B&B VW Eos


B&B {link} have created a highly impressive and exceptionally powerful version of the Volkswagen Eos to complete their range of tuning options for VW’s ever popular cabriolet.
By turbo-charging the 3.2 litre V6 Eos B&B have been able to extract a staggering 500PS and 650Nm of torque giving a claimed 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed (according to B&B) of 190mph, making this particular Eos exceptionally fast indeed! Naturally B&B haven’t just bolted a turbo on to the V6 and hoped for the best, the engine tuning is careful, considered and to the highest specification and includes items such a forged pistons, fuel pump, inlet manifold, exhaust system, engine management, hoses, etc.
To compliment the extensive engine modifications B&B’s 3.2 turbo Eos come with the choice of 6 pot brake callipers, braided flexible hoses and adjustable coilover suspension. These upgrades help keep the Eos as driver friendly as possible whilst allowing the sheer power of the engine to be transmitted safely to the tarmac.
In conjunction with the extreme engine package the B&B VW Eos comes with a more subtle styling kit including side skirts, front and rear spoilers and a rear valance. There are also a range of wheels available in 8x18”, 8½x18” and 8½x19”.
All of the brake, suspension, styling and wheels options are available to fit any VW Eos and B&B offer a complete range of (more mundane) engine tuning kits for all Eos models. Their 3.2 V6 turbo just happens to be the ultimate performance Eos currently available!
