VW Passat CC



The new Passat CC looks like a fellow German counterpart, but it can definitely hold it’s own with a gang of features. Notably Lane Assist, Dynamic Drive Control, Park Assist, and Automatic Distance Control. Whatever the hell that means. All you need to know is that it has 280hp.

w12_gti.jpg
i think i can speak on behalf of most volkswagen owners out there, that we didn’t quite see this one coming. although at 202 mph… who really could?

from vortex…

- VW claims a top speed of 202 mph
- 6.0l W12 12-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine mounted in the back seat of the GTI
- 650hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque (!)
- with the flared fenders the car sits over 6 feet wide and only 4.6 feet tall
- 19″ wheels with 295 rear rubber and 235 front rubber
- the fenders are flared 3.15″ at the rear
and while it’s a little fast and furious style-wsie for my tastes.. you can’t shrug off those numbers.

VW Thunder Bunny



Volkswagen introduces a concept vehicle that reflects its roots in the sport compact tuning community. This car is a throwback of the original 80’s Neuspeed Rabbit “thunder bunny” concept that sparked the addition of the GTI to VW’s range in North America, where it was previously only available in Europe.

The ‘07 concept has 225 horsepower, gold rims and a whole lot of other shit.
