suggest Thanks in advance 🙌🏻 LFG!!!

Strange you say this considering how many lakhs of cars are successfully running a tune with no issue.

[@vish91]

@@CyrusDhabhar VW sold 2.5L polos in India so far only a fraction of those are GT TSI, Same goes for the Ventos and Rapids. The Taigun and Kushaq GTs have no stable tunes at this time. Of all the owners of GT a very very small number go for tunes on the ECU, TCU. Even fewer swap parts. So I would disagree with you here sorry

[@vish91]

@@CyrusDhabhar +Also besides the sarcasm, if you really wanted to go down this tuning route, I would do it on the 1.0L, it has potential for huge and safe power. Costs a lot less, giving you the budget to tinker too.

Unwritten rule of modding. Start with the brakes before fitting bigger turbo and intercooler. Secondly, the DQ200 can take maximum 250nm of torque. Forget reliability on an already unreliable gearbox.

These are such childish mods, on one hand he is complaining about the car being less stiff, and doing only suspension upgrade, and wheel change. Rather doing big turbos, air intakes, carbon fiber bonet, exhaust, first things to be done are engine bay bracing, anti roll bars. Even if someone does makes car faster, the first thing to done is upgrading brakes. I didn't expect this type of video from Powerdrift.

[@sreejinair]

@@CyrusDhabhar Disagree with the road conditions? I have 2 bulging discs in the lumbar area, every time I drive cars with stiff suspensions it hurts like hell and is bearable with softer suspension setup, does it compromise driving dynamics, it sure does. There should be a balance or at least adaptive dampers, at least the Kodiaq has it. My preference will be good roads over softer suspension, but dont see that happening anytime soon, at least not in smaller cities/villages.

[@DhigvijayRajendran]

@@sreejinair Seems like YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEM and people don't buy roads..they buy cars. THIS IS A CAR REVIEW CHANNEL ,NOT A ROAD REVIEW CHANNEL. Go buy kodiaq or something with air suspension if you want to. Stop randomly ranting at video comments section.
