VW Amarok Power Pick-Up (2013) first pictures of super-truck concept

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 13 May 2013 11:20

This the the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up concept car. After the 496bhp Golf GTI 'Design Vision', Seat racers, Skoda Rapid Sport and Audi's stripped TTS, you'd have been forgiven for thinking we'd seen the last of 2013's tuned VWs, but instead we've got an Amarok that'll hit 62mph in just 7.9sec. What gives the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up its, erm, ...

As CAR reported in our scoop last week, VW will unveil a higher-performance Golf GTI hot hatch at the 2013 Wörthersee show, and here we have the first sketches of the super-Golf. Called the VW Design Vision Golf GTI, the concept packs close to 500bhp and can outrun a Porsche 911. It's by far the most extreme Golf hot hatch since ...

VW CrossBlue Coupe concept (2013) first pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 19 April 2013 13:00

This is VW's latest SUV concept: the CrossBlue Coupe. If the name sounds familiar, you'll remember it from the CrossBlue concept SUV we saw at the Detroit motor show back in January 2013. This car is lower, and boasts sportier detailing. It's not a true coupe (despite how VW badges it) but it does preview the look of a sporty SUV ...

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ollie Kew, 04 April 2013 14:00

The new Mk7 VW Golf GTI is now on sale in the UK priced from £25,845. That's only a £195 rise over the old Mk6 Golf GTI, despite the extra power, performance, and a 2.2mpg improvement in economy. Hang on - nearly £26k for a VW Golf GTI is a bit steep, isn't it?  Actually, it's better value than the old Mk6 Golf GTI. For a ...

VW is dipping its toes into the electric car pool with its first battery vehicle: an electric Up city car. Christened the 'e-Up', it's not a special edition for Yorkshire only, but rather a silent, zero-emission EV that VW reckons is the perfect commuter's tool. Read on for the full spec. Tell me about the VW e-Up's powertrain Instead of ...

VW XL1 (2013) 314mpg eco-car heads for production

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 26 February 2013 09:30

VW supremo Ferdinand Piech has kept his promise of putting the XL1 super-eco car into production. VW has confirmed the 313mpg XL1 will be built in limited numbers, around 50 of which are earmarked for UK sale. It's an expensive way to save money on fuel though: projected prices for the XL1 run into six figures. Why is the VW ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 21 February 2013 11:00

VW's Golf GTD - a performance diesel brother to the GTI hot hatch - is here. Rated at 182bhp and 280lb ft, it boasts more punch than the old GTD (an extra 12bhp and 14lb ft), and scores better fuel economy too: up 14mpg to 67.3mpg, if you opt for the six-speed manual gearbox. Could this be the Holy Grail of hot hatches, with punch and economy? Here's the lowdown. How ...

VW Golf R Cabriolet (2013) first official pictures

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ollie Kew, 07 February 2013 14:00

Volkswagen has officially revealed the Mk6 Golf's swansong: the production-ready Golf R Cabriolet. First seen at the 2011's Worthersee enthusiast show, the new Golf R Cabriolet packs the same 266bhp engine as its hard-top sister, but loses its all-wheel drive underpinnings. It's now a front-driver, like a regular Golf GTI. What are the VW Golf R Cabriolet's performance specs? The Golf R Cabriolet gets ...

VW CrossBlue concept (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Jonathan Burn, 14 January 2013 16:15

This is Volkswagen's next SUV, just revealed at the 2013 Detroit motor show. Called the CrossBlue, it's a 'mid-sized' six-seat SUV aimed specifically at the American market. Yet judging by these images, and to these European eyes, there doesn’t seem to be much ‘mid-sized’ about it – it's a mammoth five metres long, coming in at 200mm longer than a VW Touareg. It's just a ...
