Volkswagen Teams up with Beats Audio for New Polo Beats

Fancy sound systems have long been associated with Volkswagen. Just last week they revealed the Golf GTI Heartbeat, a one-off concept with a serious sound system at Wörthersee, and before that there was the Beetle Fender Edition.

Now, the Polo Beats is ready to be ordered in European showrooms. Built in conjunction with Dr. Dre’s BeatsAudioTM, the little hatch is going to make big sound. That’s thanks to a seven-speaker system with a 300 watt, eight-channel amp.

The system runs through two tweeters in the A-pillars, two woofers in the front doors, two broadband speakers in the rear doors, and a subwoofer in the spare wheel compartment.

Volkswagen promises that buyers won’t just be able to hear their music, they’ll be able to feel it, too.

Outside, the Polo Beats will be identifiable thanks to its 16-inch syenite allow wheels, offered in white or black. Colored mirrors, too, will tell this car apart from a normal Polo, as well as decorative side trim, and a glossy black grille.

Inside, the Polo Beats gets sports seats and door panels trimmed with the Beats design. Colored seat belts will keep owners safe and leather steering wheel finishes off the look.

Volkswagen are so pleased with the idea that an Up! Beats will also be offered this summer.

The Polo Beats is ready to be ordered today, with prices starting at €15,975 (£13,910).

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 ...
