2012 Volkswagen Golf R, APR Tuned stage 2+

 

You have to be a VW enthusiast to appreciate this car.  This could be the most fun car to drive at an affordable price. I purchased this car new and drove it like a sweet old lady until I had 1,000 miles on the clock, then the upgrades started. First I had it tuned to APR stage I and unleashed the horses which took the HP from 250 to 300. Unfortunately for my wallet this only gave me a thirst for more. So a new APR turbo back exhaust, a high pressure fuel pump, a VWR cold air intake and a ARP re-flash to stage II+ boosted this screaming howling hatchback to a peak horsepower of 362hp and 370 ft-lbs of torque. The stock clutch that linked this much power to the 6 speed manual transmission could not take the extra hp without slipping and required a further upgrade to the South Bend  DXD KFSI HD OFE endurance clutch and flywheel package. The stock wheels also whilst adequate did not quite look the part with the steel grey paint job so VWR 18” X 8” ET45 gunmetal grey wheels were also required to complete the package. The total selling price of this car new without taxes and fees was $35,817 in April 2012. In addition the total cost for the upgrades: $8,000 installed, for a total investment of $43,817.

 

This car is now offered for sale complete with the stock parts (including the stock aluminium wheels if you need them for winter tires) or if a buyer wants I will keep all these parts for sale separately and reduce the final sale price of the car by $3,000.

 

If you are still reading you are probably aware of the other specifications for the R as it only comes fully loaded, however to reassure you let me give you the additional details anyway; This one is a 2 door hatchback, 4 wheel drive with 6 speed manual transmission. Sun roof, leather R seats and metal finish pedals. I bought this car new in May 2012. It is in immaculate condition. This car has never been in an accident or had any kind of body repair. I have only used the car on the road; it has never been on a track or raced in anyway. All the upgrades were carried out by an APR dealer here in Atlanta, I have the invoices and the APR certificate. All maintenance has been carried out on time. All records and documents in hand.  Non-smoker, no pets or kids have ever been in this car.  Just under 12,000 miles on the clock. Full Warranty and Carefree maintenance package until May 2015 or 36,000 miles. Power train warranty until May 2017 or 60,000 miles. Premium 8 RCD 510 sound with satellite radio (not subscribed) and media/i phone/i touch connectivity but you don’t need i tunes music, just listen to the car.  Mobile phone package with blue tooth.  I have both sets of keys. Don’t even ask about the MPG because if you care you don’t want this car, but it’s better than a Corvette or a Mustang. Clear title in hand. This is a private sale.

 

Professional Inspection is welcome. Buyer is responsible for collection.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
