All-New Touareg Will Be Revealed at Beijing Show

Volkswagen is introducing a brand new Touareg crossover at the Beijing Motor Show next month, but the automaker has given us a first look at the new design.

The sketch shows a silhouette that takes design elements from the Atlas and new Tiguan, but with more curves. The grille and fender vent call strongly to the new Tiguan, but the hood is more rounded than its siblings. The side bodyline shows more curves and hints at wide shoulders over the rear arches. The curved roofline looks more like it’s Porsche Cayenne distant sibling than it does the boxy Atlas.

Volkswagen says that the new Touareg is the brand’s flagship and a milestone in the company’s latest run of new models.

The Touareg will debut a new Innovision Cockpit. That will give VW one of the largest digital cockpits in the class. It will have new innovative assistance systems along with an air suspension system. The third-generation Touareg will get rear-wheel steering and roll stabilization to give it improved driving dynamics.

Volkswagen has sold almost a million Touaregs since the model launched in 2002. The newest generation will be revealed March 23rd at the Beijing Motor Show

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
