Frankfurt: T-Roc Gets R-Line Trim

Joining the “Sport” and “Style” trims, Volkswagen showed the “R-Line” trim package at the T-Roc’s motor show premiere earlier today at the Frankfurt motor show.

Unlike the other colorful and funky trim packages, the R-Line embraces the dark, with a black textured diffuser, a dark red LED tail light cluster, a black textured air intake, and body-colored bumpers and door add-ons.

The dark theme continues on the wheels, which can either be 18-inch Sebrings finished in Grey Metallic or 19-inch Suzukas, finished in Dark Graphite.

Inside, meanwhile, the roof is lined in black textile, the pedal caps are made of stainless steel, and the seats are finished in “Carbon Flag/San Remo” seat covers. Meanwhile, a leather-look material covers the door armrests, the head rests, and outer seat bolsters.

And finally, the whole car is bedecked in R-Line badges, despite which powertrain options remain the same.

If you’re looking for something a little more colorful, the Style package is where it’s at. The contrasting roof color proves that two-tone cars are back in style, a program with which I’m very much on board. With chrome tailpipes and door trim, as well as silver underbody guards and diffusers, it’s the polar opposite of the R-Line. And the 17-inch wheels in four different colors only add to the color palette.

Meanwhile, the Sport trim splits the difference. With smoked glass on the windows and lights, the Sport trim has some of the R-Line’s severity, but with chrome trim, red brake calipers, and silver body guards, there’s a bit of the Style package’s ebullience.

All of which is based on the MQB platform, with six engines (three TDI, three TSI) available, offering anywhere from 115 hp to nearly 200. Offered with front- or all-wheel drive and a 7-speed DSG gearbox, the T-Roc is an agile micro-SUV. As ever, though, VW has opted not to offer the T-Roc in America or Canada.

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...

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...
