Volkswagen has always been one of David Hoffman’s favorite manufactures, but it was the unique color and interior which drew him into this particular 2010 VW GTI. Pushing 250 whp, thanks in part to the refined engine and Unitronic Stage 2 tune, Hoffman says he’s planning on a shaved engine bay and right-hand drive conversion before his build is ultimately complete.
