Volkswagen Rabbit Mk1 Vr6 on 2040-cars
Tappan, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit with a 12v VR6 swap. The car runs strong, pulls hard, shifts smooth and stops great. The car is completely rust free and always has been. History: The car started life as a1981 Volkswagen Rabbit 1.6L diesel which it is still titled as. (clean NY title in hand). The car is straight and rust free inside and out. (The perfect candidate for a build). A 12v Corrado with around 60,000 miles was used for this build. The engine, gear box, radiator, brakes (4 wheel discs) hubs and axles were used for this build from the Corrado. So yes its 5 lug all the way around. This is not a euro wise or other kit, its all hand welded and braced for strength in all the right areas for proper support. The car handles the power! And could handle more if you decide need be. Anyway, stock engine and gear box, with completely programmable stand-alone engine management system. K+N with snorkel type intake, Techtonics header and Borla muffler. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator and map sensor. Otherwise stock. Reliable and fun, what more can you ask for. The car was built to be fast and light. No unnecessary weight on this car. No A/C, and no heat. That stuff weighs too much. Small things were removed too like those little cross braces under the hood and the rain tray. It has an eight gallon fuel cell. The battery was relocated to the trunk with battery shut-off switch externally mounted. 6 point roll cage welded in. 5 point harnesses for driver and passenger (no back seat). Schmidt 3 piece wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes T1R tires with a sweet off set. (front:195/45R15, rear:205/45R15) Adjustable coil-overs in all 4 corners. Upper and lower sway bars. Custom interior, fresh gloss black paint exterior. No dings, dents or other in paint, a quality job. Things we need to discuss: This is a hot-rod, it has no heat, no back seat etc...dont ask me if i have any of the original parts. This car was intended for race use but it never got around to making it to the track, so bumpers, lights, mirrors etc were added to pass inspection. Im happy with the car except the guy that wired up the dash. It has the Auto-Meter comp racing guage set-up. The important ones work, the others well, not so much. Im pretty sure it would take an afternoon to iron out the simple electrical wiring issues. Its not a complicated dash, simple 2 wire set-up. It never stops me from enjoying the car, I have only needed the tach and temp, they both work. Im available to talk to at 845-405-9316. I prefer cash in person. I can help with shipping by making sure the car gets on the truck you send, or take it to a shipping location in a reasonable distance to item location.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
