New EU6 Engine Generation Now Available in the Golf Cabriolet

  • Fuel consumption up to 15 per cent lower
  • New radio and navigation systems are also available for the Cabriolet

A new engine generation is now providing more driving fun in the Golf Cabriolet. At the same time, fuel consumption figures for the four TSI and two TDI engines have been lowered by up to 15 per cent.

The new TSI engines in the Golf Cabriolet now deliver 77 kW / 105 PS, 92 kW / 125 PS, 110 kW / 150 PS and in the case of the GTI Cabriolet 162 kW / 220 PS. Diesel engines are available with 81 kW / 110 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS. Enhanced driving fun without regrets is on offer in the Golf GTI Cabriolet, for example: the 220 PS Cabriolet accelerates from 0 –100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds, (predecessor 210 PS and 7.3 seconds). At the same time, fuel consumption (NEDC) falls by more than 15 per cent to only 6.5 l/100 km.

The diesel engines of the new generation are even stronger and more efficient than their predecessors. In the 2.0 TDI with 150 PS, for instance, this means: 10 PS more power, a torque increased by 20 to 340 Nm, an improvement in acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of seven tenths of a second (9.2 seconds) and all of this while consuming half a litre less fuel (4.6 l/100 km). Furthermore, all engines conform to the EU6 emissions standard.

Also new on board are members of the latest generation of radio and navigation systems, namely the radios “Composition Colour” and “Composition Media” (including large multi-coloured touchscreens and eight loudspeakers). As an add-on feature, the navigation function “Discover Media” is available, which permits functions such as telephoning via Bluetooth. In addition, all updates for the navigation software for the first three years are included.

1.2 TSI 77 kW / 105 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 5.2 – 5.1 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 119 – 117 (combined); efficiency class: B

1.4 TSI 92 kW / 125 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 5.5 – 5.3 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 127 – 121 (combined); efficiency class: B

1.4 TSI 110 kW / 150 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 5.5 – 5.2 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 128 – 120 (combined); efficiency class: B-A

2.0 TSI 162 kW / 220 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.5 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 152 (combined); efficiency class: C

2.0 TDI 81 kW / 110 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 4.3 – 4.2 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 111 – 109 (combined); efficiency class: A

2.0 TDI 110 kW / 150 PS fuel consumption in l/100 km: 4.7 – 4.2 (combined);
CO2 emissions in g/km: 125 – 110 (combined); efficiency class: A

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.

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

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
