KONI Updates Shocks for Passat

At the request of the VW tuner and enthusiast community, KONI has tested and approved the KONI Sport and KONI FSD struts and shocks for the USA built 2012-2016 Volkswagen Passat known as the NMS (New Midsize Sedan) chassis. The adjustable KONI Sport part numbers 8741 1488SPORT and 8040 1352SPORT as well as the patented ride control technology of KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) part number 2100 4026 can officially be used on both US and European built Passats for improved handling performance, ride quality, and tuning adjustability. These KONI dampers are available and shipping to dealers and consumers in North America now and carry the standard KONI limited lifetime warranty.

SPORT KONl Sport struts and shocks are the industry leader in externally adjustable damping, establishing the ultimate user control. By easily adjusting between a soft comfortable ride setting to a more firm aggressive ride, KONI Sport transforms the “daily driver” into the weekend track machine without hassle. With its very broad range of adjustability, KONI SPORT is a great choice to upgrade a stock, original equipment (OE) suspension or when matched with lowering springs and other performance upgrades for better handling and a more aggressive look and road feel. KONI Sport carries a limited lifetime warranty as with most KONI products.
FSD KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) patented technology is the first premium no-compromise shock absorber in the world. FSD offers superior performance handling when installed on a original equipment (OE) suspension or when matched with other performance upgrades without degrading ride quality for cars and light trucks, SUVs, motor homes, and service vehicles while improving grip and safety in daily driving. KONI FSD automatically adjusts to road conditions as well as driving style, all within a fraction of a second guaranteeing greater stability, control and driving pleasure.  KONI FSD carries a lifetime warranty as with most KONI products.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
