The new Volkswagen Golf R for the European market saw its power increase to 300 horsepower for 2014.

But for many it is still not enough and that's why many tuners will enter the scene to offer performance packages that will increase both power and efficiency.

For example, the German firm ABT international is bringing a Volkswagen Golf R to the Geneva Motor Show that will knock the socks off your standard VW-tuned version.

The 2.0-litre turbo engine gets an additional 70 horsepower while torque increases to 339 lb-ft.

The ABT Golf R takes only 4.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h, while its top speed is 265km/h.
