2012 Vw Golf R, Apr Tuned Stage Ii+ on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
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. |

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
