Find of the Day: Widebody 2012 Golf R

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

There are people in this life who’ll tell you that discretion is the better part of valor. They’re wrong.

Exhibit A: This 2012 two-door (sigh) Golf R from New Jersey. From the paint to the wheel studs, every part has been considered and the result is pretty breathtaking.

Not only does it come with modifications to its appearance—like those 18” matte black Work Wheels with gloss black lips—it also comes with a Unitronic Stage II tune.

Inside it’s been custom upholstered everywhere, except for the rear seats, which were deleted. In there place a Braum harness bar and racing harnesses have been added.

The list of mods is pretty long, so I’ll just add it below, but even that, says the owner is incomplete. As the seller, @justinsr20, says every inch has been considered. And for all that attention he’s asking $29,000.

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.
