Formula 3 VW

With the VW project, a bold Spiess Tuning idea was turned into a Formula 3 engine that had what it took to succeed over many years: is it possible to turn a production 1.6-litre engine into a winning 2-litre Formula 3 power unit? The enormously extensive test bench works in particular contributed to the success of this project. Spiess took this chance as there was no adequate VW or Audi 2-litre engine available. The regulations stipulated a 24mm air restrictor. The peculiarity of the VW engine tuned by Spiess for Formula 3 was its long stroke of 94.5 millimetres. This long stroke turned out to be the crucial success criterion as the engine curtailed by the air restrictor didn't allow for high revs.

Design of completely new engines or the enhancement of existing power units –inventive spirit, courage, extensive team work and our huge wealth of represent the basis for innovative results.

Precision components or the refinement of existing components, single copy or small-batch series, solid material or cast material – a diversified service range thanks to an ambitious mix of know-how and new developments.

Out there on the racetrack, the smallest mistake can be crucial. Therefore, special emphasis is placed to a gapless and absolutely precise quality control. No part will be installed without having been subjected to an extremely strict examination.

The engines are individual custom products and are assembled in the heart of the company by a highly qualified team. Here, quality instead of quantity represents the yardstick.

Here, the process represented by development and design, production and manufacturing comes full circle. On the test rigs, the components or the entire project have to definitively demonstrate if they meet the highest standards.
