- The best cars for tuning
Car owners around the world are divided into two categories - those who are completely satisfied with the standard appearance and level of equipment of the car, and those who strive by hook or by crook to make their "iron horse" better.
It is thanks to the second in the world that such a direction as "auto-tuning" appeared and began to gain momentum, which for some turned into a hobby, and for others - into a professional activity.
Absolutely any car can be tuned, but there are models that are especially loved among the revision specialists. We became interested in what kind of cars they are, so we decided to make a TOP-8 rating of the most popular tuning cars, which we are in a hurry to share with you!
The best cars for tuning
VW Golf
Volkswagen Golf is one of the most significant models in the history of the company, which throughout its existence is considered the trendsetter in the "golf class".
The history of the car dates back to 1974 and, rest assured, will last for many years to come. Over its more than 40-year history, the model has sold millions of copies around the world, so it is not surprising that their owners wanted to stand out.
The fact that the model had a relatively low cost, a high level of practicality and a somewhat boring design also played into the hands of VW Golf.
That is why car owners considered it their due to make the car more stylish, original and attractive.
Also, the manufacturer added fuel to the fire by releasing a special "heated" version of the Golf GTI, and then also the Golf R, which seemed to be specially created to please tuning lovers.
Today, the 7th generation Volkswagen Golf is on the market, which continues to challenge the world's best tuning studio.
Dodge challenger
This car was presented to the world public in the 70s of the last century as a response to the actions of Ford, which rolled out a muscle car with the name Mustang on the market.
The first generation Dodge Challenger lasted only 4 years on the assembly line, but this was enough for the model to sink into the souls of fans of truly powerful and uncompromising cars.
In 1978, the company introduced the second generation of the model, which lost its power and aggression, turning into a boring vehicle for weekend walks.
The revival of the Dodge Challenger took place in 2008, when the company introduced its third generation.
The novelty received a formidable appearance and high-performance filling, which pushed tuning lovers to action. And the truth is - the car lends itself well not only to visual, but also to technical tuning. A striking example of this is the SRT Hellcat model, equipped with a 6.2-liter 707-horsepower engine.
Audi TT
The Audi TT is one of the most charismatic and stylish cars the company has ever produced. To realize this, just look at the first generation TT-shku, which debuted on the world stage in 1998. Even by today's standards, the car looks quite stylish and modern.
The car owes its popularity among tuning enthusiasts to its memorable appearance, excellent behavior on the road and a relatively low price, compared to sports cars.
The third generation of the Audi TT is on the market today, which, thanks to the efforts of a whole staff of first-class designers, has received an extremely bright and dynamic exterior. That is why the tuning studio switched to improving the technical component, after which the car may well compete with the best sports cars in the world.
Fiat 500
Having familiarized ourselves with the number of tuned Fiat 500s, we were frankly surprised, because it is completely unclear what the tuning specialists liked about this car.
Perhaps this is a tribute to history, the great popularity of the model in Europe, or the desire to turn the "shaggy" insect into something more formidable and masculine.
Be that as it may, it is worth paying tribute to the representatives of the tuning studio, who literally flooded the market with all sorts of elements of external design: modernized bumpers, optics, sports "skirts" and spoilers.
However, the manufacturer also did not stand aside, presenting a special "heated" version of "Abarth", which received a formidable appearance and productive filling, which turned the car into a real torpedo.
BMW 1-series
It should be noted right away that there is not a single car in the company's model range that is not suitable for tuning. However, most often tuning masters focus on the model of the first series, which is most likely due to its relatively low cost.
The range of technical details and exterior decorations not only competes with the similar range for the VW Golf, but also surpasses it.
True, the latest generation of the BMW 1-series, which debuted in November 2016, instead of the proprietary rear-wheel drive received a front-axle drive, which somewhat frightened off the tuning studio, which is in the greatest demand for the very first generation of the "one", especially in the sports body. coupe.
Nissan gt-r
In 2007, the model range of the Japanese company Nissan was replenished with the GT-R sports coupe, which managed to become a real legend not only among tuning lovers, but also fans of really fast driving.
Let's pay tribute to the manufacturer, who, already in the basic version of the model, offered a bright and stylish design, and high-tech stuffing, capable of challenging supercars, the cost of which is several times higher than that of a "Japanese".
In 2013, Nissan executives made a real treat for fans of the model by unveiling an even more charged version of the GT-R Nismo sports coupe.
This car received a sports body kit, a powerful rear diffuser and a 600-horsepower engine, which some tuning studios were able to pump up to more than 100 "horses".
It is also worth mentioning that most fans of the model are limited to refining the filling, while the exterior remains practically unchanged.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
Another "Japanese" who is so loved by tuning studios around the world. However, this is not surprising, because the car played a significant role in the formation and development of the brand.
Add to this successful performances in rallies and the presence of a "charged" modification of the Lancer Evolution, which already in the stock version is able to compete with legendary supercars, and you will get a 100% recipe for success.
If you look at the number of tuned Mitsubishi Lancer today, it turns out that the first generations of "charged" Evolutions are in greatest demand, due to the purchase price, reliability and ease of modification.
Subaru Impreza WRX
The Japanese brand Subaru concludes our selection with its charged model Impreza WRX, which gained popularity after the successful performance of Colin McRae in the world rally series. It was thanks to him that the brand became world famous and received the Constructors' Cup for three years in a row - from 1995 to 1997.
Already in stock equipment, the Impreza WRX is capable of giving odds to many sports cars, but this is usually not enough tuning studios that turn the car into a real "killer" of supercars.
Conclusion
There are still a large number of cars in the world that are popular among tuning enthusiasts. Therefore, if you have something to add - you are welcome in the comments, as the topic is really interesting and multifaceted.
