Robert Griffin III Rolls Up to NFL Training Camp in a B3 Passat

Earlier this year, the sports press were all atwitter about NY Mets player Yeonis Cespedes’ habit of driving crazy hypercars to training camp. Last week, the NFL proved that they can keep up with anything America’s so-called Game can do thanks to Robert Griffin III, who drove a noteworthy car of his own to training camp.

The Cleveland Browns starting quarterback is a man of means. Griffin brings in millions each year, so he could take just about any car he likes to training camp. It seems, though that Clevelanders prefer to be humble, as Griffin rocked up to the stadium in a B3 Passat VR6.

Although there’s only the one picture of the Passat, it does appear to be in remarkably good shape. There’s nary a scratch to be found and even though the paint is black—a notoriously difficult color to keep clean—the VW is clean as a whistle.

And as a new father, of course, the family-sized Passat is the right car for the job, though that top-of-the-line VR6 engine should still give Griffin enough punch to get him to games on time.

We here at VW Vortex applaud Griffin on his fine choice of cars.

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 ...
