MKIII - R
Introducing the New Superformance MKIII - R
This is what you get when you take an Old-School Classic and infuse a bit of modern day flair. The MKIII-R retains much of its original shape and wheelbase but gets it’s bold and aggressive look with the addition of integrated “Scalloped” Fenders and Hood. Black Mesh Side and Fender Vents also add aero to the overall grittier appearance. To ensure a complete, aesthetic, and functional package, the MKIII-R also comes with a beefy rear diffuser and body-contour matching Front Splitter.
In the Interior, we have added custom French stitched seats with body color accented thread. The Transmission tunnel is also adorned with leather as well. On the Dash, it is equipped with the new Superformance Electronic Gauges. The MKIII-R can be optionally equipted with: Power Steering, LED Headlights, 18″ Wheels, and is available in almost any color imaginable and can be ordered with other Interior choices as well.
