Hello fellow VW enthusiast, meet my MK4 1999.5 fully custom turbo GTI VR6 which represents all the best of speed, style, and sound!  When I say custom, I mean there is NOTHING stock about this car...  $20,000 in the engine bay and drive train, $20,000 in custom paint and body work, $10,000 in the suspension, brakes, wheels, and tires, and $5,000 in the interior and sound system.  This beast is ready to plaster you into the back of your seat and is currently tuned with full stand alone engine management to over 400 whp.  The motor is fully built top-to-bottom and ready to make over 600 whp if you so desire.  The car has been transformed into a real wide-body (not using a body kit) with all body moldings and door locks shaved and has a custom black and silver two-tone paint job along with Audi door handles.  In addition, it has huge Porsche brakes, a fully adjustable coil-over suspension, and staggered wheels and tires for an aggressive stance and fly-paper adhesion to the road.  Add to that tastefully done black alcantra door panels, headliner, and pillars with a great sounding custom sound system!  Everything has been done meticulously and to the highest standard.

 

The car runs and handles great and will make a true enthusiast very happy.  The chassis has 82,527 miles on it, but the engine build only has about 7,000 miles on it.  The stand-alone engine management system is Lugtronics (Megasquirt) and gives you full control over tuning with my Dell laptop which is included with the car.  You can easily monitor and adjust every parameter of fuel, ignition, etc. and document the results via the Mega Viewer program.  You also have control over launch, rev limiter, NOS, or any other output.  There is an RS-232 data cable inside the car which connects to the included Dell laptop and has all the tuning and documentation software on it.  Just plug it in and start tuning with this amazing software!

 

This car is absolutely incredible, but since I am very particular, I think there a few minor things that you should know about:  the gap between the front bumper and fenders is not perfect and there are some minor stone chips (the car has been driven and is not a trailer queen after all).  In addition, there are two pieces of trim missing on either side of the radio/climate control in the dash and the back window tint has a bubble in it.  Other than that the interior and exterior are immaculate!  Also, the back seats have been removed but are included with the sale of the car.  

 

Well it's time for the CHA-CHING portion of the listing... Here are all the parts and modifications on this one-of-a-kind vehicle:

Audi's Project Artemis woes could delay range of VW Group EVs

Tue, Jul 19 2022

Two years ago, Audi's then new CEO Markus Duesmann announced his first big initiative called Project Artemis. The plan's marquee component is "to implement a new lighthouse project for Audi in record time," being "a highly efficient electric car scheduled to be on the road as early as 2024" on a brand new platform that would be shared with Porsche and Bentley. An ex-VW and -Porsche man named Alex Hitzinger, who'd also spent time at Apple working on the tech company's electric car, was brought on board to lead Project Artemis and come up with new ideas. Parent Volkswagen Group said it wanted to become "as agile as in a racing team," removing the bureaucratic molasses and bottlenecks interfering with getting the best product on the road in the best time. However, in any grand venture, failure comes before success. Automobilwoche reports that Artemis is struggling through issues large enough to push the product plans back by years. The issue, as it was with the ID.3 lineup on the eve of that car's launch, is software. Well, that's the latest, largest problem; Artemis has already been through copious struggles before getting to the software bit. Two months after Hitzinger came on, in December 2020, VW raised its EV volume target from 50% to 70% by 2030. That necessitated a rethink of the VW Group's entire platform strategy considering the far greater production scale. Hitzinger only lasted six months in the job, ousted in May 2021, supposedly because Audi believed his ideas were "not suitable for profitable series production" among other reasons. By that time, the pace of software development was already said to be six months behind schedule, with the Car.Software division working on VW.OS 2.0 "not yet running at the speed hoped for." Internal frictions were noteworthy and costly as well. VW's commercial division plant in Hanover was meant to build Artemis vehicles for Audi, Porsche and Bentley, but Automobilwoche reported in January of this year that Porsche paid a ""small three-digit million amount" — like $100 million or so — to get out of the deal mandating its vehicles come from the Hanover facility.    So Audi effectively brought Artemis in-house to lead vehicle development, and Car.Software turned into Cariad to get VW.OS and VW.AC, which stands for Automotive Cloud, to market.  The first Audi vehicle under Project Artemis was planned to arrive by the end of 2024, a production version of the Grandsphere concept.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:
