Audi Tradition Bringing Classic Audis to More Than 20 Shows in 2018

Audi Tradition is bringing some of its best classics to more than 20 events during 2018. They’ll be bringing out cars from the heritage collection to celebrate the birthday of August Horch and mark 50 years of the Audi 100.

The season starts with the Techno Classica show held in March in Essen. Audi is celebrating 50 years of the 100 at the show, with three special 100s on display alongside an Auto Union Type D and the Audi 200 quattro.

At the Schloss Dyck Classic Days in August, Audi Tradition will be showing luxury cars to honor the 150th birthday of August Horch. The display will feature Horch models from the 1920s and 1930s. At Sachsen Classic, Horch models will take the starting line.

At the 25th Goodwood Festival of Speed, Audi Tradition will be running an Auto Union Type C 16-cylinder racer from 1936. It will be headed up the Goodwood hill. In the German town of Daun, Audi will bring the Audi Sport quattro S1 that Walter Rohrl used to break records in the Pike’s Peak hill climb. An Audi 200 quattro TransAm racer will be at Hamburg’s Stadtpark-Revival event.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

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.
