If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: latanyalhherbel@ukwriters.net .
Okay, where do I start? Firstly, I don't need to sell the car, but I've got my eyes on something else, and I can't
go forward with that until I free up some space. I've been through it all with this car. Blood, sweat, tears,
anger, frustration, excitement, and a few bank accounts. Been building the car since I purchased it new, nearly 4
years ago. I can finally say the car is as perfect as it can get, and running stronger than ever.
The car has never been in any accidents. The only damage it ever had was a front bumper that got damaged from road
debris. I have since purchased a new OEM bumper. The car has now gone through a full metal widebody build with
matching front and rear bumpers. Both front and rears have been widened approximately an extra 2.5". All work has
been done by Decaudellas in Melbourne, FL. . The body on the car is a 9.5/10.Currently the only cosmetic flaw is a
small chip on left side of rear bumper. I can get a picture for those serious. Those that are familiar with Clay
and his shop (Decaudellas), know that his work is nothing short of perfect, show quality. Around the same time, I
had a custom 4 point roll cage built for the car and powder coated white to match the exterior. It is easily
removable if desired. Along with cage, 4 point harnesses also went in.
The only people that have ever touched this car are either myself, or almost always USP Motorsports in Coral
Springs,FL - not even local VW dealers. They've done all of the major work on the car, from custom parts, to
suspension, full engine and transmission build, etc, etc, etc. I have receipts and invoices of every single thing
that's gone into the car or that's been done to it since the day I purchased it. Over $60k worth of labor and parts
(I have ALL receipts). I gladly welcome PPI to those that are serious.
For those that know the car, know it. There's a 100+ page build thread on Vortex about the car, since the day I got
it, and everything it's been through. From the time it was bagged, to when I decided to go APR stage 3+, to an even
bigger turbo upgrade with custom tuning, to the 10 second quarter mile runs, built head, etc etc..
I could go on and on about this car really, there's just way way way too much to list and talk about. If you're
serious about the car, feel free to mesage me, and we can further discuss it. I'll also give you my phone number
for direct contact if serious.
And NO, I will not part out any of the car.
On to specs:
2012 GLI
6 Speed Manual
23,xxx miles (car gets driven about 1-2 times every two or three weeks.)
Single Owner car. I bought it new, and have had it ever since.
Engine: It's bulletproof. The built head was finally put on and tested at about 18k miles. When the motor was apart
at that same time, everything was checked, including pistons, rods, cylinder walls, compression, everything. The
motor is perfect, healthy. Not a single hint of any problems, no leaks, nothing. The car currently has two custom
APR tunes. One for 93 octane, which makes anywhere from 420-450 ish whp depending on boost settings, and a race gas
tune which makes 520-580 whp depending on boost settings. There is a Greddy Profec Spec II boost controller to keep
track of all that. Everything of which I will go over with whoever is serious about the car. Also have dyno sheets
of everything, videos, etc. There was a new Precision 5858 turbo put in around 16k miles, so everything is like
new.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars
Mon, Oct 4 2021After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:
Next VW Camper van concept to be electric
Sun, Apr 5 2015The next-generation Volkswagen Transporter workhorse van (teased above) debuts on April 15, but VW is also working on a more retro-inspired van concept that would be motivated by electric power. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen development boss on the automotive giant's board of management, described the upcoming Camper concept to Autocar at the New York Auto Show. On the outside, the model would feature a wide D-pillar, boxy design and small front overhang to maintain a classic look. "The distance from the A-pillar to the front end must be very short," he said to Autocar. For power, an electric motor would spin the front axle, and the batteries would be located under the floor. Dr. Neusser was clear that the electric van was just a concept but didn't say when it might debut. He also didn't indicate if the vehicle shared a platform with the new T6 or some over model in the company's lineup. VW has been toying with building a retro-style van for over a decade. In 2001, it showed the Microbus concept, and a decade later there was the Bulli. Neither of them ever actually saw production.
VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas
Sun, Sep 25 2022Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement. RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.
