A power to weight ratio of 2.83 kilograms per hp, incredible 3.4 seconds from zero to 100 and a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour: This is the new OETTINGER 500R.
“This is not a car for the showroom,” reportedly from the development department of the Oettinger OETTINGER 500R. “This vehicle is designed for performance and have to go hard as a board around the bend.” The infernal roar of the five-cylinder engine is likely to be hard to miss on the Wörthersee.
The OETTINGER 500R is offered as a limited edition. A price is not yet known, it is likely to start at the entry level but at around 150,000 euros. Additional output levels of 600, 650 and 750 hp will follow shortly.
Technology and design meet the OETTINGER 500R on motorsport character. Unbelievable is the list of technical highlights, confident the presence of equipped with the newly developed OETTINGER 500R Racing Design Package super sports car. The based on the current Golf R 7 vehicle has grown in width by 100 millimeters.
Unbelievable is also the development time of the OETTINGER 500R. A mere three and a half months between the first model and the premiere at Wörthersee. The OETTINGER designer Rolf Schepp has the OETTINGER 500R Racing Design Package designed and implemented with four modellers into action. The scale 1: 4 was pre-tested in the wind tunnel.
Under the hood of the OETTINGER 500R the accumulated know-how puts the Friedrichsdorfer tradition tuner. There an extensively modified 2.5 liter TFSI five-cylinder in-line engine with a modified turbocharger and map adaptation works at the engine control unit. In addition, the engineers have missed the engines, among other high-performance forged pistons and edited the draft tube. The intake air comes from the joint venture partner VWR. The water-cooling circuit was changed beyond. In addition, the engineers have made the water intercooling. Revision was ultimately the exhaust tract. The OETTINGER 500R has a downpipe with sports catalysts and a double-flow cat-running racing exhaust system. In order to go on the racetrack on time hunting can, gear, differential lock and clutch have been adapted.
The full engine power of 381 kW (518 hp) is on at 6100 U / min. The maximum torque amounts to 680 Nm at 3600 r / min. Equipped with six-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive super sports marched in less than four seconds from zero to 100 km only beyond 300 km / h mark is reached the terminal velocity.
Another technical highlight is OETTINGER on the axles and brakes. On OETTINGER 500R there is no trace widening. Instead, the Friedrichsdorfer put on an aluminum front axle with a track width of 1 607 mm (Golf R, series: 1549 mm). Another highlight which also made of aluminum rear track handlebar with a track width of 1 578 mm (Golf R, series: 1520) should be mentioned. Six-piston high-performance brake calipers and two-piece, perforated and internally ventilated brake discs high performance (380 x 34 mm) with sports brake pads and steel flex brake pipes ensure excellent braking performance. The wheelbase amounts to 2646 mm (Golf R, series: 2637 mm).
With regard to suspension the Friedrichsdorfer trust in a 3-way Clubsport suspension with racing valve technology from KW. Am Worthersee the OETTINGER 500R perched on ATS Forged Wheels in dimension 10 x 20 inches, wrapped in Dunlop Sport Maxx 275/25 R20 in. For use at trackdays OETTINGER relies on ATS racing rims Type GTR in 10 x 18 inch with 285/30 R18 Dunlop Direzza in.

On the hood, the developers have provided a vent for the engine compartment. On the powerful front fenders, the wheel arch ventilation that catches your eye. Genuine carbon-Flaps find itself as eye-catchers on the side skirts again. The rear wheel arch has designed the Friedrichsdorfer Tuner for two- and Viertürern.
