For sale: 2004 VW R32, and easily the nicest one for sale on ebay. 88,420 miles and is only driven once a week to keep the battery charged. Although the car is not stock, it features only minor modifications designed to enhance the driveability of the vehicle. This car has had three owners and was in Colorado until 86,4xx miles so it has no rust or corrosion anywhere on the vehicle. I have a relatively complete service history since new (have previous owner’s records) and all services have been performed on time. Both factory recalls (coil pack, sunroof drain) have been performed on this vehicle.

-          First owner owned vehicle up to 58200 miles and performed the following modifications:

o   K&N filter

o   ECS tuning stubby antenna (won’t get ripped off in car wash. Original included)

o   ECS tuning clear side markers

o   Hawk performance ceramic brake pads (OE stopping quality, no brake dust and very long life)

-          Second owner was a vehicle broker for his side business and owned the car for ~2000 miles

-          I purchased the vehicle at ~60,200 miles in 2011 and performed the following modifications:

o   Carbonio cold air intake with custom AEM Dri-flo filter to avoid MAF fouling (stock intake is included with vehicle)

o   APR tune with stock, 91, 93, and 100 octane tune with security lockout mode. I’ve seen over 30mpg highway average since installing the tune

o   SSR type-c wheels in 18x8.5 with 235/40/18 Dunlop ZII tires. These are a massive performance upgrade over stock, saving over 10 lbs/wheel despite the larger width.

o   Sport Edition F12 wheels in 17x7.5 with 225/45/17 Yokohama ice guard winter tires. The smaller diameter improved winter ride quality.

o   SEAT Cupra R front lip spoiler gives the car a sportier touch.

o   Replaced front bumper undertray panels- no more curb rash!

I have changed the Haldex differential fluid every 15000 miles or less, which is an extremely important maintenance item on these vehicles. In addition, transmission and differential fluid was changed at about 84000 miles with Schaffer gear oil by Metrick Methodz in Fort Collins, CO.

This car has been freshly detailed inside and out (will have ext. detail finished 3/9/14), which will leave it looking showroom-fresh aside from one 3” scuff in the clearcoat behind the driver’s side door. In addition, the cargo area carpet is wrinkled and the hatch door plastic has a few scratches in it. The seats show no signs of wear, even the massive driver’s side bolster- I have always taken great care getting in and out of this thing.

This car is an opportunity to buy an R32 that needs nothing, and if the current market is any indication, should prove to be a good investment that may even gain value with time.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, 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:

Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels

Thu, Oct 29 2015

Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.
