2011 VW Club Anniversary

„Hills Road Trip‟ DATE: SUNDAY 16th OCTOBER

MEETING POINT: FAST EDDY‟S CANNINGTON

TIME: 9:00am for a 9:30am sharp departure

Meet at Westfield Shopping Complex off Albany Highway, Cannington near Fast Eddy‟s...park to the south of Fast Eddy‟s near the overhead walkway….there should be plenty of space here to assemble the convoy.

The convoy will depart at 9.30 sharp. If you wish to have breakfast at Fast Eddy‟s, it is recommended that you al-low sufficient time and that you pre-book.

From Cannington, we will drive to Lesmurdie Falls where you can have a leg stretch and walk to the „Falls‟ viewing platform...there are good toilets at the „Falls‟ car park in case you had too many cups of coffee!

From there we will head north through Kalamunda, where there are excellent views to the city and over the coastal plain. After a brief stop to admire the views, we will de-

scend the Zigzag before driving through the orchard country of Bickley and Pickering Brook.

At Pickering Brook we will stop at the Core Cider House at approximately 11.30...they offer tea, coffee and cakes plus cider tasting and the sale of cider and jams etc.

From Pickering Brook there will be a short drive to Myattsfield Vineyards were you can sample wine from their fairly extensive range...this is a small but very suc-cessful winery owned by young winemakers Josh and Rachael Davenport. They have approximately 12 differ-ent wine types, ranging in price from $16 to $32 a bottle.

After Myattsfield we will have a short drive to Fairbrossen Estate where we will have our lunch stop...they have a reasonable choice of dishes including beef and mush-room pie...I will obtain a copy of the lunch menu for the 16th so that we can pre-order prior to our arrival.

Fairbrossen will be the official end of the run so that after lunch you can return home at your leisure.

We look forward to seeing you on the 16th, regards, Da-vid and Louise Beckley, Trip Organisers.

IMPORTANT: In order that we can get some idea of the numbers wishing to participate in this trip, please;

email [email protected] or

phone Ray Willis on 0407347340

by 12th October.



Top Safety Ratings for

Golf Cabriolet and Jetta in

Euro NCAP In the latest round of European NCAP safety testing, the new Golf Cabriolet and the Jetta were awarded top five star ratings for adult, child and pedes-trian protection. This places the two Volkswagens among the safest vehi-cles in their class.

The Golf Cabriolet and the Jetta achieved especially impressive scores in tests for occupant safety at 96 per cent and 94 per cent, respectively. Both vehicles attained top results in all seat positions, regardless of the height of the driver and front passenger. Rat-ing points are awarded based on the results of frontal impact and car-to-car side impact tests as well as a pole side impact test. Not only can adults feel safe in these cars; in both the Jetta and the Golf Cabriolet, maximum safe-ty for children was verified in child oc-cupant protection tests with dummies representing the ages 18 months and three years.

Just as important as occupant protec-tion is the protection of pedestrians in traffic. In the test procedure, accidents with pedestrian children and adults are simulated at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h. In all tested categories, the Jetta had very good results, especially in protection of the lower leg from the bumper. The Golf Cabriolet achieved very good results in head protection for children, since the top of the bonnet can deflect inwards.

The two vehicles also impressed in the “safety assist” area, with very good 71 per cent scores. In this rating category, Euro NCAP not only evaluated seat belt buckling reminders, but also the standard use of vehicle dynamic con-trol systems (ESP). Both systems are standard in the Golf Cabriolet and the Jetta.

Volkswagen Golf Claims

Second Green Car of the Year

Award The Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion has claimed its second What Car? Green Car of the Year accolade. The Golf‟s success was announced at a recent awards ceremony at Battersea Power Station in London, which also played host to this year‟s EcoVelocity low-carbon motor show.

For the second consecutive year, the Golf BlueMotion was named best Green Small Family Car by the What Car? judges. What Car? editor-in-chief Chas Hallett said: „The Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion shows that it is still

possible to be green by simply improving the tech-nology that is already prov-en and available at the moment. The Golf offers a seamless driving experi-ence that is hard to differ-entiate from a regular die-sel Golf. It also has loads of luxury and safety fea-tures.‟

At the heart of the Golf BlueMotion is a 1.6-litre TDI engine, producing 250 Nm of torque from just 1,500 – 2,500 rpm. Its re-markable economy and low emissions – 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle and 99 g/km of CO2 – are achieved through a package of measures which includes a Start/Stop system, low roll-ing resistance tyres, brake energy recuperation, a multi-function display that provides visual gear-shift indicator, and aerodynamic changes.

Collecting the award on behalf of Volkswagen was Head of Group Envi-ronmental Management, Andrew Ban-nister. He said: „I‟m delighted to accept this award on behalf of the Golf. Amid a raft of environmental developments in the industry, the BlueMotion remains one of the most solid performers and sensible choices. It retains all the safe, practical and reliable virtues of the standard Golf model while returning class-leading fuel economy and car-bon dioxide figures. A best-selling fam-ily favourite made even better.‟

BlueMotion is Volkswagen‟s umbrella term for a raft of innovations that help to cut the cost of motoring by making every drop of fuel take you further. In addition to the Golf BlueMotion model is a comprehensive line-up of BlueMo-tion Technology products that use a range of economy measures to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Key to all BlueMotion and BlueMotion

A Trip into the Northern

Wildflower

Country By Rod McSwain

There comes a time when you just have to forget about the housework, the garden, the washing and just pack the car and head off. That was the feeling I had a few weeks ago, but it all depended on some thermo mats for the windows of Smurf arriving from Just Kampers. The arrival of them was well timed, so Karen and I head-ed north along Great Northern Hwy (GNH) in search of the famous West-ern Australian wildflowers on Friday 23rd September.

We packed Smurf on Thursday and left home about 8:30am Friday with the new Waeco fridge, our 15 amp ex-tension chord and whatever else we novices thought was needed for an overnight trip. Apart from the road trip after the Bug-In, this was Smurf‟s first trip and the first time we were to sleep in the Kombi. We confidently headed along Rowe Hwy, around Midland to GNH. The road through the Swan Valley is now a nice new wide 80kph but single lane road. A police car followed us half way to Bullsbrook and from there, we were in open country. 90kph seemed a rea-sonable speed to be able to concentrate on the driving as well as look for flowers. We stopped in Bindoon (1hr 15min) for our first break and visited the information centre. The lady was very informative and loaded us up with maps. I had previously called into the tourist centre in the city, but there wasn‟t much available, which made it a bit difficult trying to plan the trip before we left home. Over the 2 days, we found the local towns had more info, including great local and large scale maps.

We soon found that we were dropping behind time and af-ter making a few detours along back roads (I never stick to the bitumen) and stopping to take lots of photos along Old Plains Rd, so we pushed on and into New Norcia where we again had to have a quick look around. Then we headed further north onto Walebing, Bindi Bindi (to see the wheat train being loaded), Miling, Pithara and Dalwallinu. Again we stopped at the Information centre there as well as paid a visit to the bank – no atm‟s here. I must make mention of the section of highway (goat track) north of leave Bindi Bin-di, is a 9klm section of winding road that is just over 6m wide. For this reason the speed limit is 90kph, meaning you pass heavy traffic and road trains at a terminal speed of 180kph. Apparently the federal government has allocated



funds for an upgrade in 2014 ....that‟s too far away. On the way home we passed a 5.5m wide load and had to pull up and park off the bitumen for it to pass and you could see where trucks had sunk into the muddy road shoulders only days before.

We made camp at the Dalwallinu Caravan Park for $19.25, met the neighbours – well they came to meet us and check out Smurf, then we walked the 750m to the pub for a drink and great country pub meal. Another great past time in the country on a clear night is star gazing and we saw numer-ous planes heading south to Perth too.

People in caravan parks tend to live by daylight, so it was early to bed and early to rise. The morning was fresh and crisp. It was a very comfortable night‟s sleep and the kettle was the first thing on. After more chat with the neighbours and breakfast in the open next to Smurf, we packed up and left about 8:30 again and headed through wheat country east towards the Rabbit Proof Fence. A visit to Xantippe Well revealed how ingenious the pioneers were in the early days. It was a case of building a small wall around a rocky outcrop to collect the runoff water and direct it via a pipe into a large tank. We pushed on and drove along the rabbit proof fence (no more) to discover more wildflowers, some wildlife, a resting place and waterhole for the fence rider, plus an old school (closed in 1956) that has been restored and left for visitors to read all about its history – as long as you closed the blinds, front door and gate when you left.

As it was pushing on lunchtime, we headed north again back to GNH and turned south for the 270klm trip to Wubin, Dalwallinu along GNH back to Perth. We picked up some fresh oranges and mandarins at a roadside stall and there was enough time to unpack Smurf before a light tea and crashing into bed.

It was a pleasant 2 days just breathing the fresh air and smelling the flowers. Both were sunny days and with the contrast of the blue skies, a few wispy clouds, dark green wheat fields and bright yellow canola crops on show, it has inspired us to think about organising a day / overnight run. We may even stay on a farm, so watch this space...



Technology vehicles, however, is that they all remain as practical, comforta-ble and desirable as the standard models on which they are based and are just as easy to service, repair and maintain.

New

Scirocco R Powerful, fast, fuel efficient and clean: The Scirocco R – an impressive per-formance package

The wait is nearly over! The highly anticipated Scirocco R has almost ar-rived. Power: 188kW. Character: gen-uine sports car. Performance: at its fullest. Handling: just like it should be. Fun factor: maximum. The four-seat sports car is ideal as both a dynamic performer and economical companion on the roads of everyday life. Always on-board as standard equipment: the XDL Extended Electronic Differential Lock – first introduced on the Golf GTI – providing optimal traction properties and unbeatable driving fun.

R – CONCEPT The Scirocco R – conceptualised by Volkswagen R GmbH – is an impres-sive performance package with a bril-liant engine and chassis, unique looks, exclusive features and shares a power plant with the impressive Golf R, a

four-cylinder inline turbo direct-injection petrol engine. Its advantages: high power and torque values with minimum fuel consumption. On aver-age, just 8.1 litres* of fuel f lows to the combustion chambers via direct injec-tion per 100 kilometres. That corre-sponds to CO2 emissions of 189 g/km – top values for a fast sports car. And equally as impressive: when driven with the optional Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), these values are 8.2 litres and 192 g/km. * Combined cycle (ADR) 81/02 R – HISTORY – The Scirocco Story As the end of the 1960s approached, so did the end of the golden years of the Volkswagen Beetle. As part of the development of the Golf I, no less a designer than Giorgio Giugiaro drew up a nippy and sporty 2+2 coupé that was presented to the world's public in Geneva in 1973: The Scirocco was born. The Scirocco was the first front-wheel drive coupé from Volkswagen and it appeared in 1974 just ahead of the Golf I. The sports coupé not only offered a sporty alternative to the Golf I, but was also affordable to boot.

Scirocco I (type 53)

Production from March / April 1974 to April 1981

504,153 vehicles

Design: Giugiaro

Development and production: Kar-mann, Osnabrück

Technical basis: Golf I Initial engines 50 / 70 / 85 PS (four-cylinder)

Scirocco II (type 53/2)

Technical basis: Golf I

Production from April 1981 to Septem-ber 1992

291,497 vehicles

Design: Herbert Schäfer (Volkswagen)

Production: Karmann, Osnabrück

Initial engines 60 / 70 / 85 / 110 PS (four-cylinder)

R – DRIVE To attain the very high specific power in the 2.0 TSI (94 kW per litre dis-placement), Volkswagen decided on a turbocharged petrol direct-injection engine.

More dynamic performance by clever downsizing: Like all TSI engines, the R-version combines the efficiency of direct-injection with the power of turbocharg-ing. The 1,984 cm 16-valve, four-cylinder engine develops a maximum power of 188 kW at 6,000 rpm. Its maximum torque – a hefty 330 New-ton meters – is available over an im-mense range of engine speed: 2,500 to 5,000 rpm. This makes for agile responsiveness of the engine, which is able to summon torque at practically any speed range. The engine‟s acous-tic output impressively underscores its special kind of power development. The exhaust system itself is designed as a double-flow system. Dual oval chrome tailpipes extend out from the bumper.

Engine of the Year for the Scirocco R: The in-line four-cylinder, which has

(Continued from page 8)




already earned four “Engine of the Year” awards, builds up its powerful torque via a turbocharger (up to 1.2 bar boost pressure) with intercooling. The engine is controlled by fully elec-tronic engine management with E-gas. The pistons of the four-cylinder have higher strength bolts. The connecting rods were also designed to be stronger to reliably transmit the engine‟s high torque to the crankshaft. The cylinder block itself is reinforced due to the tre-mendous engine forces that are gener-ated.

All of this has a highly dynamic effect: The lightweight 1,351 kilogram (DSG - 1371 kg) Scirocco R offers dynamic performance. It is precisely this type of driving, with the sensation of a build-up to maximum torque that is “felt” right from idling, which distinguishes this sports car. It is an impressive cruiser for every road and day of the year. Yet, those drivers who downshift and unleash the car‟s power at full throttle awaken a second side of the Scirocco R: a car with motor sport DNA that sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. Top speed: electronically limited to 250 km/h (at 6,320 rpm).

Also available with an optional dual clutch transmission (DSG) providing an even faster sprinting Scirocco R: the 100 km/h mark drops down to 6.0 seconds. As is so often the case with a DSG, gains in dynamic performance (and comfort) are by no means pur-chased at the expense of fuel efficien-cy or emissions.

R – CHASSIS The Scirocco R is available with a spe-cially tuned sport chassis and XDL (Extended Electronic Differential Lock) as standard equipment. The latter re-fers to a functional extension of the electronic differential lock (EDL) that is integrated in the ESP system and lim-its any type of traction loss.

XDL compensates for understeer: As soon as the intelligent electronics detects unloading of the front wheel at the inside of a curve in fast driving, the ESP hydraulics apply braking pressure at the specific wheel to restore optimal traction. So, XDL serves as a trans-verse differential lock to compensate for the typical understeer of front-wheel drive cars in fast cornering. The driving behaviour of the agile Scirocco R is made significantly more precise and neutral thanks to the sophisticated XDL.

Chassis layout: In front, the Scirocco R has a Mac-Pherson strut type suspension for pre-cise tracking and balanced comfort properties. In the rear, a four-link sus-pension convincingly meets the chal-lenge of achieving a sporty yet com-fortable chassis tuning.

Adaptive Chassis Control optimally resolves the dilemma between comfort and dynamics: The Scirocco R is fitted with Volkswagen‟s innovative Adaptive Chassis Control as standard equip-ment. This system continually adjusts damping of individual wheels to road-way conditions based on signals from three body sensors and displacement sensors at each wheel.

During acceleration, braking and steer-ing processes, chassis damping is stiffened in fractions of a second to optimally meet the vehicles dynamic requirements. By making these auto-matic adjustments, Adaptive Chassis Control significantly increases driver comfort in situations where dynamics are less challenging, resolving the conf lict in goals between a stiff sporty tun-ing and a comfortable one. Besides the “Normal” mode, the driver can also choose the “Sport” or “Comfort” mode.

R-wheel styling: Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels (“Talladega” type) with size 235/35 R19 tyres. This wheel/tyre combination supports the maximum attainable lateral vehicle dynamics of this unforgettable sports car.

Advanced braking system for maxi-mum deceleration: The braking system has been specifi-cally designed to handle the Scirocco R‟s higher level of driving perfor-mance. That is why a 17-inch system is used; this enables impressive brak-ing performance with ventilated discs and R-specific brake calipers painted in glossy black on all four brakes. In front, the discs are vented and have a diameter of 345 mm x 30mm, in the rear; brakes are measured at 310mm x 22mm. The Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) has also been exclu-sively designed for this vehicle. A “Sport” mode can be selected by pressing the ESP button located in the centre console. This makes the ESP respond later in very fast driving on roads with lots of curves – e.g. on a race course – for even more agile han-dling properties. In parallel, Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) is completely deac-tivated when ESP “Sport” mode is se-lected.

The electro-mechanical power steering of the Scirocco R was also specifically tuned for this model. Safety equipment fitted as standard: Six airbags, side impact protection in the door, front safety optimised head restraints, front seat belts with preten-tions and belt force limiters, ABS and EBD, Hill Start Assist and ASR.

R – DESIGN Front end with LED daytime running lights: The front end design reflects the motto “form follows function”; it integrates three large air inlets with large louvres in the bumper customised for the Sci-





I could combine my passions -

Volkswagens & Photography! By Jamie Barrett (new VW Club WA President)

I purchased my digital camera about two years ago and was very happy snap-ping away taking pictures of my Dog and cars at shows. I taught myself how to take certain pictures - I would get an idea of what I wanted to achieve then I would experiment and work out how to do it. "Depth of field, aperture, ISO" etc. were all new terms to me.

I was asked by a friend "what are you into?" - "what type of pics do you enjoy taking?" I had taken pictures in the dark with a very long exposure and was amazed with the results. My friend pointed in the direction of a photographer called Troy Paiva. He uses coloured lights to "Paint" his subjects.


In this shot the light comes from a few sources, an orange led in the car (assisted with a flash of geled speedlite, 1 to 2 seconds of a super bright led used to light the car, red laser shot at the headlights for about 40 secs each (and all over the ground if you look closely) Then the fun stuff "EL wire" you can buy this stuff on eBay for about $10 I used the 7.5 foot lengths. I ran around keeping it as low to the ground as possi-ble "wiggling" it around trying to remem-ber were I have covered.

No photoshot was used at all. I some-times crop pictures but that is about it.. My personal challenge is to get the shot out of the camera as is.

Another angle of this beautiful old girl left out in the elements in Perth hills. Not much left of her. Used about 20 leds placed around and in the cab (green & white) approx. 30 sec exposure.

Dead dub out in the bush took this shot in the pitch black of night using my powerful led bike light as the source. the paint looks awesome to me, you could not recreate that aged look. She is a 1950's model Single Cab Split screen.



VWars IV Went all out with the Sa-bres on this one, jumped around energetically to get this one. Red LED inside and the kombis lights on

As I am a pretty busy with work commit-ments, taking pictures at night suited me. I set to work immediately this gave me great inspiration I could combine my passions Volkswagens and photog-raphy!

Many people in the scene have been keen for me take pictures of their vehi-cles, they get involved and excited when they see what is possible. They start running around with torches, coloured leds etc. It can be tiring as you have to move pretty fast in some cases. Anyone can have a go. You do need to be able to set your camera on a long exposure between 10 seconds and 3 minutes. Some shots that I have taken have been as long as 7 minutes.

The hardest thing I find when taking night shots is focusing, like in this situa-tion where it was pitch black. There are two main ways I get focus - one being knowing the lens and judging the dis-tance using manual focus or two lighting the subject as much as possible with autofocus on taking a test then flicking the focus to manual before it adjusts. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. I am always on the lookout for new locations and vehicles to light up.


Andy THM Out trying some different techniques tonight Andy was kind enough to let me boss him around moving the car here and there and hold this n that. I feel we got some good shots tonight this one is up first so I can proudly add Andy to The Hills mafia collec-tion over on the forum! Cheers Andy nice car mate.

rocco R, which engineers designed for optimal cooling of the brakes and en-gine. Integrated to the right and left of the outboard air inlets are the stand-ard LED daytime running lights. The narrow, unique radiator grille is styled in a high-end glossy black. Here (as on the rear gate) the Scirocco R can be identified by the R-logo design in chrome on a black background. Meanwhile, provid-ing for the perfect illumination of the roadway, are standard Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated indicator lights.

Rear end with double-flow exhaust system: The rear image of this car is dominat-ed by a considerably larger roof edge spoiler and a prominent glossy black diffuser in the lower bumper area that shows typical R-styling. Both of these components – diffuser and roof edge spoiler – reduce aerodynamic lift at the rear axle. Stylistically, the oval chrome tailpipes of the double-flow exhaust system are harmoniously inte-grated into the overall rear section design. In addition, the rear lights of the Scirocco R are smoke tinted. The Scirocco R also comes with rear park-ing distance sensor as standard.

Side profile: The side view is characterised by powerfully styled side skirts painted in body colour as well as “Talladega”

style alloy R-wheels in 19-inch format. The milled, polished wheels have five sets of three spokes that are visually unique and offer a very attractive look at the large braking system with its glossy black calipers and Rlogo. Like the brake calipers, the outside mirrors of the Scirocco R are always painted a glossy black, independent of the body colour.

R – INTERIOR The interior of the Scirocco R presents an altogether refined appearance. As is typical of all R-models, special inte-rior accents, sport seats and numer-ous other dynamic features are ap-plied, and included as standard equip-ment. Details of the features of the Scirocco R:

IAA 2011: New VWs for Today

and for the World of

Tomorrow!

At the 64th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt (15 to 25 Septem-ber), Volkswagen is presenting – alongside the new up! that is the show highlight – a tremendous assortment of new car concepts and models. Mak-ing world debuts are the Beetle R Concept, Beetle Fender, Polo R-Line, Tiguan R-Line, Golf Cabriolet Exclu-sive and the Phaeton Exclusive Con-cept. And that is just the beginning: another car making its world debut on the Frankfurt stage is the single-seat electric vehicle concept car NILS – a car for the world of tomorrow. Mean-while, the Polo R WRC illustrates how motorsport cars are progressing at Volkswagen.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is also represented with its latest range of successful models. Highlights here include debuts of the Caddy Edition 30 and the Amarok with automatic gear-box. Another show highlight is the ex-tremely fuel-efficient Multivan BlueMo-tion.

Volkswagen Zubehör (Accessories) completes the company‟s product line-up with new and innovative original accessories and lifestyle-related prod-ucts. Being presented for the first time in Frankfurt are accessories collec-tions for the Beetle and the new up!. An overview of new concepts and models from Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles:

NILS Electric vehicle for commuters: NILS travels like an arrow into the urban future Lightweight 460 kg single-seater with electric drive was specially designed for commuters NILS research project is supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport Volkswagen AG is presenting a car for the urban world of tomorrow at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA): NILS. The single-seat electric vehicle reflects a new, fascinating form of minimalist mobility. The con-cept car – with its progressive alumini-um space frame, wing doors and free-standing wheels – exhibits a high level of dynamic performance, yet travels with zero emissions and silently to-wards the future. The project is sup-ported by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban De-velopment.

Technically realistic and economically feasible. “NILS is a vehicle that antici-pates the future. It looks as though someone has projected it back from the year 2030 to the world of today. This study melds sustainability, design and lifestyle in a new way. A high-tech vehicle from the Volkswagen company with an electric drive, but very realisti-

cally conceptualised,” says Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, member of the Board of Management and Head of Develop-ment for the Volkswagen Brand. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Leohold, Director of Volkswagen Group Research explains the project from the research perspec-tive: “In the context of the growing in-fluence of electric mobility, cutting edge vehicle concepts like these – which are based on intensive analyses of future and vehicle research and on strong networking ties to Marketing – will play an increasingly important role. That is because new, very target group specific requirements will be placed on cars with the advent of elec-tric mobility. These new vehicle con-cepts – together with the electrification of existing models – will help to ad-vance electric mobility to a break-through.” In this context, Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg explains further: “The goal of the NILS project is to work out a technically concrete and economi-cally feasible vehicle concept for micro-mobility, which restructures individual transportation to make it more efficient and environmentally compatible based on electric drive technology.” Prof. Dr. Jürgen Leohold adds: “Therefore, Group Research intensively analysed all facets of commuter transportation with the goal of making it sustainable for the future. The results of these analyses were made available to indi-vidual vehicle development depart-ments. And so, all of the company‟s brands – from A for Audi to V for Volkswagen – are benefiting from the think tank of Group Research.” Networked know-how. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg comments: “The close cooperation with Group Research has meant that we at Volkswagen are real-ly able to put cutting-edge vehicle pro-jects in motion. We benefit from the networked know-how of the company here. This also includes the Volkswagen Design Centre in Pots-dam. There, under the leadership of Thomas Ingenlath, an entirely new interpretation of Volkswagen design was accomplished in NILS. Those viewing this concept car can look far into the future of our brand and of the automobile itself. NILS is anything but a dry-run exercise; it is very realistic. Despite its compact dimensions, the concept fulfils all safety requirements for contemporary vehicles, for exam-ple. Commuters would not only drive





in an eco-friendly way, but would also be very safe in this car.”

With a range of 65 kilometres, the 130 km/h NILS would certainly be the ideal vehicle for the majority of commuters in Germany. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, 73.9 per cent of all commuters residing be-tween Berlin and Munich cover less than 25 kilometres on their way to work. So, NILS is designed to be a reflection of a new era.

NILS defines new segment Electric traction changes mobility. Au-tomobiles have always been mirrors of the times with their design styles and technological standards reflecting the status quo of a particular era. Consid-er Volkswagen: at the turn of the cen-tury, the age of downsizing gained momentum in the powertrain area. At the same time, a new quality of styling took hold, which today is still marked by maximum clarity and precision. Currently, we are experiencing yet another developmental thrust: the long-term breakthrough of electric traction. Many Group models in the higher ve-hicle classes are already available with hybrid drives, where the electric motor supports the conventional drive system. This emissions-reducing drive technology is now breaking into high-volume segments.

Golf with E-drive debuts in 2013. The first high-volume models with a pure electric drive will soon reach produc-tion readiness; the Golf, the best-selling car in the world, will debut with

an electric drive (Blue-e-Motion) in 2013. In addition, electric traction will lead to entirely new concepts; they will result in vehicles that fulfil specific needs profiles more than ever. One of these needs profiles is that of com-muters who commute to their jobs in their millions every day in the world‟s urban areas. For a long time now, public transportation has not always been the first choice of commuters for various reasons. In Germany, for ex-ample, about 60 per cent of all com-muters travel by car according to the Federal Statistical Office; of these, over 90 per cent travel alone. Zero emissions vehicles like NILS will offer these frequent drivers a new eco-friendly mobility solution.

NILS leaves a small footprint in traffic Narrower, lower, shorter, different. The concept is a very compact car that requires extremely little space in traffic. NILS is only 3.04 metres long, making it about 50 cm shorter than the new Volkswagen up! model. The width of the NILS, from wheel to wheel, is 1.39 metres; the body itself measures only 0.86 metres wide. The concept car is 1.2 metres tall. By means of comparison: a Porsche 911 is taller at 1.31 metres.

Design was created in Potsdam. More important than its dimensions is the layout of its body. NILS shares the same basic body layout as a Formula-1 race car: driver in the middle, engine in back, aluminium wheels outboard and free-standing. The 17-inch alloy wheels are equipped with 115/80 (front) and 125/80 (rear) tyres opti-mised for low rolling resistance. The clean, distinctive styling of the NILS

car has its origins at the Volkswagen Design Centre in Potsdam. Designer Thomas Ingenlath, the centre‟s direc-tor, comments on the research vehi-cle: “NILS was designed to make a visual statement and transport a vision of the automotive future to the pre-sent. The car had to visually highlight the theme of sustainability, while showing a future-oriented look and simply being fun. I think that we have successfully integrated both of these aspects. Although our mission here was to come up with an entirely new body concept for the brand, NILS matches the Volkswagen design DNA 1:1.” Consider the bumpers: it is no coincidence that they remind one of the bumpers on the new up! with their black borders around the impact sur-faces. Thomas Ingenlath continues: “I am especially pleased that we man-aged to implement the concept of the 2 glass wing doors. This allowed us to create large transparent surfaces and simultaneously make entering and exiting the vehicle very comfortable, even in the most cramped of parking spaces.”

NILS is tailored to commuting distanc-es 65 km and 130 km/h. Although, or even because, NILS is so compact and lightweight (460 kg), it is a lot of fun to drive. It is an agile car with a top speed of 130 km/h, and it can acceler-ate to 100 km/h in less than 11 se-conds. This is accomplished by an electric motor with a reasonably small 15 kW nominal power and short-term peak power of 25 kW. A lithium-ion battery supplies the electric motor with energy. The battery capacity (5.3 kWh) enables driving ranges of up to 65 km, depending on the style of driv-ing. A battery of this size is relatively inexpensive, and its capacity is suffi-cient for this type of car. The research vehicle can be charged either via a conventional 230 Volt electrical outlet (maximum charging time 2 hours) or at an electric vehicle charging station. The plug port is located at the back underneath the rear lighting module.

Electric motor is a lightweight 19 kg. In setting up the electric drive system, engineers made use of the great wealth of experience Volkswagen has acquired in developing other concept cars such as the L1 and XL1 as well as future production vehicles like the Golf Blue-e-Motion or up! Blue-e-Motion. The centrepiece of the drive





unit is the lightweight 19 kg electric motor together with its transmission and battery. Energy management is via a high-voltage pulse inverter, which – together with the 12 Volt DC/DC converter for the vehicle electrical system and the charger – forms an integral drive unit. It is the rear axle that is driven. All drive unit compo-nents are located compactly in an alu-minium housing. The unit, including the drive shafts, is integrated at the rear of NILS.

Space for shopping. The motor, bat-tery and all other components are so compact in their construction that there is still space for a small but prac-tical boot space above the drive unit. As on the Golf, for example, the bootlid is unlocked via the VW logo; in this case, the body-coloured area above the rear lighting module swings upwards. The space is laid out so that users can conveniently stow items from a classic shopping trip – a case of drinks and a bag, for example.

NILS is sporty and agile Optimal weight distribution. With a vehicle like NILS, the customer target group would not only commute to work with zero emissions, but as described would also have a lot of fun doing it. That is because the lightweight NILS drives like a sports car with its pure mechanical steering and centrally po-sitioned shell seat; from a standstill, the electric motor produces a maxi-mum torque of 130 Nm, which is transferred to the rear axle via a one-speed transmission. For wheel control

and suspension, there are double-wishbone suspensions front and rear; the ESP electronic stabilisation pro-gramme ensures that with all of its agile performance, NILS will still stay on course. The car‟s very good weight distribution between the front and rear axles contributes towards the ESP having to do as little as possible.

NILS brakes and accelerates automat-ically upon request Innovative City Emergency Braking. Another important electronic assistant in NILS is City Emergency Braking. The continually active system uses a laser sensor (in the front VW logo) to detect the risk of an imminent colli-sion, and at that moment it automati-cally brakes the car. Depending on the car‟s speed and the driving situation, City Emergency Braking can reduce the speed at impact and might even prevent an accident.

Automatic Distance Control. City Emergency Braking is a software ex-tension of the automatic distance con-trol system (ACC). Its full range of functionality is available in NILS. The ACC system also uses a laser sensor to measure the distance and relative speed to the vehicle ahead in traffic – parameters to which NILS automati-cally adjusts its speed. Beforehand, the driver preselects the desired fol-lowing distance and vehicle speed, similar to a cruise control system. The automatic distance control system has intuitive controls with 3 new multifunc-tion keys in the steering wheel. Two arrow keys are used to vary the vehi-cle speed (in open driving) and the distance to the vehicle in front. Anoth-er key between the 2 arrow keys is used to activate or deactivate the ACC

system. The system itself can be used over the entire speed range of NILS; in addition, the system can even auto-matically brake the car to a stop, de-pending on the situation. Not only are the four disc brakes used to brake; electric traction by electric motor and battery regeneration can be used to brake as well, depending on the driv-ing situation. Last but not least, Front Assist is integrated in the ACC sys-tem. This continually active system warns the driver of a potential colli-sion; at speeds below 30 km/h, auto-matic braking can avoid a collision under some circumstances.

Digital instruments TFT display as instrument cluster. The instrument cluster was tailored to the electric vehicle. The main feature here is a 7-inch TFT display. The vehicle‟s speed is shown digitally in the middle. Energy flow is visually represented by bar elements. Another graphic display offers information on the driving range.

Clever touchscreen. The second cen-tral instrument is a mobile multifunc-tional system like the one used in a similar form in the new up!: the Porta-ble Infotainment Device (PID). It is snapped onto the A-pillar to the right of the instrument cluster. Via touchscreen, the driver controls func-tions related to “Navigation”, “Radio”, “Media”, “Telephone”, “Trip computer” and – to preconfigure the driving range – “Eco”. At the start of the drive, the PID computes the expected driv-ing range, then it not only displays the route on the map display, but also the radius and thereby the destinations that can be reached using the current battery charge.

Simple where it makes sense. To save on weight and costs, certain functional elements and controls are operated without electrical assistance. The side mirrors, for example, are adjusted manually, which is not really an incon-venience in an interior that is only 0.61 metre wide. There is no power assis-tance for steering either; however, this is no problem on a vehicle weighing less than 500 kg. Meanwhile, the heat-ing and ventilation system has fully electronic control. The driver sets the temperature and blower setting via 2 controls in the form of electronic slid-ers; 2 additional sliders are used for the ventilation flap position (air flow direction) and seat heating. Located to the right of the steering column is the





motor start-stop switch; this round, handy switch is also used to select the position of the single-speed transmis-sion (D, N or R).

NILS relies on aluminium space frame body Safe like a big car. The alumini-um space frame body was designed to be a highly effective safety cell. The body-in-white – i.e. the basic structure without add-on parts or glass – is pro-duced from extruded aluminium parts, cast aluminium and sheet aluminium. The roof frame, together with the wing door mounts, a sturdy roll bar behind the driver, the boot space and the front bulkhead consist of high-strength sheet aluminium. Also extremely stur-dy are the extruded aluminium parts; they are used in the area of the side sills, the transverse profiles and the crash-optimised longitudinal profiles (front and rear car sections). The housings for the drive unit and other elements consist of cast aluminium parts. All add-on body parts are made of plastic and aluminium. The front and rear side body parts are manufac-tured in aluminium. Parts made of high-strength plastic include the bumpers and the trim panels on the side sills.

Wing doors from 3 parts. The 2 wing doors are a work of art in their manu-facture. Their frames consist of 3 main elements: an inner section, a crash reinforcement section and an exterior part. When they are closed, they offer optimal crash safety. The door win-dows are made of lightweight, scratch-resistant, layered polycarbonate. The front window is made of laminated

safety glass.

See and be seen. Xenon and LED elements are used for the headlights, rear lights and indicators. In front, 2 bi-xenon modules handle the job of the dipped and main beam headlights. The indicator lights and daytime run-ning lights are implemented as white and yellow LEDs. The daytime running lights are mounted on the front wheel trim panels, and these lights also serve as position lights for parking. In the acrylic glass of the rear lights – which are integrated in the rear sec-tion like small wings – the light gener-ated by LEDs is routed via transparent semiconductors. Their electrical power consumption? Minimal. Which is just what you need with an electric vehicle.

Beetle R Concept The Beetle as sports car: World debut of the design study Beetle R Concept

Beetle R Concept has customised front and rear sections and 20-inch wheels Sport seat system of Beetle R Con-cept is upholstered in luxurious

Nappa leather

At Volkswagen, the letter “R” as an added identifier promises top-notch performance. Currently, this claim is being validated with turbo pressure by the Golf R (199 kW / 270 PS) and Sci-rocco R (195 kW / 265 PS). In a world debut at the IAA, Volkswagen is now showing a third variation of this sporty theme: the Beetle R Concept. It is based on the 21st Century Beetle. Like the Golf R and Scirocco R, the R version of the Beetle was also created at Volkswagen subsidiary Volkswagen R GmbH located near to Wolfsburg. The Beetle R Concept is still a design study. Those who are familiar with the Beetle 2.0 TSI (147 kW / 200 PS) know the dynamic potential of this new car. As an “R”, the Beetle could demonstrate a performance potential similar to that of the Golf R and Sci-rocco R.

Exterior with 20-inch wheels Visually, the Beetle R Concept, paint-ed in “Serious Grey”, offers a glimpse of what a production version might look like. Outside, the concept is equipped with 20-inch “Talladega” al-loy wheels – the same design used on the Golf R and Scirocco R. However, 18- and 19-inch wheels are mounted on those cars. Easy to spot on the Beetle‟s wheels, which feature 5 triple spokes, are the blue brake callipers in R design.





Newly sculpted bumpers are wider Designers completely redesigned the front and rear bumpers that were wid-ened by 30 mm. In front, the bumper module practically consists of 3 air intakes, which are styled in contrasting “Black High Gloss”. The middle air intake supplies the engine with oxy-gen, while the outer two contribute to cooling the brakes. The front spoiler, also painted in “Black High Gloss”, is designed as a flat splitter (with a chrome strip); splitters of this kind are typically used in motorsport. To main-tain temperature regulation of the en-gine within an optimal range, even under extreme conditions, ventilation slots are found on the right and left sides of the engine bonnet.

The rear bumper also has air slots – air exhaust vents – that are integrated in the aerodynamic concept of the Beetle R Concept. There is also a dif-fuser that is integrated in the lower bumper area. Together with the rear spoiler – which is significantly larger than the production models with up to 200 PS in power – and its black trail-ing edge, ideal down force values are attained at the rear axle. A visual and acoustic highlight is the exhaust sys-tem with its 2 sets of dual chrome tail-pipes.

On each side, the bumpers transition into the free-standing wings; they were also widened: 15 mm per side. The side sills are styled in “Black High Gloss”; a high-end chrome trim strip is incorporated here. Also painted in

“Black High Gloss” is the roof, the up-per part of the boot lid connecting to it, the door mirror housings and door handles.

Interior with Nappa leather sport seat system As is usual on R models, the interior also makes a customised and sporty impression. In the front, the driver and passenger sit in motorsport shell seats with what are referred to as Ergopads made of grey nubuck leather. The seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather. Embossed on the seats is the R logo. The seat seams and piping are in the colour “Space Blue”.

The contrast colour “Black High Gloss” that was already used on the exterior is used in the interior as well, such as for dashboard accents and decorative elements around the gear shift grip. Interior designers also styled the in-struments to be R-specific. The central instrument cluster (tachometer in the middle, in the style of a sports car) and the auxiliary instruments laid out above the centre console are both modified here. The door sill plates are upgraded with the R logo. Meanwhile,

brushed aluminium is used for all pe-dal caps. Matching the seats with their blue piping are the fabric floor mats with their blue-black double borders.

Beetle Fender Let the music play! Legendary USA company Fender inspires Beetle designers and engi-neers Beetle Fender pays tribute to a leg-endary brand of guitars from the USA An electric guitar can be connected to subwoofer of the Fender sound system The Beetle is the first car in Europe that can be ordered with a sound sys-tem by the guitar and amplifier produc-er Fender. Now, at the IAA, Volkswagen is presenting a concept car that can be interpreted as a tribute to the legendary US company: the exclusive Beetle Fender with a cus-tomised look and features such as a sound system interface for connecting the electric guitar.

19-inch wheels and leather coated roof Outside, the Beetle Fender is painted in a high-gloss “Black”, while a fine red line frames the side windows; another line in this style is used on an electric guitar customised by Volkswagen De-sign – a Fender Telecaster.

Chrome and aluminium also influence the look of the Beetle Fender. De-signed in chrome are the door mirror caps, door handles, the trim strip be-neath the side windows, accents in the side sills, VW badge and the 2 tail-pipes of the exhaust system arranged as they were earlier on the Beetle. Produced from machine-polished alu-minium are the caps and rings of a 19-inch version of the “Circle” alloy wheels. The basic structure of the wheel is in red. Track width extensions on the rear axle shift each of the





wheels 10 mm outwards. Compared to the production version, the Beetle Fender‟s ride height was lowered ap-proximately 30 mm; this lets the wheel-tyre combination fill out the wheel housings more fully. Two other small but fine details: a guitar pick decal on the bonnet and the original Fender signature (in chrome) located beneath the VW badge on the bootlid.

Interior with dash pad in electric guitar style The interior is also exceptionally well appointed. Eye-catching is the dash pad implemented in “Sunburst” – the two-tone wood design pattern of many Fender guitars. This instrument bar extending across the dashboard in front of the driver and passenger also creates a visual link to the world of rock music.

A high-end audio system sends music into the passenger compartment over a Fender sound system with an auxil-iary tube amplifier. It has a prominent visual presence at the top of the dash-board. A cool solution: thanks to a special socket in the boot space, an electric guitar can be plugged in; its sound plays over the subwoofer that is also integrated in the boot.

The Fender system is controlled from the control panel of the RNS 510 radio-navigation system (which comes with a touchscreen and integrated 30-GB hard drive). Like the rotary knob of the RNS 510, the controls for the climate control system (temperature, air condi-tioning function, rear window defrost and seat heating) were redesigned. The light-coloured metallic controls now look like those that have been used for decades on guitar and bass amplifiers; in the Beetle Fender the controls are executed in the high-end precision that is typical of Volkswagen. A similarly designed metallic control is also used for mirror adjustment. An-other feature uncompromisingly tai-lored to musicians: a pick holder to the right of the DSG gear shift lever. The holder comes with 3 picks on which the outline of the Beetle is imprinted. Moreover, the stretch band across the door storage bin features the Fender signature. Although the Beetle Fender is still a concept car, “Fender Sound” can be ordered in the Beetle.

Fender sound system with ambience

lighting Those who choose the sound system also get ambience lighting for the inte-rior in 3 colours (red, white, blue). Along with indirect lighting in the door shoulder panels, there are also light rings around the loudspeaker boxes in the doors. The sound system itself has 2 sets of tweeters – one set in the mir-ror triangles in front and one set mounted in the rear trim panels; they are equipped with neodymium mag-nets and fabric domes. In the front doors, there are woofers with dual voice coils, while the woofers located in the rear side trim each have a sin-gle voice coil. In addition, a subwoofer with a dual voice coil is integrated in an enclosed bass box in the Beetle‟s boot. The centrepiece of the sound system is a 10-channel amplifier with Class A/B power amplifiers and 400 Watts of output power.

Polo R-Line First Polo with R-Line features: New bumpers and sport seat sys-tem New Polo R-Line will arrive on the market at the end of this year Range of engine options available In 2011, the Polo continues to be the bestselling car in its class in Germany. In the overall ranking of all new car registrations in Germany, it holds 3rd place after the Golf (1st) and the

Passat (2nd). It should be noted that this is not just a Volkswagen list, ra-ther it is a ranking covering all cars sold in Germany. Across Europe the Polo holds 3rd place in new car regis-trations. A genuine bestseller, which has long been on roads across the globe – in China as well as in Russia, Japan and Australia. Now Volkswagen is presenting the new Polo R-Line in a world debut, extending the R-line fami-ly of cars (Golf, Scirocco, Passat CC and Touareg). This is the first time that Volkswagen has designed such a ver-sion of the Polo. Yet, it is fully in keep-ing with the agile character of the cur-rent generation of the Polo model. The Polo R-Line can be ordered with near-ly any engine variant. Market launch of the Polo with the new equipment pack will be at the end of this year.

Exterior offers new bumpers and roof edge spoiler Outside, the extended standard equip-ment of the Polo R-Line includes 16-inch “Mallory” alloy wheels, a radiator grille painted in high-gloss black (with R-Line badge), a specially designed sporty R-line bumper (in the specific body colour; rear bumper has a dis-tinctive diffuser), chrome tailpipes for the exhaust system, body-coloured roof edge spoiler, R-line side sills also in body colour, daytime running lights (integrated under a chrome band in the main headlights), fog lights (in the front spoiler) and LED licence plate illumination. Available upon request: a sports chassis, which lowers the car into the dampers by 15 mm.

Interior has sport seats and black roof-liner Inside, the Polo R-Line resembles the





GTI with its sport seats. The rear and front seats are upholstered with high-end “Kyalami” fabric (or optional Al-cantara/leather look); the inner surfac-es of the lateral seat supports (front) are made of “San Remo” microfibre fabric. Worked into the front head re-straints is the R-Line logo. Also stand-ard: the black roofliner, leather steer-ing wheel with aluminium decor and R-Line badge (chrome signature on black background), accents in high-gloss black, pedal caps with alumini-um look and door sill plates with R-Line signature.

IAA vehicle with special body colour and 17-inch wheels Incidentally, the Polo R-Line being presented at the IAA is equipped with the 17-inch version of the “Mallory” alloy wheels and is painted in a spe-cial colour that is not yet offered: “Fire Spark”. The Polo R-Line can be or-dered in the following colours: “Deep Black Pearl Effect”, “Reflex Silver Me-tallic”, “Pepper Grey Metallic”, “Shadow Blue Metallic”, “Hot Orange Metallic”, “Candy White” and “Flash Red”.

Tiguan R-Line Comeback of an R-Line bestseller: New generation of the Tiguan R-Line will launch in 2012 Most successful German SUV with 19-inch wheels and front sport seats Tiguan R-Line can be delivered with

any engine

Since its initial launch, the Tiguan has remained the uncontested market leader in Germany. The Tiguan – which was significantly improved both visually and technically this year – has for a long time been a globally suc-cessful model, because it unites the advantages of a compact SUV (high seat position, rugged overall concept, impressive styling, spacious interior) with the properties of modern passen-ger cars – including very safe driving properties and extremely efficient TDI and TSI engines. Now, this total pack-age is once again available as an R-Line version, but in the latest genera-tion Tiguan. The Tiguan R-Line cele-brates its world debut at the IAA in Frankfurt. The sporty SUV will launch on the German market at the begin-ning of next year. The Tiguan R-Line is based on the “Sport & Style” ver-sion.

19-inch alloy wheels are standard Outside, the Tiguan R-Line can be recognised by its 19-inch alloy wheels, bumper in R design, R-Line badge on the radiator grille, a rear diffuser with black ribs and an R design rear spoiler in body colour. In addition, the door add-on parts are painted in body col-our and are trimmed with chrome ac-cents. The wheel well flares are in sporty black.

Front sport seats are required equip-ment in the R-Line. Key interior fea-tures of the R-line include a sport seat system – like the one also found in the new Tiguan R-Line. The seat system is upholstered in the exclusive, sporty “Kyalami” style fabric as standard, but it may also be ordered in “Vienna” leather as an option. The sporty Volkswagen‟s most prominent brand

symbol is the R-Line logo worked into the head restraints; it is also found on the multifunction steering wheel with its aluminium decor. Last but not least, other interior features are the pedals in stainless steel, aluminium door sill plates in front with R-Line logo, and – for the first time in the Tiguan R-Line – a black roofliner.

Golf Cabriolet Exclusive Open-top flagship: Golf Cabriolet Exclusive debuts for summer 2012 Most luxurious convertible Golf with sport seat system in “Nappa Cool Leather” Optional 18-inch “Charleston” alloy

wheels

This summer, the new Golf Cabriolet was launched onto the market. A four-seater with an electrically activated soft top, a boot with enough space for long trips and all of the practical and technical traits that have made the Golf the most successful car in the world. Now, at the IAA, Volkswagen is presenting the Golf Cabriolet Exclu-sive as the new top model of the con-vertible line-up. The Golf Cabriolet is the fifth Volkswagen (after the Golf Variant, Eos, Passat CC and Touareg) to be launched in the sophisticated Exclusive version (conceptualised by Volkswagen R GmbH). And it will hap-pen at the beginning of 2012.

Two-tone sport leather seat system in “Nappa Cool Leather” Distinguishing the Golf Cabriolet Ex-clusive are its 17-inch “Salamanca” alloy wheels; also available as an op-tion are 18-inch “Charleston” alloy wheels. Inside, the Volkswagen is equipped with a sport leather seat sys-tem in innovative “Nappa Cool Leath-er”, which is designed in the colour combination “Pepper Beige / Titan Black”. “Cool Leather” is especially ideal for cabriolets, because it absorbs much less heat.

Designed in the same colour combina-tion are the interior door trim panels and the centre armrest. Also trimmed in “Cool Leather” are the steering wheel, gear shift lever and parking brake grip (each upgraded with deco-rative seams in a contrasting colour). Other Exclusive features include cus-tomised door sill plates (“Volkswagen Exclusive”) and floor mats whose base colour (“Titan Black”) and border (“Pepper Beige”) are coordinated with the colours of the seat system.





Phaeton Exclusive Concept Italian leather custom manufacturer will soon celebrate its centenary: Phaeton study with full leather inte-

rior by Poltrona Frau

Interior is one of the most elegant ever implemented in the Phaeton Seats in light leather, dashboard in dark leather, accents in piano paint The company Poltrona Frau, which in 2012 will be exactly 100 years old, is one of the top sources for leather workmanship in the world. Poltrona Frau is actually a furniture manufactur-er. However, the leathers of the Pol-trona Frau brand are not just limited to exclusive furniture items; they can al-so be found in automobiles, aero-

planes and yachts. As a tribute to the 100 years of the Italian company, Volkswagen has now upgraded its flagship with leather from the Poltrona Frau company: the Phaeton Exclusive Concept.

Multicolour leather upholstery and Al-cantara roofliner The full leather interior (“Agata” type) implemented in the Phaeton by Poltro-na Frau is one of the most luxurious that has ever been fitted in an automo-bile. Designed in a leather named “Silkway Beige” are the seats (front seats with electric 18-way adjust-ment), door inserts, package tray and centre armrest (front). Meanwhile,

leather surfaces of the dashboard, centre console, upper door panels and frames, as well as the borders of the floor mats are all upholstered in the contrasting colour “Anthracite”. Coor-dinated with this is the Alcantara roof-liner in “Alabaster White” / “Silkway Beige”; even the boot space is deco-rated in this colour and material com-bination. All relevant add-on parts are also painted in “Alabaster White”.

Volkswagen R GmbH exclusively ap-plies piano paint (“Black”) to the wood accents or the “extended wood pack” offered in the interior. Piano paint is also used for the first time on the cli-mate control panel in the rear.

Show car in “Luna Blue” with 20-inch wheels. The Phaeton Exclusive Con-cept 3.0 V6 TDI being presented in Frankfurt is painted in the pearl-effect

colour “Luna Blue”. The LED rear lights are smoked. The show car sits on 20-inch alloy wheels.

Polo WRC 2013 racing start in the World Rally Championship: Volkswagen Motorsport shows Po-lo R WRC at the IAA 2011 Engine of the Polo R WRC develops about 300 PS from 1.6 litres dis-

placement

Base engine is Volkswagen TSI four cylinder from high volume production The abbreviation R at Volkswagen combines the properties of command-ing handling performance and uncom-promising powertrain agility with a

maximum of safety. The R ennobles Volkswagen models as vehicles with superior dynamics, compelling perfor-mance data and sportiness, at a price that offers outstanding value for mon-ey. From 2013 on, Volkswagen will contest the World Rally Championship with the Polo R WRC.

Thanks to the Technical Regulations that have been revised in 2011 the WRC offers optimum prerequisites for the fielding of the Polo. The new set of rules prescribes 1.6-litre turbo engines with direct injection, in line with the trend to downsize engines – a disci-pline in which Volkswagen has been a pioneer with small-volume, turbo charged, and thus highly efficient, powertrains. Combined with clever rules that also stand for cost efficien-cy, the World Rally Championship of-fers a very attractive stage for

Volkswagen.

Four-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection and about 300 PS The centrepiece of the Volkswagen Polo R WRC will be a 1.6-litre TSI en-gine with direct injection and turbo-charging that will achieve a power out-put of about 300 PS and a maximum torque of about 350 Newton metres. In accordance with the regu-lations the four-cylinder power-plant will have its air intake reduced by a 33-millimetre air restrictor at high engine speeds. The new engine regulations introduced in 2011 thus fit the Volkswagen philoso-phy of clever downsizing for high efficiency while

delivering sporty performance to a T.

To transmit the engine‟s power to the wheels a sequential gearbox is planned. In addition, the Polo R WRC will naturally be fitted with a safety cage, four-wheel drive and, last but not least, an aerodynamically opti-mised exterior. According to the regu-lations the minimum dry weight will be 1,200 kilograms. In the World Rally Championship the technical concept of a world rally car has to be based on the body shell of a production vehicle. Substantial driving assistance systems are prohibited. The aim is to put a rea-sonable cap on development costs.





Volkswagen Commercial

Vehicles at the 64th IAA: New

Models in Every

Category Caddy: Attractive special model for the 30th anniversary of the range

Amarok: New 8-speed automatic transmission and Stop/Start system

Multivan: New BlueMotion version runs on just 6.4 l/100 km

At the 64th International Motor Show (15 to 25 September), Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be showing new models in each of three ranges: Multivan, Amarok and Caddy. The models in the spotlight will be the Mul-tivan BlueMotion (with fuel consump-tion figures of just 6.4 litres per 100 km, the most fuel-efficient Multivan ever), the exclusive Caddy Edition 30 and the new Amarok with automatic transmission. This is the first time that the Amarok is being offered with auto-matic transmission, and in this version too it sets new benchmarks in fuel

consumption, ride comfort and off-road ability.

Caddy Edition 30. Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles is exhibiting the spe-cial Edition 30 model, a near-production concept vehicle, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Caddy range. Based on the successful Multi-van Edition 25, this attractive model is also adorned by a gleaming black roof, black 17-inch alloys and high-end interior features. The special model being shown at the IAA is powered by the high performance, torque-strong 2.0-litre TDI engine that delivers 125 kW / 170 PS with DSG. This engine makes the prototype the most power-ful Caddy ever and a real delight for all Caddy fans.

Amarok with automatic transmission. In many respects, the Amarok has already set new standards in its class, but now yet another special feature is being added: from the turn of the year, the Amarok can be ordered with an innovative 8-speed automatic trans-mission. This transmission combines excellent ride comfort with good off-road capabilities and unrivalled fuel economy values: the Amarok 2.0 TDI with BlueMotion Technology, including Stop/Start system, consumes just 7.6 litres per 100 km, making it even more frugal than the Amarok with a manual gearbox. This automatic transmission is combined with permanent four-wheel drive and the new 132 kW bi-turbo TDI engine, which now achieves a maximum torque of 420 Newton me-tres. The Amarok with an automatic gearbox also has an increased towing capacity of 3.2 metric tonnes (up to 12% gradient).

Multivan BlueMotion. The Multivan BlueMotion assumes the role of the most fuel-efficient Multivan ever. The 84 kW / 114 PS 2.0-litre TDI con-sumes 0.9 litres less diesel per 100 km than the current 75 kW / 102 PS standard model. The average fuel consumption of just 6.4 l/100 km equates to CO2 emissions of 169 grams per km (24 grams less). This was made possible by efficient, high-torque common rail four-cylinder en-gines combined with a Stop/Start sys-tem, battery regeneration, tyres with particularly low rolling resistance and special aerodynamic measures. How-ever, it is only in terms of fuel con-sumption that the Multivan BlueMotion is sparing: the model‟s standard equipment is far from frugal; it in-cludes „Climatic‟ semi-automatic cli-mate control, cruise control, special fabric upholstery and wing mirrors and body-coloured door handles.

Caddy Special 30th anniversary model: The Caddy Edition Sporty and appealing special anni-versary model New top engine specification with

high-torque 125 kW TDI

As a look ahead to the 30th anniver-sary of the successful Caddy next year, Volkswagen Commercial Vehi-cles is showing an exciting special model at the IAA: the Caddy Edition 30 – a near-production concept vehi-cle. This Caddy is a very special high-light with its black roof, machine-polished alloy wheels, a high-end inte-rior and a powerful and torque-strong engine.

1982 saw the launch of the Caddy on the European market, then still as a pick-up based on the Golf Mk1. 30 years later, the Caddy is now an es-tablished major player in the compact and urban delivery van market, with over 1.45 million units sold to date. Whether for young families, city deliv-ery firms or tradesmen, the Caddy has a constantly growing community of fans. Good reason to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this range in due style with a special edition model: the Caddy Edition 30.

On its exterior, the Caddy Edition 30 stands apart from other Caddy models by virtue of a roof painted in brilliant gloss black, roof railing also in high-gloss black and high-end machine-







polished 17-inch alloy wheels. The fact that this is a special edition model is also shown by signatures on the sliding doors, the back of the vehicle and the door sills. Five bodywork col-ours are available, all going well with the black roof, Buyers have a choice of Candy White, Reflex Silver, Salsa Red, Primavera Green or Sunny Yel-low.

The interior, in either five-seat or sev-en-seat configuration, has a sporty, high quality design, with seats in Al-cantara upholstery, multi-function steering wheel, leather-trimmed gear stick and handbrake lever, semi-automatic (Climatic) climate control and tinted windows combining to cre-ate a pleasant ambience.

The Caddy Edition 30 is available with four different engine specifications, both with a short wheelbase as a car

or as a panel van for commercial use: as a diesel (TDI) producing 75 to 125 kW and as a petrol (TSI) version with 77 kW.

Appearing at the display stand at the IAA in Frankfurt is the Caddy Edition 30 featuring the most powerful engine ever installed in a production Caddy: the 125 kW / 170 PS 2.0 TDI with DSG accelerates the compact MPV to a top speed of 196 km/h and gener-ates enormous traction with a torque of 350 Newton metres, making this special edition Caddy the most dy-namic Caddy ever.

Amarok Innovative automatic transmission system for the Amarok 8-speed automatic transmission together with BlueMotion Technolo-gy increases comfort and cuts con-

sumption

Amarok with automatic gearbox com-bines high levels of off-road ability, comfort and fuel efficiency

From the turn of the year, the gearbox options available for the successful Amarok will include an innovative 8-speed automatic transmission. This new transmission system combines a high degree of ride comfort and good off-road skills with a level of fuel con-sumption below that of the same mod-el with a manual gearbox. Consump-tion of just 7.6 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 199 g/km set this Amarok apart in the 1-tonne pick-up market.

Sporting a new 8-speed automatic transmission, the Amarok is the first pick-up in its class to have a transmis-

sion system of this kind. The addition-al gear levels made it possible to achieve a broader gear ratio spread between the 1st and 8th gears com-pared to a conventional automatic transmission. That had some very positive effects: thanks to this greater spread the TDI engine works even more effectively in every rev range and it is more fuel-efficient and agile. Moreover, 8th gear was configured as a fuel-saving overdrive gear that oper-ates at reduced engine speed. The first gear is configured for pulling away in off-road use or when towing. Like

the manual version, the Amarok with automatic transmission and perma-nent 4-wheel drive is thus also highly capable in all-terrain use without any need for additional reduction gearing.

The low engine revs that are generat-ed also have a beneficial effect in terms of low-noise comfort. To isolate the drivetrain as ideally as possible from engine vibrations, enhanced torque converters with optimised vi-bration dampers are also used.

Combining the new automatic gearbox with the engine‟s Stop/Start function is not only something unique – it is also convenient. The driver does not need to do anything special here: when the brake pedal is pressed at a stop, the engine shuts off, and when the brake pedal is released, the TDI immediately starts up again.

In order for the Amarok‟s Stop/Start system to function smoothly through-out every phase, the transmission has to provide sufficient oil pressure to ensure slip-free power transfer within

the gear-shifting com-ponents. Therefore, the system has an electric pump, which maintains the necessary stable oil pressure within the hydraulic system dur-ing the engine‟s „Stop‟ phase.

This great technologi-cal sophistication – combined with BlueMo-tion Technology that includes battery regen-eration and low rolling resistance tyres – is clearly noticeable in the vehicle‟s fuel con-sumption. Unlike com-parable rival models, fuel consumption and

CO2 emission values of Volkswagen‟s premier pick-up with automatic trans-mission are lower than those of the 120-kW version with manual transmis-sion – just 7.6 litres per 100 km and 199 g/km respectively – making it the most fuel-efficient in its class.

The new automatic transmission is combined with permanent 4-wheel drive and a new engine: a 132 kW / 180 PS 2.0-litre bi-turbo TDI. It has a maximum torque of 420 Newton me-tres and thus produces very good driv-ing performance and a relaxed ride –





even when towing or with a heavy payload. The top speed of 179 km/h is reached in 7th gear. It only takes 8.5 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h.

Relaxed driving is also assured with a trailer load or high payload. With the automatic gearbox, the Amarok‟s tow-ing capacity has now been increased to 3.2 metric tonnes (up to 12% gradi-ent) – which is a superior value in its class.

The Amarok with double cab will be available in all three versions with this innovative, powerful and at the same time fuel-efficient and comfortable drive system starting in January.

Multivan BlueMotion Clean BlueMotion Technology:

Most fuel-efficient Multivan ever

As BlueMotion version, this seven-seater consumes just 6.4 l/100 km Sets new best-in-class benchmark at 169g CO2 per km At the 64th IAA in Frankfurt, the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand will be demonstrating its innova-tive strength with BlueMotion Technol-ogy. Even in spacious vehicles like the Multivan, BlueMotion technology of-fers great savings potential. The new independent Multivan BlueMotion model, for instance, consumes almost a full litre less fuel per 100 km – mak-ing it the most fuel-efficient Multivan ever.

Compared to its counterpart with a comparable engine from the current

range (75 kW TDI), at just 6.4 l/100 km the Multivan BlueMotion needs 0.9 litres less diesel (equivalent to 169 rather than 193 g/km of CO2). This has been achieved by means of an efficient, torque-strong common rail four-cylinder engine combined with a Stop/Start system, battery regenera-tion, tyres with particularly low rolling resistance and special aerodynamic measures.

The 2.0 TDI engine in the Multivan BlueMotion delivers 84 kW / 114 PS and develops a maximum torque of 250 Newton metres from just 1,500 rpm. This frugal yet powerful and com-fortable powertrain enables fine driv-ing performance carrying up to seven people, while maintaining minimal fuel consumption.

The Stop/Start system in detail The Stop/Start system, which is fully intuitive to use, works in a very un-complicated way: the Multivan BlueMotion driver approaches a red light, slows to a stop, shifts to neutral and takes his or her foot off the clutch. This immediately turns the engine off. The „Stop/Start‟ indicator now appears on the multi-function display. As soon as the traffic light turns green and the driver puts his foot on the clutch, the engine automatically starts, the „Stop/Start‟ indicator goes out, and the driv-er puts the vehicle into gear and drives on. There is nothing else the driver has to do. The Stop/Start sys-tem thus makes an appreciable contri-bution to cutting fuel consumption.

Battery regeneration in detail Battery regeneration helps to utilise the energy expended in driving as effi-ciently as possible. During coasting

and braking phases of the Multivan BlueMotion – i.e. whenever the driver releases the accelerator pedal or brakes – the system elevates the volt-age of the alternator (generator), and this electricity is used to intensively charge the vehicle‟s battery.

Thanks to this alternator control and the fact that the battery is thus always optimally charged, the alternator‟s voltage can be reduced, for example during acceleration or when constantly maintaining the desired speed. This reduces engine load, which in turn lowers consumption. Battery regener-ation requires special software for the energy management system and mod-ified engine controller software.

Multivan BlueMotion features Visually, the Multivan BlueMotion sets itself apart from other vehicles in the model range through its exclusive Glacier Blue paintwork – including for wing mirrors and door handles. Also recognisable by the BlueMotion signa-ture on front and back and in the tread board lights, this master of fuel econo-my runs as standard on 16-inch de-signer wheels. The optional fog lights with their chrome rings and black frames are also given a design that is exclusive to the Multivan BlueMotion.

Inside, the Multivan BlueMotion sets itself apart with special seat covers in „Scout‟ design. Standard features also include a tyre pressure indicator, „Climatic‟ climate control, „Plus‟ multi-function display, cruise control and carpeted floors in driver and passen-ger rows of the cab. Trim elements in stainless steel look on the instrument panel and in chrome on the light switches and gear lever knob also cre-ate a clearly upgraded feel.

The Multivan BlueMotion is an inde-pendent model within Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles‟ T-Series range. BlueMotion Technology is available with the 84 kW TDI and the 62 kW TDI in other T-Series models, and it reduc-es fuel consumption by 0.5l per 100 km, lowering CO2 emissions by 13 grams. Within this model series, BlueMotion Technology is gradually being rolled out to other engine and transmission variants. For example, starting in early 2012 BlueMotion Technology will also be offered for the first time in combination with a DSG dual-clutch transmission and the 2.0 TDI with 103 kW (140 PS) on all T-Series models.
