Find of the Day: Supercharged Syncro Sedan

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

If you’re in the market for something different, have we got the car for you. Looking for a rare model to take to your next neighborhood Cars and Coffee? Then this 1992 Passat G60 Syncro may be right up your alley.

The third generation Passat was the most modern car Volkswagen had ever produced, and the designers graced it with almost futuristic styling. The front clip has a wedge shape, the body sides have a deep character line that runs around almost the entire car, and the glass is flush to the window surrounds. One of the most controversial styling elements is the grille-less front panel, it adds a ton of character to the design.

In the United States, Passats came standard with a 2.0L 16 valve engine or VW’s new VR6 engine. Both engines drove the front wheels. But Canadian buyers had an interesting option: the 1.8L G60 supercharged engine connected to VW’s Syncro all-wheel-drive system. And this particular super Syncro also comes with a manual transmission. Enthusiasts rejoice!

While it’s not perfect, for the age and mileage this Passat is in decent shape. The silver paint is shiny, but it looks like there may be some rust in the typical places. The Corrado steelies are a nice touch and compliment the body lines well. The owner upgraded the lights to Euro models; the front grille fitment may need some realignment.

Inside, this uncommon car is even more uncommon: it sports a blue interior with gray leather seats and door cards. Quite different. With 106,000 miles, the interior is not showroom new, but it is in fine condition. All trim and bits are in place: the seller notes the black headliner is not original, however. The Passat has new belts, brakes, and brake lines and it even comes with a Thule roof rack (not pictured).

This Syncro sedan was legally imported in July and has a clear Pennsylvania title. VWVortex member mav90g60 is asking $5500, and additional parts like an upgraded supercharger, are available with the car. You can see the car in-person in northeast PA. Check out our classifieds to see more information on this unique ride.

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.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c
