Awesome VW, 2004 MKIV R32. Many performance upgrades, including:
Stage 2 VF Supercharger with intercooler (you can see the big intercooler hiding behind the low center grill) Methanol Injection. Metered according to boost, using a Snow Performance injection controller. Meth tank/pump are mounted in the rear hatch area. Oversize stainless exhaust. Adjustable coil-over suspension. Slotted and drilled brake rotors. This car is super fun to drive. On the track, it'll run with much more expensive cars. Previous owner (I think I'm owner #2), did almost all the upgrades, and claimed ~450hp, with race mode loaded into the ECU, on the right fuel. I'm won't claim a HP number (haven't dyno tested it), but can attest that it is a VERY strong runner. Lots of recent work - including new alternator and battery, new serpentine/supercharger-drive belt, new oil pump and bearings, new clutch, new dogbone lower motor mount. The pictures speak for themselves. And the sound (turn it up!):
Direct video link (embedded video doesn't seem to work for some mobile devices): Video. From the VIN, ebay automatically extracted some of the vehicle details. Rest assured, this is no longer a "naturally aspirated" car. In the interest of full disclosure, let's list the known flaws: - The tint job on the windows could use a re-do. - It's 10 year old paint. So, it's got a few nicks, door dings, tired clear coat in a couple spots. But it is certainly presentable and drivable as-is. (it's just not new-car fresh) - Previous owner had the rear seats out (lighter weight for racing). I am still missing the drivers side lower rear seat. I may still recover the original from the previous owner; but - if not - have a source where a near-new replacement can be purchased for $65, including shipping. - It appears that there was, at one time, a big subwoofer box in the back. Wiring is still there for it; but I don't have the sub, box, or amp. - I haven't had this car long, and to be honest, don't know as much as I should about it. For instance, I haven't played with the flashloader. So the new owner will get to figure out a few things dialing it in for his or her preference. Car is located in Salt Lake City, UT. It's stored at a shop, and available for inspection. I can help facilitate shipping if required. |

Volkswagen might cut 40 models across brands to save cash
Mon, Jun 20 2016Volkswagen once set out to pass Toyota and General Motors and become the largest automaker in the world. Following months of fallout from the diesel emissions scandal, the manufacturer is rumored to be dropping around 40 models from its company-wide lineup. According to German business and finance publication Handelsblatt, the Volkswagen Group is looking to slim down and remove a number of low-volume vehicles from various lineups. The company currently sells around 340 models across brands that include Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Volkswagen is refusing to comment, but Handelsblatt claims to have sources within the company. Last week, Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller announced a new strategy for the company that includes a major focus on electric vehicles and new technology services. During his announcement, Muller said the company would be cutting a number of models, but at the time no numbers, models, or brands were discussed. Despite comments to the contrary, rumors have persisted since late last year that Volkswagen was looking to sell commercial truck and bus manufacturer MAN. Volkswagen owns truck and bus manufacturer Scania, so even if it dropped MAN, the company would still have a foothold within the bus and truck market. There is also talk of the company selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which Volkswagen acquired via Audi in 2012. The company's image has taken a huge hit in the wake of the diesel scandal. Volkswagen has set aside cash in order to pay fines and may be looking to sell these several subsidiaries and cut low-volume models in order offset the costs. Despite the scandal, the company led worldwide sales in the first quarter of 2016. The same was true in 2015, but sales tanked at the end of the year following the diesel revelations.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.
