Volkswagen at the 2015 Frankfurt IAA

This year’s Frankfurt Motor Show is an incredibly busy one for the Volkswagen Group, with major introductions and concept cars coming from nearly every brand in their expansive portfolio.  But seeing as this website is primarily devoted to the Volkswagen brand itself, we spent the majority of our time on the ground in and around the German automaker’s booth.  While our days were quite hectic between press conferences, meetings, interviews and the like, we did have a bit of time to shoot the show itself.

The single most significant new model shown by Volkswagen was clearly their second-generation Tiguan, shown in short-wheelbase form, and wearing multiple trim levels.  As Jamie has already gone over this model in depth, we’ll skip the specifics and let him do the talking.

Next up is the GTI Clubsport, a car which, admittedly, we’ll likely never get the pleasure of having on our shores.  The model gets a power bump, Recaro shell seats, a black roof, revised aero, and a host of other special touches.  As a package, it’s quite a fitting celebration of the Golf’s 40th birthday.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
