VW is the King of the Ring

Nürburgring's infamous Nordschleife has once again removed its speed liimts, and it was only a matter of time before the different automakers would attempt to set new speed records. And Volkswagen has done exactly that, recording the fastest front-wheel-drive with the all-new Golf GTI Clubsport S.

                                                

The all-new Golf GTI Clubsport S puts out about 306 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The weight in the Clubsport S weighs in under 3,000 pounds and does 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds. It comes with a standard adaptive suspension. Volkswagen will only produce just 400 these cars, with 100 staying in Germany.

VW's 7:49.21 lap time positively decimates the record of 7:50.63 set by a preproduction 2015 Honda Civic Type R, which itself bested the previous record of 7:54.36, held by the Renault Mégane RS.

VW is getting back in the van game.

But its not the VW Bus you are thinking of.

Recently Volkswagen released sketches of its new Crafter Panel Van, ahead of its launch in autumn 2016. They are jumping in feet first into the commercial vehicle industry.  

The new model will feature Volkswagen’s latest family face, sporting in the front with the wide grille and large VW badge. This van has sleek lights on the front and rear that are one of the design highlights, as well as large alloy wheels round out the exterior.

The interior is completely customizable. From a passenger transport van to cargo/work van.  Roof variants, partitions, floor coverings, tow bars and access aids are also available.

More details are on the way soon, but for now VW is saving plenty of information for the official reveal. Currently the Crafter features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine in four guises, with 108bhp, 113bhp, 135bhp and 161bhp, with up to 37.7mpg and 208g/km emissions.

Expect an entry-level load bay of around 100 inches. There will be more options to choose from, however, including a long-wheelbase version that adds extra space inside.

We look forward to the fall when these finally arrive. Contact us to set up your appointment now.
