SEMA Spotlight: M2 Motoring’s Widebody Mk5 GTI

SEMA’s North Hall is a fairly diverse place, where nearly any company that considers themselves under the heading of “Collision and Repair” sets up shop.  As such, it’s aisles seem to be a bit less trafficked than the more in-your-face South and Central halls, even though there are always more than a few must-see builds displayed inside it.  Case in point is M2 Motoring’s Widebody GTI, which was found inside the Whistler Group booth.

Being in the business of Radar Detection and GPS Navigation Devices, Whistler needed a car which gave off the appearance of a  total police magnet.  In just briefly looking at this GTI with its flared arches, massive rear wing and front diffuser, and bold pink window stickers, I’d say it’s a job well done.

We don’t know a whole lot about this car, as we didn’t really have a chance to chat anyone up about the build, but as far as we can tell, the car has some sort of turbo upgrade from ATP Turbos, HRE Wheels, revamped bushings courtesy of Whiteline, suspension by CKS, and an unidentified widebody kit.  Aside from that, we’re filing this car under “missed connections.”

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.
