SEMA Spotlight: Allroad Outfitters e-Golf

With last year’s widebody S4 SEMA build, Southern California-based Allroad Outfitters set the bar quite high for outside-the-box display vehicles.  For this year, they’ve doubled down on Audi with a new widebody S3 and SQ5 on Volk Racing TE37s to sit alongside their S4.  But it’s not their Audis we’re concerned about here, it’s their e-Golf.

Fitted with Air Lift’s new 3H suspension and Advan Racing RGIII wheels wrapped in Toyo tires, the e-Golf certainly turned quite a few heads as it sat just outside SEMA’s Central Hall entrance.  For good measure, the car has also been fitted with a 325mm big brake kit from Brembo.

Aside from that, the Urano Grey e-Golf is relatively untouched.  You see, anytime a tuner dives head-first into a vehicle which has otherwise seen little to no love in the aftermarket, nearly every new part installed is a trial and error process.  Moving forward, Allroad Outfitters plans on further modifying the car, with both performance and range in mind.  While they were quite tight lipped about how this will be achieved, we know it’ll be an interesting project to keep an eye on.

For those heading to the LA Auto Show next week, the car will be on display so be sure to swing by.  For those not able to attend, check out additional shots of the car below, and see our entire SEMA gallery 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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
