topic tuning in the change of time

Originally, tuning was a hobby that captivated many car lovers in the 70s and 80s. The popular models in this era included the VW Beetle and the Opel Manta, which many viewed as a perfect basis for individual conversions. Today the tuning scene has developed further: the modern technical standards range from body conversions and lowering to computer-controlled motor chip tuning and special exhaust systems. Popular current models are, for example, the VW Golf GTI and the Opel Corsa opc.

The Technik Museum Sinsheim sets an important accent in the representation of the tuning phenomenon, which is to be regarded as a cultural movement. With the interaction of traditional screwdriver hobby and the modern, professionalized tuning scene, the event becomes a real attraction for both old rabbits and for new fans.
