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.

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.
