Find of the Day: Supercharged Syncro Sedan

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

If you’re in the market for something different, have we got the car for you. Looking for a rare model to take to your next neighborhood Cars and Coffee? Then this 1992 Passat G60 Syncro may be right up your alley.

The third generation Passat was the most modern car Volkswagen had ever produced, and the designers graced it with almost futuristic styling. The front clip has a wedge shape, the body sides have a deep character line that runs around almost the entire car, and the glass is flush to the window surrounds. One of the most controversial styling elements is the grille-less front panel, it adds a ton of character to the design.

In the United States, Passats came standard with a 2.0L 16 valve engine or VW’s new VR6 engine. Both engines drove the front wheels. But Canadian buyers had an interesting option: the 1.8L G60 supercharged engine connected to VW’s Syncro all-wheel-drive system. And this particular super Syncro also comes with a manual transmission. Enthusiasts rejoice!

While it’s not perfect, for the age and mileage this Passat is in decent shape. The silver paint is shiny, but it looks like there may be some rust in the typical places. The Corrado steelies are a nice touch and compliment the body lines well. The owner upgraded the lights to Euro models; the front grille fitment may need some realignment.

Inside, this uncommon car is even more uncommon: it sports a blue interior with gray leather seats and door cards. Quite different. With 106,000 miles, the interior is not showroom new, but it is in fine condition. All trim and bits are in place: the seller notes the black headliner is not original, however. The Passat has new belts, brakes, and brake lines and it even comes with a Thule roof rack (not pictured).

This Syncro sedan was legally imported in July and has a clear Pennsylvania title. VWVortex member mav90g60 is asking $5500, and additional parts like an upgraded supercharger, are available with the car. You can see the car in-person in northeast PA. Check out our classifieds to see more information on this unique ride.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

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...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
