New Tiguan, Touran and BUDD-e Earn Design Awards

Plus X Awards and iF Design Awards for popular Volkswagen models

Volkswagen has become a triple winner this year in the Plus X Awards for innovation and a double winner in the iF Design Awards. The new Tiguan, Touran and BUDD-e thus took five significant innovation and design prizes.

The Plus X Awards, the world’s biggest for innovation in technology, sport and lifestyle, saw three Volkswagen brand models win over the judges: the new Tiguan and the Touran won the award for ‘High Quality, Design, Ease of Use and Functionality’, while the award for ‘Innovation and Design’ went to the pioneering BUDD-e concept car, which hit the headlines in January at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Volkswagen also received awards from the international iF jury, which honoured the design of the Touran compact MPV and new Tiguan with the ‘2016 iF Design Award’. The trophy is one of the world’s most important design prizes and has been regarded for over 60 years as a recognised hallmark of excellent product design.

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 ...
