(from Volkswagen
Press Release) Powerful performance meets luxury in the Super CC
performance concept Volkswagen unveiled at the 2008 SEMA show in Las
Vegas.
The Performance CC
brings a sleek exterior treatment highlighted by black chrome
exterior accents, grey pearl paint with custom front and rear
bumper, side panels and machined aluminum spoiler. The black
treatment continues inside with high-gloss piano black accents
offset by matte black graphics. Customer black leather Recaro seats
and matching floor mats are highlighted with white piping.
While the Performance CC
looks striking, the upgrades will get hearts racing, the 2.0L TSI
engine has been upgraded with an APR stage 3 turbocharger system
with three performance levels. In Full Power mode the Performance CC
brings 311 hp and 313 lbs. ft. torque; GT mode offers 252 hp and 268
lbs. ft. of torque; and in the Eco mode 222 hp and 236 lbs. ft. of
torque. Also included is the APR stainless steel performance exhaust
system. Key fact to take note of is that in the Eco performance
mode, horsepower went up, as well as fuel economy. A production 2.0T
CC automatic gets 28 hwy/19 city and our CC in Eco mode gets 33 hwy,
27 city. Even the full power mode showed a fuel economy increase!
The Performance CC sits
on custom designed 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels and high performance
245/30 R20 Yokahama tires with an H&R street coil over sport
suspension kit. With all this power to handle, Volkswagen has
upgraded the brakes to provide extra power to stop. The Performance
CC features 14-inch Brembo brakes with 4-piston Aluminum Alloy Brake
Calipers and 355x32mm 2-Piece Floating Cross Drilled Discs with
Billet Aluminum Hats.
The Performance CC was
designed by the Volkswagen Design Center in California with
assistance from APR, LLC (www.goapr.com),
Recaro, H&R Suspension and Brembo North America.
