RacingLine – OEM+ Performance for Volkswagen Group Enthusiasts
RacingLine is a UK-based performance engineering company with a unique origin: it was founded as the official motorsport division of Volkswagen Group UK. Originally tasked with developing and running race cars for VW’s touring car programs, RacingLine has since evolved into one of the most respected names in the aftermarket tuning world—while retaining its close ties to Audi, VW, Skoda, and SEAT platforms.
This racing heritage directly influences every product they produce, combining OEM-grade quality with motorsport-proven functionality. At ATOMIC-SHOP, we proudly offer the full range of RacingLine upgrades—from intake systems and suspension kits to braking systems, oil management, drivetrain mounts, and performance accessories. Whether you're driving a daily Golf GTI, an RS3 track build, or a tuned Skoda Octavia, RacingLine parts are designed to integrate seamlessly with your platform for unmatched reliability and response.
The OEM+ Philosophy – Factory Feel, Enhanced Performance
What sets RacingLine apart is its strict adherence to the OEM+ tuning philosophy. Their goal isn’t radical modification—it’s refinement. Every product is engineered to enhance a specific vehicle system while preserving (and often improving) the comfort, drivability, and reliability of your car. That means no warning lights, no compatibility issues, and no compromise in quality.
This makes RacingLine a preferred brand not only for hardcore enthusiasts, but also for daily drivers who want the benefits of tuning without sacrificing factory fitment and function. Their parts are developed using CAD modeling, flow simulation, and dyno testing—all with OEM integration in mind.
Performance Air Intakes – Breathing Power
RacingLine’s R600 Cold Air Intake is one of the most popular performance upgrades for MQB-platform vehicles. With a large-capacity airbox, dual intake paths, and a high-flow Trifoam or cotton filter element, it dramatically improves airflow and throttle response without triggering MAF sensor errors.
- Designed for MQB and MQB Evo platforms (Golf R, GTI, S3, Cupra)
- Factory fitment with upgraded performance
- Options for carbon fiber or black textured finish
For drivers seeking subtle gains and daily comfort, RacingLine also offers drop-in OEM replacement panel filters with improved filtration and reusability. Intake hoses, turbo muffler deletes, and turbo inlet elbows are also available for further optimization.
Brake Systems – Stopping Confidence
Designed for fast road and occasional track use, RacingLine’s brake upgrades deliver serious improvements over stock without compromising safety or comfort. Their Monoblock Big Brake Kits feature:
- Four-piston calipers made from forged aluminum
- Fully-floating 345–380mm rotors for heat resistance
- Street/track-friendly pad compounds and braided lines
For OEM caliper users, RacingLine also offers 2-piece performance discs, uprated pads, and brake fluid kits—all engineered for plug-and-play installation and optimal thermal stability.
Suspension & Chassis – Control Meets Comfort
RacingLine’s suspension solutions are developed with a focus on real-world drivability. Their offerings include:
- Sport Springs: Progressive-rate springs that lower ride height and sharpen response
- Coilover Kits: Height-adjustable systems with refined damping profiles for daily/track use
- Strut Braces & Power Braces: Enhance chassis rigidity and steering precision
Unlike harsh track-oriented setups, RacingLine’s suspension parts retain ride comfort and eliminate unwanted body roll and nose dive—ideal for performance driving without compromise.
Drivetrain & Mounts – Reducing Movement, Increasing Response
Drivetrain slop and excessive engine movement can rob your car of responsiveness. RacingLine solves this with a range of billet engine, transmission, and dogbone mounts, which reduce drivetrain flex without increasing NVH to uncomfortable levels. These include:
- Torque mounts with high-durometer bushings
- Insert-only solutions for daily-friendly upgrades
- Full billet replacements for high-output cars
Oil Management Systems – Track-Ready Reliability
Oil starvation and blow-by are serious issues in high-G driving. RacingLine addresses this with:
- Oil Catch Can Kits: Prevent carbon buildup and oil vapor recirculation
- Oil Cooler Kits: Maintain optimal temperatures during hard use
- Baffled Oil Pans: Reduce oil surge in aggressive cornering
All components are built to work with stock sensors and fittings, making them ideal for tuned cars that see regular track days or spirited driving.
Engine Dress-Up & Accessories
Performance isn’t just about numbers—it’s about presentation. RacingLine’s signature billet caps, dipsticks, oil fillers, and gear knobs add a touch of refinement under the hood and in the cabin. Crafted from anodized aluminum with engraved branding, these parts enhance visual appeal while maintaining function and durability.
Software & DTE Modules
While RacingLine focuses primarily on hardware, they also offer plug-and-play DTE tuning modules for throttle response, pedal mapping, and mild power boosts—perfect for drivers not yet ready for full ECU remaps. These modules are removable, safe for warranty, and fully reversible.
