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...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
