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, ...

Rated 1 out of 51

Ollie Kew, 22 April 2013 22:00

Volkswagen’s hottest Golf – the R – has hit the Nürburgring for final shakedown tests ahead of its late 2013 launch. Tell-tale signs we’re looking at the Golf R testing are the large trapezoidal front grilles, sporty alloy wheels wearing low-profile rubber, and for the first time on a hot Golf, quad tailpipes. Previous Golf Rs have used two central ...

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 ...

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops:  the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...
