1998 Vw Vr6 New Beetle on 2040-cars
Rapid City, South Dakota, United States
|
This is a 1998 New Beetle with 218xxx miles on the body. The motor is a 12v 2.8L MKIV VR6 and is from a 2000 Jetta along with the 5-speed transmission and was professionally swapped into it by NGP Racing. I have been daily driving this car for years and have not had any problems with it. The car was recently repainted. The body is excellent except for one scuff on the front drivers side fender from a hit and run but no body damage was done. It runs great and starts everytime. The transmission shifts as it should and does not grind or crunch. The interior is also very nice with leather seats from a Turbo S Beetle, a custom painted Zolotone headliner, steering wheel from a GLI Jetta, and AWE pedals. This is a very torquey and powerful car and it also drives like a go-kart. I have put a lot of time and money into this car and do not want to sell it but I have to pay off my new car. It has 18" BBS RC's with 2 new front Eagle F1 tires. This car is very reliable and I would not hesitate to take this thing anywhere.
Here's what all is done on the car: *FK Streetline Coilovers *Stage 2 Daily DXD Clutch and Pressure plate *9 LB Flywheel *Polyurethane Dogbone and Transmission Mount Inserts *Front to back and side to side Short Throw shifter *K&N Intake *Fully ported and Polished Exhaust with Cat Delete with Magnaflow Catback *New Beetle Turbo S Seats *GLI Steering Wheel *AWE Pedals *European Tail lights *EBC Slotted front rotors with EBC red stuff pads *Clear side markers *Water Temperature Gauge *Zolotone Headliner (Like textured paint) *Color matched Interior *A/C Delete I'm sure there is more that I cannot think of. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. |

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
