A special edition Jetta inspired by the TDI Cup race cars will be arriving at Volkswagen's showrooms across the U.S. in the beginning of 2010, the German automaker announced. The Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition gets the front bumper, side skirts and rear valance that are found on the TDI Cup race cars along with larger brakes with red calipers, 18 inch alloy wheels with performance all-season tires, sway bars and a sportier tuned suspension.However, what the replica doesn't get is the TDI Cup race car's more powerful 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine which is rated at 170 horsepower and nearly 300 ft-lbs of torque as it keeps the 2.0L turbo diesel of the standard car that delivers 140HP and 236 ft-lbs of torque.
The engine be mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or VW's DSG dual clutch semi-automatic transmission.
Other upgrades over the standard Jetta include sports seats wrapped in Interlagos cloth and a multi-function leather steering wheel that's fitted with paddle shifters when combined with the DSG transmission.
Volkswagen said that the Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition will start at around $25,000.

So, my Skoda Octavia vRS (2.0L TDI 170BHP) is cheaper (maybe) and more powefull than this? I get it, it's the same car under a different name.
Looks like a mix between my two last cars (Golf 1.6 and Skoda Octavia RS)
If the engine would had been the 170hp TDI or higher it would have kept me interested...
it's beautiful sport sedan.
don't forget guys/gals, you're only a proper chip and exhaust away from 170+ bhp and 300+ lb/ft. from reputable tuning companies, no less.
