WRC: Volkswagen Motorsport Has Packed Schedule at Home Event

Wolfsburg. The Volkswagen team is making the most of its home event in the FIA World Rally Championship from 20 to 23 August. Sports stars and rock stars will be there, a new information system is making its debut and the Facebook presence of the automobile manufacturer is on the verge of a major milestone: News from the Volkswagen team.

Fast-paced football followed by a fast-paced feeling: Bundesliga team VfL Wolfsburg takes a trip to Trier

VfL Wolfsburg will visit Volkswagen at the Rally Germany on Saturday and Sunday. Last season’s cup winners have announced that head coach Dieter Hecking, director Klaus Allofs, defender Christian Träsch and midfielder Maximilian Arnold will be in attendance. Hecking, Allofs, Träsch and Arnold will head to Trier directly after their away match against 1. FC Köln, where they will watch the rally cars in service and then head to the special stages in the vineyards the following morning.

Rock’n’Roll: Revolverheld to storm the Volkswagen stage in Baumholder

Ready to rock Panzerplatte: The band Revolverheld will be giving it their all on the Volkswagen stage in Baumholder on Saturday. Despite the break between special stages 13 (“Panzerplatte Lang”) and 14 (“Grafschaft”), hits such as “Das kann uns keiner nehmen” will really turn up the volume. Before that, the band members will gain an insight into Volkswagen’s involvement in the WRC – during the Flexi Service in Trier.

Debut – the Volkswagen dashboard provides comprehensive rally information

The live experience is only greater out on the special stages: A new information system makes its debut at Volkswagen during the Rally Germany. The “Rally Dashboard” uses timing information, posts on social media and other sources to aggregate an overview of the action that is always up-to-date – live and directly. Initially, three of these terminals will be available to guests in the Volkswagen hospitality areas at the Rally Germany; the screens will be dotted around various other parts of the service park in the future.

5 … 4 … 3… 2 … 1 – Volkswagen’s motorsport presence on verge of milestone on Facebook

Volkswagen may be celebrating the next milestone in social media networks at their home rally. The Facebook presence of the motorsport department, http://ift.tt/1PqcBo1, is just 5,000 Likes away from reaching the 5 million mark. Before competing in the World Rally Championship, Volkswagen Motorsport started with 50,000 Likes, which means it has increased its fan community almost a hundredfold. Through this channel alone, Volkswagen reaches around ten million fans each month.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
