SEMA Spotlight: Legacy Innovations Widebody Corrado

The widebody look was definitely a thing this year at SEMA, but very few were able to pull it off as well as Legacy Innovations’ Corrado.  Starting with the already aggressive factory fender treatment, Legacy added an additional 2″ to each side via custom-made metal flares, allowing the Corrado to have an incredibly aggressive stance, without excessive tire stretch.  And in keeping with the function over form ethos, the car features height-adjustable shocks from JRI.

Moving past the exterior modifications, this Corrado was built with an attention to detail rarely seen on this side of the pond.  Leather and alcantara covered nearly every interior surface, including custom trimmed Recaro Sportster CS seats.  Complimenting the custom tailoring, was machined aluminum accents used tastefully throughout the interior.

While not a perfect build, we do think that this Corrado is certainly a step in the right direction for US-based builds.  We’re hoping this level of detail inspires many going into the long winter.

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.
