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.

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.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
