Volkswagen Teams up with Beats Audio for New Polo Beats

Fancy sound systems have long been associated with Volkswagen. Just last week they revealed the Golf GTI Heartbeat, a one-off concept with a serious sound system at Wörthersee, and before that there was the Beetle Fender Edition.

Now, the Polo Beats is ready to be ordered in European showrooms. Built in conjunction with Dr. Dre’s BeatsAudioTM, the little hatch is going to make big sound. That’s thanks to a seven-speaker system with a 300 watt, eight-channel amp.

The system runs through two tweeters in the A-pillars, two woofers in the front doors, two broadband speakers in the rear doors, and a subwoofer in the spare wheel compartment.

Volkswagen promises that buyers won’t just be able to hear their music, they’ll be able to feel it, too.

Outside, the Polo Beats will be identifiable thanks to its 16-inch syenite allow wheels, offered in white or black. Colored mirrors, too, will tell this car apart from a normal Polo, as well as decorative side trim, and a glossy black grille.

Inside, the Polo Beats gets sports seats and door panels trimmed with the Beats design. Colored seat belts will keep owners safe and leather steering wheel finishes off the look.

Volkswagen are so pleased with the idea that an Up! Beats will also be offered this summer.

The Polo Beats is ready to be ordered today, with prices starting at €15,975 (£13,910).

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
