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.

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.
