The company removed the factory turbocharged 1.8 L inline-four and five-speed manual transmission. In their place HPA Motorsports swapped a turbocharged VR6 and six-speed manual transmission. The VR6 produces 455 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque thanks to HPA Motorsports&#8217; FT450 turbo kit using a BorgWarner EFR7670 turbocharger. The car still retains the 4Motion AWD drivetrain. HPA Motorsports also installed a set of KW V3 coilovers and their upgraded front and rear brakes. Listen to the President of HPA Motorsports Marcel Horn discuss the car before test driving it. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
