Bumper Cars without Bumping

Bumper Cars without Bumping

To promote their collision avoidance tech, Volkswagen fitted bumper cars at a theme park with ultrasonic sensors and automatic braking to prevent them from hitting each other. They got the point across, but also wrecked the fun.

Volkswagen XL Sport Concept

The XL Sport has the same 1199cc V-Twin engine that’s in the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. That means it only has 197hp and 99 lb.-ft. of torque to work with, but the concept car makes up for it with its low drag coefficient and weight.

1,000HP Volkswagen Golf

Boba-Motoring’s insane 16Vampir VW Golf is turbocharged to 1,013hp. It goes from 0 to 60mph in 2.3s and tops out at nearly 200mph. What’s that? You have a Bugatti Veyron SS and a Nissan GT-R? Watch this and weep.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTI

Lighter, wider and lower than its predecessor. It has a 220hp 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, goes from 0 to 62mph in 6.5s and tops out at 153mph. Video of the concept car here.

The Camper tent is cute and all, but if you’re looking for a more permanent travel companion, the Dub-Box will suit you better. It’s fully furnished, but the matching VW van is not included.

Volkswagen: Dog Strikes Back

Volkswagen: Dog Strikes Back

We’re not sure if dogs, weight loss, James Brown, Star Wars and Volkswagen make any sense together either. You be the judge of the extended cut of VW’s pot-luck of a Super Bowl commercial.

Sub-Compact Car

Sub-Compact Car

VW recently redesigned the Beetle, but we think this is taking it a bit too far. Somewhere up the road, there’s a passenger lying on the side of the road in the other half of this car.
