AWE Tuning Moves Into New World Headquarters

AWE Tuning has announced another milestone in their growth.

Today the performance parts manufacturer moved into their new headquarters, located at 199 Precision Drive, Horsham, PA 19044. The new headquarters, roughly 3x’s larger than the previous one, will house AWE Tuning’s entire team in a brand new bespoke state-of-the-art facility.

The new facility was created to accommodate AWE Tuning’s growth, which recently increased with their noted launch into manufacturing the AWE Tuning BMW performance line.

About the new facility

The new facility is a bespoke build out on four acres in Horsham, Pennsylvania, starting from a blank slate “big box.” The building was acquired in January 2015 and has been undergoing a gut and renovation since the acquisition.

  • The manufacturing floor has been expanded by 10 times from the previous location, including new and existing fabrication equipment.
  • The R&D department has also been expanded by 10 times, including “fast access cut throughs” between development vehicles and work stations.
  • R&D incorporates a five lift prototyping and development department.
  • The office area is a large, open floor layout, housing marketing, engineering, sales and administrative.

Additional areas of the space include:

  • A new central in-ground dyno cell, including the AWE Tuning AWD Mustang Dynamometer.
  • A multi-car visitor waiting area, featuring visibility into the dyno cell, manufacturing and R&D departments.
  • A three dock shipping department and second office area.
  • A central “cafe” area to facilitate additional communication between all teams.
  • A multi-media lounge.
  • Large multi-media conference room.

“AWE Tuning started in a single bay in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Today, almost 25 years later, the company is one of the most trusted names in performance aftermarket manufacturing. The global growth of the brand required more space for manufacturing, research and development, and office staff,” stated Jesse Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for AWE Tuning.

“Furthermore, our team deserves it. More space, more collaboration, more innovation – it’s all evident the second you walk into our new space, appropriately located on Precision Drive.”

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...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
