The Dakar Rally started with the first stage win for Volkswagen. Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz (E/E) are leading the desert classic in the Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 after the first of 14 legs by 1m 31s ahead of X-raid BMW driver Stéphane Peterhansel.

The team colleagues of last year’s winners made a good showing on the 788-kilometre stage between Victoria and Córdoba in Argentina as well. Nasser Al-Attiyah/Timo Gottschalk (Q/D) finished the gravel stage in rain as the third-best contenders with a gap of 2m 16s. Mark Miller/Ralph Pitchford (USA/ZA) followed in fourth place with a 4m 17s gap. The Volkswagen foursome at the front of the field was completed by Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz (ZA/D) in fifth place overall and a gap of 5m 06s.

Kris Nissen (Volkswagen Motorsport Director)
"Today we experienced a superb performance of our drivers and co-drivers. The cars are perfectly prepared. I’m happy to see all of our team members working with absolute concentration at the start of the rally and not allowing themselves to get distracted by the huge crowd nor by the pressure caused by the expectations of the journalists. The conditions on the first leg were very difficult due to the large amount of water on the track. It’s hard to judge who was most heavily affected by this. With four cars among the top five Volkswagen experienced a tremendous start. Obviously, we’re going to continue our work on Monday and on the following legs highly motivated in order to master the upcoming tasks.”

The second leg and the second stage victory: Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz (E/E) managed to more than double their advantage in the Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 on the second day of the Dakar Rally.

The Spanish duo won the 764-kilometre stage from Córdoba to San Miguel in Argentina. Nasser Al-Attiyah/Timo Gottschalk (Q/D) completed Volkswagen’s one-two stage win today. X-raid BMW driver Stéphane Peterhansel, who was running in second place for a long time, finished the stage in third. Sainz is now leading the overall standings with 3m 05s in front of his closest rival, the Frenchman Peterhansel. After clinching his good stage result, Nasser Al-Attiyah has narrowed the gap to Stéphane Peterhansel to 14 seconds.

In the "Garden of the Republic” as the area in the Tucumán region is called Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz (ZA/D) in another Race Touareg set the stage’s fourth-best time, thus improving by one position to fourth place overall. Mark Miller/Ralph Pitchford (USA/ZA) in the fourth Race Touareg suffered a time loss. They damaged their vehicle during an excursion off the track at the beginning of the special stage and dropped back by more than 40 minutes in the interim standings.

Number of the day

About 2,400 cable ties are employed by the Volkswagen mechanics during a Dakar Rally. The ingenious universal ties are used for maintenance work on the Race Touareg 3 cars as well as for many other tasks. The number-one consumption material is always readily accessible in six different sizes and lengths on each of the four service trucks allocated directly to the "RT3” vehicles.

Coming up next …

Tuesday, 04 January: Gravel roads along increasingly high mountains pose the challenge to the Dakar Rally drivers on the third leg of the desert classic. Not only the drivers will have to tackle tricky tasks but so will the co-drivers. On the selective and winding route solid navigational skills in deeply fissured riverbeds are particularly crucial.

Mais um ressabiado anti-vw com dor de cotovelo.

O que vale é que é logo ressabiado. As frentes são praticamente iguais? São! Lá porque a Porsche o faz com o 911, não quer dizer que todos o tenham que fazer. Seria bom um pouco de diversidade dentro da Audi/VW? Na minha opinião seria, mas o design actualmente usado tanto na VW como na Audi está agradável, é sóbrio e discreto mas sem passar completamente despercebido.

YouTube - 2012 Volkswagen Passat - Chasing Flames

Press release:

Volkswagen Reveals the All-New Passat - A First-In-Class Vehicle That Delivers Superior German Engineering and Is Built in America.

The larger, sophisticated Passat offers best-in-class rear legroom, remarkable fuel efficiency estimated at 43 mpg with a driving experience only Volkswagen can deliver.

WOLFSBURG, Germany, HERNDON, Va., and DETROIT, Jan. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Volkswagen of America, Inc., today announced the world debut of the all-new Passat, a transformational car in Volkswagen's ambitious growth plan for the U.S. market.

Designed in Germany and made in America, the Passat was developed as a larger vehicle with premium features and handling characteristics that will perfectly match it with the tastes and lifestyles of Americans. It will be built in Chattanooga, Tenn., at the world's newest, most advanced and environmentally responsible auto assembly plant.

The new Passat, the largest ever, is the only midsize sedan that offers superior German engineering at an accessible price. The Passat TDI -- the only clean diesel option in the segment -- is expected to deliver 43 miles per gallon on the highway, with a range of approximately 800 miles.

Final pricing will be announced in the spring, but the Passat will start at around $20,000 when it arrives in dealer showrooms later this year. It will come with premium standard features that include automatic climate control and Bluetooth connectivity.

The new Passat offers best-in-class legroom, Volkswagen's Care Free Maintenance program (3 years/36,000 miles) and the safety of Volkswagen's Intelligent Crash Response System.

Volkswagen's new Chattanooga plant that will produce the Passat is part of a $4 billion investment by the company in the U.S. market. The environmentally friendly facility includes a revolutionary paint shop that significantly reduces emissions. A state-of-the-art $40 million employee training center ensures adherence to Volkswagen's exacting quality standards.

The Passat will set new benchmarks for safety, driving performance and environmental responsibility in the midsize segment.

Engine and Transmission

The all-new Passat offers three drivetrain options: a responsive 2.5L gasoline engine, a remarkably eco-friendly 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel and a powerful 3.6L VR6.

The 2.5L five cylinder engine (170 hp/177 lb.-ft.), which is being offered in the Passat for the first time, will be mated to a standard 5 speed manual transmission. As an alternative, the 2.5 multi port injection engine may be paired with a 6-speed automatic.

The quiet, four cylinder 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel (140 hp/236 lb.-ft.) has the power of a six cylinder gasoline engine and the fuel economy of a hybrid. The Passat TDI is expected to deliver 43 miles per gallon on the highway, with a range of approximately 800 miles. Volkswagen's TDI clean diesel engines, which come with a NOx storage catalytic converter, are among the cleanest engines in the world, fulfilling emissions requirements in all 50 states. Optional on the Passat TDI will be Volkswagen's legendary 6-speed DSG transmission.

The 3.6 liter VR6 (280 hp/258 lb.-ft.) makes the new Passat a top-flight sport sedan. It offers power and luxury-class driving comfort, with European-type restraint in its fuel consumption -- estimated at 28 mpg on the highway.

Gear shifting on the new Passat VR6 is handled by a standard 6-speed DSG; the dual-clutch transmission is considered the most efficient automatic in the world. This technologically advanced six-speed transmission incorporates an automatic dual-clutch system that instantly engages and disengages gears without the need for a clutch pedal. With a special computer controlling the process, one clutch is engaged on the next gear while the clutch from the previous gear is released. The results are crisp, quick shifts, without the loss of power that is experienced with a traditional manual gearbox.

Premium Features

The Passat will be offered in three trim levels, S, SE and SEL, with a total of 16 equipment levels. All will offer first-in-class safety and comfort.

The Passat's safety features include Volkswagen's advanced Intelligent Crash Response Systems, which initiates automatic safety protections in a collision -- the fuel supply and high consumption electronic equipment shuts off; the doors unlock; the battery terminal disconnects from the alternator cable; the hazard lights switch on.

The Passat also comes with a tire pressure monitoring system, ESP electronic stabilization program, ABS with braking assistant, Hill Climb Assist (with manual transmission), six airbags and an extremely rigid body structure to protect the driver and passengers.

The Passat sets new standards for comfort, with a significantly larger rear seating area, best-in-class rear seat legroom, well-designed controls and superior touring properties.

Other standard features include automatic climate control, power windows all around, air conditioning, insulating glass, a distinctive analog clock at the center of the instrument panel, cruise control, outside temperature display with frost warning, radio-CD system (MP3-capable, plus external audio input) and Bluetooth connectivity.

Premium options include 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels, power seat adjustment, leather, leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel, a touchscreen satellite radio, a choice of Volkswagen's RNS 510 or RNS 315 navigation systems, front fog lights with static cornering lights, wood decor, new ambiance lighting, memory driver's seat, power passenger seat, and keyless access with push button start.

The Passat will also offer the new Fender premium audio system, designed exclusively for Volkswagen. In a partnership that combined quality automotive engineering and quality sound engineering, Volkswagen and Fender teamed up to bring the raw emotion of live music to the driving experience.

Exterior

The Passat's balanced proportions give it a unique, timeless and dominant styling reflecting the "design DNA" developed by Walter de Silva, the Italian design chief for the Volkswagen Group, and Klaus Bischoff, the German design leader for the Volkswagen Brand. The signature clean design, with a predominance of horizontal body elements, reinforces the Passat's position as the sophisticated choice in the midsize segment. The bottom line: this car looks much more expensive than it actually is.

The key identifying feature of a strong brand is the styling of its front end. Here the Passat displays the new horizontal brand face, with the grille and headlights forming a single unit. Unlike models in the compact class, the Passat's grille is sculpted in a three-dimensional shape. Moreover, the grille stands more upright and makes a more distinctive and elegant impression in its stricter geometry.

From the side profile, the muscular ridge in the sill area creates a lively interplay of light reflections. Powerfully sculpted wheel arches emphasize the dynamic properties of the Passat. In the balance of the side profile, the roof lines flow toward the back with a nearly coupe-like cut of the rear window. Three side windows create luxury class style with a long, extended glass surface.

The rear section is also dominated by horizontal lines. The lines of the large taillights rise toward the sides, underscoring the dynamics of the elegant rear styling. Another unique feature here is the design of the two-part taillights (integrated in the rear fender and trunk lid).

Interior

The Passat shows the look of considerably more expensive cars. The new, larger Passat is 191.7 inches long and has a 110.4 inch wheelbase, which translates into a noticeable increase in rear seating space.
Like the exterior, the interior is also marked by a clean and geometric formal structure. Interior styling consistently follows the maxims of functionality. Controls are attractive and easy to operate.

The instrument panel is similar to that of Volkswagen's flagship vehicle, the all-new Touareg. Chrome trimmed gauges surround a digital multifunction display. A high-end chrome look is also applied to the air vents in the cockpit, and to the surrounds of the radio, navigation system and the climate control panels. The rotary light switch and parking brake handle button are also treated in chrome. Except for the base version, all other Passat trims have chrome interior accents on the window, mirror adjustment and trunk opening switches.

The upper and lower instrument areas are visually distinguished by various decorative accents, depending on the equipment version. Decorative elements in "Titan" design are used in the S version; the elegant "Titan Silver Printed" decor is used in the SE version, wood decor "Autumn Nut Burl" is featured in the exclusive SEL version. The accents not only upgrade the instruments, but also the center console as well as the door trim panels.

The seats are exceptionally comfortable. Even in the base version, the driver's seat is adjustable eight ways, including lumbar support.

The new Passat and the all-new Jetta are expected to be the sales leaders in Volkswagen's plan to significantly increase market share in the United States. The company's strategy is built on a broad portfolio of products that offers cars accessible to the majority as well as vehicles for car enthusiasts.

O fim do TSI (turbo+compressor)???

Volkswagen’s twincharger petrol engine could be on its way out, according to well placed insiders.

The company’s 1.4-litre engine, which mixes turbocharging and supercharging, is said to be too complex and expensive to produce.

Instead, VW engineers now believe that new turbocharging technology can achieve similar results at a much-reduced cost.

The popular twincharger engine, found in numerous VW Group models, won the coveted Engine of the Year award in 2009 and 2010 and was described as “a masterstroke of downsizing technology and a real engineering showcase".

A maior parte dos TSI não são exclusivamente turbo?

[bg2]

creio que só o 1,4l é compressor + turbo

[Bj40]

Não é só aos novos modelos..

[dysplay21]

já tentei

[Whisperdancer]

Olha, um a5 com a frente do polo

Olhando para os traços em geral, até o acho mais parecido com o S3 do que com o a5.
Mas pronto, basta dizer que é do grupo que já é igual, e com status, etc...

Já enjoa...

[crash]

A maior parte dos TSI não são exclusivamente turbo?

creio que só o 1,4l é compressor + turbo

sei que o 1.4 nas versões de 140(?), 160, 170 e 180 recorre ao turbo+compressor.

O 2.0 não me recordo se chegou a vir com a mesma tecnologia, mas actualmente sei que é apenas turbo.

A sigla TSI vinha apenas associada a esta tecnologia, mas agora já foi espalhada para tudo o que é sobrealimentado no grupo VW, substituindo a sigla TFSI.

De qualquer forma, acho que é o fim deste mix de hardware, desta tecnologia que só a VW seguiu, criada, não nos esqueçamos, pela Lancia nos anos 80, no seu monstro de grupo B.
A Alfa já mostrou que é possivel eliminar praticamente o lag do turbo, recorrendo a outros meios (vejam o 1.75 do Giulietta QV, não me apetece dissecar agora o assunto), ficando muito mais barato e simples usar apenas um turbo, do que ter também um compressor para compensar nas baixas rpm...

Para boa resposta a baixas rpm's e sobralimentação, parece-me que o grupo Fiat tem soluções mais baratas e eficazes. O 1.75 do Giulietta é um bom exemplo, o Multiair também permite a pujanla necessária lá em baixo, ao controlar os tempos de aberturas das válvulas

[bg2]

o 2l nunca teve compressor

e os novos turbos twin scroll resolvem bem a questão

Nuevas imágenes del VW Jetta europeo

Del Volkswagen Jetta de última generación te hemos contado prácticamente todo, pero nos faltaban una galería de imágenes más completa de la versión definitiva para Europa, algo a lo que ponemos remedio hoy mismo con nuevas fotos añadidas al álbum.

El Jetta ya se encuentra en pre-venta en España y las primeras unidades serán entregadas en marzo. Con precios que oscilan entre los 21.180 € y los 28.030 € -todos los precios-, se situará entre el Golf y Passat con mejores argumentos que antes. Respecto a la versión vendida en Estados Unidos, cambían algunos plásticos del interior y la suspensión trasera, que es multibrazo y garantiza un comportamiento dinámico superior.

El nuevo Jetta ya llega de serie con una buena dotación, pero son los elementos opcionales los que permiten una personalización al gusto. Desde el navegador hasta el techo solar, pasando por los tapizados en piel o diferentes tipos de llantas, el cliente tiene a su disposición un buen número de extras que, eso sí, elevarán rápidamente la factura final.

Más adelante intentaremos realizar una prueba para poder contarte con todo detalle qué tal va, cómo responden sus motores y las impresiones del habitáculo.

Eu não devia dizer isto mas tenho aqui as fotos da próxima geração do golf, passat, eos, jetta, passat cc e phaeton.

Podes postar as do Passat CC? Gostava de ver, para me decidir se me revolto contra a vw ou não

Quando ao Jetta coupe, eu gosto bastante e não vejo porque dizes que é um A5, será por ser coupe???

A traseira pode parecer semelhante, mas é inegável as linhas da vw, os espelhos, a frente nítida e a traseira tem também esses traços.

Imagem de familia tem a porsche em manter o 911 sempre com a mesma forma, a vw e a audi têm copy paste descarado.

Desculpa mas saiu-te um bocado mal essa afirmação...Então a porsche pode "manter" uma imagem de família mas a vw e audi não?

Eu até gosto do Polo, do Golf, da Touareg, a transporter e caddy também ficaram melhores...Mas o Passat não gosto.

Depois, acho que o Eos, Scirocco e Passat CC deviam manter-se "distantes" da restante gama e ter uma cara diferente, pois fogem aos segmentos tradicionais em que a vw compete e merecem algo que os diferencie da restante gama. O Eos já estragaram com este restyling, o Passat CC ainda tenho esperança que não façam borrada, mas ai deles que estraguem o Scirocco

Volskwagen presentará en Qatar la versión de producción de su L1 Concept

¿Recuerdas el L1 Concept? En julio de 2008 dabamos como fecha de lanzamiento comercial finales de 2010, y al final parece que la predicción va a fallar por muy poco, pues según cuentan en varios medios alemanes, el doctor Ferdinand Piech confirmó que en el Salón de Qatar que abrirá sus puertas en la última semana de enero podremos ver la variante de producción.

Equipado con un chasis de carbono y un motor diésel bicilindrico, apoyado por otro eléctrico, su consumo medio irá por debajo del litro y medio de combustible cada 100 kilómetros. Estéticamente será muy similar a los dos conceptos anteriores, lo cual es toda una declaración de intenciones. Tendremos que estar atentos.

Imagina um polo com a traseira do a7 e já está

Quando ao Jetta coupe, eu gosto bastante e não vejo porque dizes que é um A5, será por ser coupe???

Tem semelhanças óbvias com o a5


A traseira pode parecer semelhante, mas é inegável as linhas da vw, os espelhos, a frente nítida e a traseira tem também esses traços.



Desculpa mas saiu-te um bocado mal essa afirmação...Então a porsche pode "manter" uma imagem de família mas a vw e audi não?

Se reparares os lambos são todos "restyles" uns dos outros, aquela tipica forma lamborghini ainda lá está. A meu ver não saiu mal, pois a audi e derivados são marcas generalistas, logo o design deveria ser algo que os diferenciasse os vários modelos e não ajudar a que sejam confundidos.


Depois, acho que o Eos, Scirocco e Passat CC deviam manter-se "distantes" da restante gama e ter uma cara diferente, pois fogem aos segmentos tradicionais em que a vw compete e merecem algo que os diferencie da restante gama.

Não quero ser desmancha prazeres mas temo que o scirocco vai cair na banalidade do resto da gama, o que por sua vez irá fazer com que a procura dos sciroccos actuais aumente bastante.
