1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle, Solid Build, Raked Out, Turbo Kit, Roof Rack on 2040-cars
East Greenbush, New York, United States
Up for auction is one 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. this has been a favorite in my collection for quite some time, and my wife is having a hard time letting her go. this has always been the most reliable out of my fleet of classic vehicles, and has traveled all over the northeast on some fantastic buggy adventures. She has an amazing look and feel to her, wonderful patina an draws a crowd wherever I go. Supports a freshly built 1600 dual port, stock build 26mpg Adjustable New Empi front suspension, with rear adjustable torsion bars included Recovered Seats Roof Rack Turbo Kit ready for install, Custom made Subaru style setup that came off a running 1600 New Tires/Brakes/MasterCylinder/Rear window rubber.....many other random new parts To be clear this car is far from perfect, but shows very well. there is a crack in the dash, flaws in the paint, and other little things that add to the character of the car. Although you would be hard pressed to find a more solid, drivable bug in the northeast. That being said she is an absolute blast to drive, and I recommend anyone interested to contact me and inspect the car in person. I do not want to misrepresent the car, and would rather take you out for a ride and show all the thumbs up you'll get rather than bidding blind.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
