BlueGT in Geneva today. Positioned as an extremely fuel-efficient, yet sporty vehicle, the Polo BlueGT is the first Volkswagen with cylinder deactivation.
The BlueGT uses the new 1.4 TSI which is the top engine in the entirely new EA211 series of petrol engines. With its 140HP (103kW) the compact Polo accelerates from standstill to 100km/h in just 7.9 seconds and then onto a top speed of 210km/h (130mph).

Meanwhile, thanks to the active cylinder management (ACT) and BlueMotion Technology (Stop/Start system, battery regeneration) with a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG), the BlueGT achieves 4.5l/100km (62.8mpg imp) and 105g/km CO2. Keep in mind this is a petrol, not a diesel engine. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission the BlueGT combined fuel consumption drops slightly to 4.7l/100 (60mpg imp) with a CO2 quotient of 108g/km - still quite impressive. As such, the Polo BlueGT closes the gap between the Polo 1.2 TSI (77 kW / 105 PS) and the Polo GTI (132 kW / 180 PS).

For appearances, the Polo BlueGT is distinguished with new 17-inch alloy wheels, GT badging, dual tailpipes and many standard features from the Polo GTI and Polo BlueMotion. GTI features include the rear spoiler, rear bumper with diffuser, front bumper and fog lights including daytime running lights. BlueMotion elements are the side sills and the front rain channels (outside on the windscreen). The Polo BlueGT also gets a black painted grille, R-line bumper vents and black side mirrors. To improve aerodynamics the Polo is lowered 15mm and has special underbody trim.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Wallpaper

In line with the launch of the re-newed version aka 2012 Beetle (and its oil-burning TDI kin), Volkswagen is hard at work prepping the new droptop variant, seen here testing in a not-so-convertible-friendly environment.

Complimentary signature styling difference that separates the 2012 Beetle from the Bug that came before it is indeed the longer, flatter roofline, and it's interesting to see how well the shape has been kept intact during the transformation from hardtop to droptop. This test mule is fitted with the front and rear fascias of the last-generation car, but make no mistake, the decidedly more masculine fore and aft lighting treatments will indeed carry over to the new convertible.

Undeniably, we can expect the Beetle Convertible to be available with Volkswagen's 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine as standard kit. There's no word about whether or not the 2.0-liter turbo-four will make its way under the hood of the new convertible, but what really piques our interest is that Volkswagen sources have pretty much confirmed that the topless Beetle will be available with the 2.0-liter TDI unit, making it the first (and currently, only) diesel droptop in the United States. Expect to see the production car debut at the New York Auto Show this April. More Wallpaper!

Here’s one of Volkswagen’s Frankfurt exhibits – the Volkswagen Polo R-Line, not a exactly true Volkswagen R car, but kitted up to give it a spicier look. Some inspiration for current and future owners of the Polo perhaps?

The R-Line package includes 16 inch Mallory design alloy wheels, a high gloss black radiator grille with R-Line badgeing, an R-line bumper, chrome tailpipes, a roof edge spoiler, R-line side sills, daytime running lights, fog lights, and LED licence plate illumination.

On the inside, the Polo R-Line gets sports seats, mimicing the GTI model, finished with either Kyalami fabric or an optional Alcantara/leather combi surface. The inner surfaces of the lateral seat supports are made of San Remo microfibre fabric. Of course, there are R-Line logos in the headrests. There’s also black rooflining, high gloss black accents, aluminium look pedals, and R-Line door sill plates.

Volkswagen will begin selling the R-Line package for the Polo overseas from the end of this year, and it will be available with any engine variant overseas, so perhaps you can start enquiring at your Volkswagen dealership if they will bring this package in?

Volkswagen Nils Concept Wallpaper

Volkswagen will be showing off NILS, a single-seat electric concept vehicle, in Frankfurt. The compact offering is 50 cm shorter than the Up! at 3.04m long, and is just 0.39m wide from wheel to wheel and a mere 1.2m tall.

The design has the same basic layout as a F1 car, with the driver in the middle, the engine at the back, and free-standing outboard wheels. The vehicle, which features an aluminium space frame, wing doors and free-standing wheels, has a range of 65 km and a top speed of 130 kph.

The 460 kg concept can accelerate to 100 kph in less than 11 seconds, and is powered by a reasonably small electric motor weighing 19 kg offering a nominal 15 kW (and short-term peak power of 25 kW), working with a one-speed transmission.

A 5.3 kWh lithium-ion battery supplies the juice, and can be charged either via a conventional 230V electrical outlet – with a maximum charging time of two hours – or at an electric vehicle charging station. The socket is located at the back underneath the rear lighting module, and all drive unit components are located compactly in an aluminium housing at the rear of NILS; drive is to the rear wheels.

The motor, battery and all other components are so compact that there is still space for a small, but practical, bootspace. The body-coloured area above the rear lighting module swings upward, revealing space suitable for items such as a case of drinks and a bag.

The car features a purely mechanical steering, with the low weight meaning power assistance is unnecessary, says VW. Suspension is double wishbones front and rear, and NILS sits on 17-inch alloys equipped with 115/80 (front) and 125/80 (rear) tyres optimised for low rolling resistance.

There’s ESP, electric traction by electric motor and battery regeneration as well as an automatic distance control system, which uses radar sensors to scan the space in front of the vehicle over a distance of about 200m and uses brake interventions to ensure that the distance to vehicles in traffic in front of the car doesn’t drop below a specified minimum value. Front Assist, which warns the driver of a potential collision, is integrated in the ADC system.

Aluminium features highly in the entire body – the body in white is produced from extruded aluminium, cast aluminium and sheet aluminium, while the roof frame together with the door mounts, a roll bar, the bootspace and the front bulkhead consist of high-strength sheet aluminium.

Elsewhere, extruded aluminium is used in the side sills, the transverse profiles and the front and rear car sections, and the use of the material continues on the front and rear side body. Parts that are made of high-strength plastic include the bumpers and the trim panels on the side sills. The door windows are made of lightweight, scratch-resistant, layered polycarbonate, while the front window is made of laminated safety glass.

Mod cons include a seven-inch TFT display which shows speed and energy flow, while another graphic display offers information on the driving range. The NILS also features the Portable Infotainment Device (PID) mobile multifunctional device as seen in the new up! Snapped into the A-pillar to the right of the instrument cluster, it offers via touchscreen functions related to navigation, radio, media, telephone and trip computer.

To save on weight and costs, certain functional elements and controls do without electrical assistance – the side mirrors, for example, are adjusted manually. The heating and ventilation system has full electronic control though, and there is seat heating. The headlights are bi-xenons, while the indicator lights and daytime running lights are white and yellow LEDs.

Volkswagen UP Wallpaper

The production version of Volkswagen's up! small car has been officially revealed ahead of its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The up!, which has been previewed by numerous concepts over the past few years, is a small city car measuring just 3.54 m long and 1.64 m wide.

Unlike the concepts, however, the production version VW has abandoned the rear-engined, rear-drive layout in favor of a more conventional and predictably less costly to manufacture, front-engine, front-wheel drive setup.

At launch, it will be offered with a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine available with 60-horses or 75-horses. When opted with VW's BlueMotion Technology that includes an auto stop/start system, the 60HP version returns a combined fuel consumption of 4.2lt/100km (55.6mpg US or 67.2mpg UK) and the 75HP model, 4.3lt/100km (54.7mpg US or 65.7mpg UK). VW said both of these 1.0-litre engines emit less than 100 g/km CO2.

A natural gas engine with an output of 68-horses (50 kW) that returns a combined fuel consumption of 3.2 kg/100 km (natural gas) and a CO2 value of 86 g/km will follow at a later date, while VW also revealed plans to offer a pure electric version, though it didn’t specify a timeframe.

Despite its compact dimensions, the up! promises to offer accommodation for four adults thanks to the long 2.42 m wheelbase and the forward mounting of the engine which maximizes interior space. Its 251-liter boot is also bigger than most cars in the city car segment while with the rear seats folded down its capacity increases to 951 lt.

VW’s new small car will be available in three different trim versions. “Take up!” is the entry level model, “move up!” the comfort oriented and the “high up!” is the top of the line version. At the model’s launch, which is scheduled for December in Europe, there will also two special edition versions of the “high up!”, the “up! black” and the “up!white”.

The German automaker noted that the up! will also be the only model in its class to offer the City Emergency Braking System. The latter is an active safety system that operates automatically at speeds under 18 mph and uses a laser sensor to assess the risk of an accident. If the driver doesn’t react, it automatically activates the brakes in order to lessen the severity of the collision.

In addition, the up! will be offered with a maps + more system, which VW describes as a mobile Personal Infotainment Device (PID). Designed in cooperation with Navigon, the maps+ more system is placed above the center console. It uses a touchscreen and effectively manages all of the car’s infotainment systems, such as navigation, audio and navigation and it even displays the parking sensors.

2012 volkswagen Beetle RS Wallpaper

The 2012 Beetle RS Stage 1 is the creation of the Volkswagen-loving crew at VWvortex who were given a pre-production model by the German firm to work on. Since the vehicle came with no registration and license plates, the team decided to skip on the engine modes for now and concentrate on the styling aspect of the tune, which as you may have already guessed by now, was inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3RS.
Starting with the wheels, VWvortex fitted the new Beetle with a set of VMR710 20-inch alloys with a 35 offset. The rims are finished in orange and are wrapped around in Continental ExtremeContact DW 245-35ZR20 tires. Behind the front wheels is a Brembo Stage II brake kit with 14" front two-piece cross drilled rotors, four-piston radial mount calipers, aluminum mounting brackets, stainless braided lines and pads.
The exterior makeup is limited for now to Beetle RS graphics finished in orange on either side of the car, the blacked out chrome strips on the lower part of the doors and the front grille, plus the 3M Titanium Brushed wrap for the rear VW logo. The team’s next upgrade will include a 997 GT3 RS-style rear wing.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle Wallpaper

The iconic beetle has been given a facelift and according Volkswagen global marketing director Luca de Meo,the car that was revealed simultaneously in New York, Berlin and Shanghai, "We worked on the entire packaging of the car, engine, trunk, interior, everything." Take a close look at it, and it's clear.

Marketing guru de Meo says VW laid out three objectives for the new hatchback: Bring back the spirit of the original, i.e., make it affordable, tough, and easy to use; reconnect with the emotion of the car; and bring the shape and concept of the original into the 21st century.

To achieve all that, Volkswagen's head of design, Klaus Bischoff, says they threw everything from the current Beetle out the window and had an original Beetle in the studio when they started the redesign in 2007. Working from those vintage cues, the 2012 car is stretched everywhere: it's 150 millimeters longer, 3.2 inches wider, and has a wider track. The bonnet is longer, a look exacerbated by the cabin being pushed back and the windshield being more upright and closer to the driver.

Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 35 Wallpaper

The Golf GTI is 35 years old, and there will be a special edition to commemorate it. This is the VW Golf GTI Edition 35 that will be revealed at VW Group’s tuning festival at Worthersee, Austria next month. If you remember, they released an Edition 30 five years ago based on the Mk5 GTI.
The GTI 35′s tweaked 2.0 TSI engine makes 25 horses more than the standard car, taking max power to 235 hp. No torque or acceleration figures were given, but the added power should shave a few tenths of the standard 0-100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds.
The Edition 35 sports a revised front bumper, a new alloy wheel design plus 35 badges on the door sills. Inside, the special edition gets part-leather bucket seats with 35 badging and a golf ball gearstick.

Volkswagen Golf 24 Wallpaper

Volkswagen will be returning to the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race this year with this, the new Golf24 race car. It's a hot little number, and we'll see it take to the track during the official race events that span from June 23 to 26.

Under the hood is Volkswagen's turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five, though output has been bumped up to 434 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. That power is managed by a six-speed sequential gearbox and runs to the ground via permanent all-wheel drive. Combine that with a body that has been optimized to keep the car as flat as possible through turns, and what we have here is a seriously fast Golf that's ready to eat the competition.

The last time Volkswagen entered a Golf in a Nürburgring race was 2007, when a 296-hp, front-wheel-drive example placed eighth overall. Since then, the automaker has commissioned its Scirocco GT24 for 'Ring duty, but since 2011 marks the 35th anniversary of the infamous GTI hot hatch, VW decided that an all-new Golf-based car was in order.
