Worthersee 2015: Day 8 Gallery Now Live

[photos: Si Gray]

Si Gray’s time in Austria has come to an end, but before packing up and leaving town, he’s sent over one last round of event photos.  After making stops at all of the normal gathering spots, Si reports that traffic within the towns of Faak and Reifnitz has died down a bit, signaling that perhaps word has gotten out about the pre-event festivities.

Even still, Si was able to send over images of some of the more remarkable vehicles that we’ve seen so far this year.  Case in point would be this Mk7 GTI, which appears to be completely covered in Carbon Fiber, along with the seemingly ubiquitous air suspension and reverse-mounted three piece wheels.

Because attending just one Wörthersee branded event is never enough, Mr. Gray is currently on a flight destined for Philadelphia where he will have one day of rest before joining the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to Georgia for SoWo.  We’re looking forward to catching up with a very tired Si in just a few day’s time.

Although Si may not be in town (or Europe, for that matter) anymore, our coverage of the event is not finished.  Jamie Vondruska will be hopping a plane shortly destined for Germany, where he will grab the keys to something undoubtedly cool and drive to Austria for the main event.  As time allows, he will be forwarding his shots from the event which we will get up as soon as possible.

Check out our full Wörthersee 2015 coverage here.  Due to popular demand, we’re also breaking out all galleries by day, which can be found here.

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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
