Volkswagen to Premiere Five-Car Event Fleet

The birds are singing, the trees are budding, and the flowers are blooming, which can only mean one thing: it’s show season. Cars will be gathering in parking lots and fields all over the country, and Volkswagen of America will be in on the action with their new fleet of five show cars.

VW will be touring their fleet across the country, starting tomorrow (May 14) with The European Experience in Savannah, Georgia.

The cars were inspired by diverse interests of Volkswagen enthusiasts and focus on performance and pure style. They are:

A Bali Green Golf 1.8T that sports classic touches, like yellow headlights and golden BBS Super RS wheels. The Golf is also lowered by two inches and has a black stripe along the bottom of the doors.

A Jetta GLI that’s perfect for the street or the track. It has 18-inch Neuspeed RSe53 wheels with sticky BFGoodrich g-Force Rival tires to keep you glued to the track. Fans of Two Lane Blacktop will also get a frisson, because Volkswagen have designed this Jetta to neatly fit its wheels and tools inside (with the seats folded).

A lowrider Passat. This bagged car has an AccuAir E-level TouchPad air management package that was installed by Boden AutoHaus in California. It currently sits on 20-inch forged Vossen LC-106Ts, but Volkswagen will be changing the wheels regularly to highlight all the best looking wheels on offer.

A Golf GTI designed for style. This particular GTI is lowered on H&R Street Performance coilovers and wears 20-inch forged LC-103 gloss gold wheels from Vossen. The wheel color is carried over onto the heritage stripes on the GTI’s doors, and again onto the carrier box up top.

And finally a Golf R inspired by the Scirocco GT Black Edition. This Golf R will feature a matte black roof wrap and VW Zubehör 19-inch black aluminum-alloy Lugano wheels. These will be wrapped in Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires and attached to the chassis via H&R Sport Springs that were specifically engineered to accommodate the Golf R’s Dynamic Chassis Control.

Keep a look out for these five stunners that will be touring the country’s enthusiast events all summer.

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...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
