The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack will come equipped with all-wheel drive as standard in the UK and will sit between the Passat estate and the Tiguan in VW’s line-up.<div> VW claims the Alltrack has genuine off-road capabilities, something emphasised with both its styling and equipment. The visual changes include a new design for the front and rear bumpers inspired by the Tiguan and Touareg SUVs and flared wheel arches wrapped in black plastic cladding. Despite the changes, the Alltrack’s length and width are identical to the Passat estate’s at 4771mm and 1820mm respectively. </div><div> The new Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is going to be offered with two turbocharged direct injection petrol engines (one with 160 PS / 118 kW and the other rated at 210 PS / 155 kW) and two turbodiesels (TDI) capable of delivering 140 PS / 103 kW or 170 PS / 125 kW.</div><div> The range kicks off with the 138bhp six-speed manual version, while there will also be a 168bhp model with a six-speed DSG automatic transmission. Just the one, highly specified, trim level will be available, which comes with Alcantara suede, two-zone climate control, cruise control, tyre pressure sensors, an iPod dock, Bluetooth and 18-inch alloys. </div><div> Prices will be revealed soon and order books open in April, with deliveries expected by late summer. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnywNHTlOlA2eF8Xv5JBdLvhwPJCbVNEF-86bZhPXhodzXt-Pa6KpPtzTrmwxfmXG-LrPQQ5K2Nggv9wIkacrw3_bJD1cx8GXgfVzAVjm1UtSuKQI5tevAwn1Ge6BIfxsbtw36BGC99Q/s1600/VW-PASSAT-ALLTRACK-7.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Volkswagen Passat Alltrack" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678466468383475106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnywNHTlOlA2eF8Xv5JBdLvhwPJCbVNEF-86bZhPXhodzXt-Pa6KpPtzTrmwxfmXG-LrPQQ5K2Nggv9wIkacrw3_bJD1cx8GXgfVzAVjm1UtSuKQI5tevAwn1Ge6BIfxsbtw36BGC99Q/s200/VW-PASSAT-ALLTRACK-7.jpg" style="cursor:pointer;

cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 87px;" /></a> </center> Press Release Passat Alltrack unites passenger car and SUV worlds Passat Alltrack has higher ground clearance and new off-road design Wolfsburg, 23 November 2011 - Over the past four decades, well over 15 million Passat cars have been built. Along with its favourable all-round qualities, the success of the bestseller - which is sold on all of the world's continents - can be attributed to the Passat's wide and diverse range of versions. Now, Volkswagen is extending the model series with another specialist: the Passat Alltrack. This new version is offered in an estate car configuration, and it closes the gap between the conventional Passat Estate and SUVs such as the Tiguan. The rationale here: many car drivers who use their car as a towing vehicle, or in light off-road situations, want a versatile, sporty and very roomy passenger car that has rugged qualities. Volkswagen developed the Passat Alltrack for this clientele. In comparison with the familiar Passat Estate, the new model is defined by new bumpers in SUV style - with wheel well and side sill flares. Its greater off-road ramp angle, approach angle, departure angle and higher ground clearance all make the Passat Alltrack an excellent SUV alternative for driving on unpaved track. Two turbocharged direct injection petrol engines (TSI) with 118 kW / 160 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS and two turbodiesels (TDI) - also with direct injection - with 103 kW / 140 PS and 125 kW / 170 PS are available in the Passat Alltrack. The two most powerful Alltrack versions, the 170 PS TDI and the 210 PS TSI, have standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a dual clutch transmission (DSG). For the Passat Alltrack with a 140 PS TDI, Volkswagen will offer all-wheel drive as an option. Just how efficiently the engines of the Passat Alltrack operate together with the intelligently controlled 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is illustrated by the two TDI engines: the 140 PS version has a low combined fuel consumption of 5.7 l/100 km (equivalent to 150 g/km CO2), while fuel consumption for the 170 PS version is 5.8 l/100 km (152 g/km CO2). The Alltrack will debut in a world premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show (03 to 11 December); market launch for the new versatile Alltrack begins in early 2012. </div>

The 2012 Cooper B-Spec race car delivers 121 horsepower with total weight at 2,535 lbs. Powered by a 121 hp unit and weighing in at 2,535 lbs, the MINIs are fitted with Carbotech brake pads and stainless steel hoses, a KW V1 coilover suspension kit and Vorshlag front camber plates, while the wheels used are 7×15-inch 15 x 7 Kosei K1 items wrapped in Hoosier SM6 205/50 rubber. MINI isn’t quoting prices for the conversion package or for completed cars just yet, and it doesn’t say exactly when the cars will be available. It has announced a contingency program for all four sanctioning series, so the automaker will actually pay drivers who earn a podium finish. MINI of Charlestone offers either a complete turn-key car or can upgrade your 2007-2012 MINI Coopers. We have to tell you that next year the SCCA, Grand Am, NASA and World Challenge bodies will all host B-Spec events. <center> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuZBIIOLDIs6llKyQxLFdzQXVod834uuF-8fw4YGuyCXxin0ho3CwkrDW0V2uHiOR_jxDrgaPLRQHa0QZ7DJ5POpBZknpK941z_uhufwxtHZQ7tfo_a2EHZnYV260LTn9c7Bc6OHgdV8/s1600/IMG_0423.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="2012 MINI Cooper B-Spec race car" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676588300401859250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuZBIIOLDIs6llKyQxLFdzQXVod834uuF-8fw4YGuyCXxin0ho3CwkrDW0V2uHiOR_jxDrgaPLRQHa0QZ7DJ5POpBZknpK941z_uhufwxtHZQ7tfo_a2EHZnYV260LTn9c7Bc6OHgdV8/s200/IMG_0423.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 97px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTWCDTlY3FvFDF2GP60ix_1qz0hjUqXY9Wk89TAVQJfDxbmDVzxtcbgCcJimCksHuPoLX4oopcnig9OaSzUqH1IHVxVXaEqSkJpAdGwFWr-KSH4ZY-2sA4bBKeBe07C_OaY7_zENLUBM/s1600/IMG_0425.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="2012 MINI Cooper B-Spec race car" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676588085757314370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTWCDTlY3FvFDF2GP60ix_1qz0hjUqXY9Wk89TAVQJfDxbmDVzxtcbgCcJimCksHuPoLX4oopcnig9OaSzUqH1IHVxVXaEqSkJpAdGwFWr-KSH4ZY-2sA4bBKeBe07C_OaY7_zENLUBM/s200/IMG_0425.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 97px;" /></a> </center> Press Release MINI COOPER HARDTOP TO ENTER B-SPEC RACE SERIES FOR 2012 MINI USA and MINI of Charleston to build and sell turn-key MINI race cars Woodcliff Lake, NJ - November 16, 2011 - MINI USA has partnered with MINI of Charleston (South Carolina) to announce that the MINI Cooper Hardtop will begin racing in the B-Spec series for the 2012 race season. B-Spec vehicles are production-based cars that are equalized on power and weight to make the racing as competitive as possible and all four of the major racing sanctioning bodies (SCCA, Grand Am, NASA and World Challenge) will host B-Spec races in 2012. "B-Spec racing is a great fit for MINI because the car is developed with racing heritage in mind and the races are run with vehicles very similar to those already sitting in the driveway," said Jim McDowell, Vice President - MINI USA. "Getting involved with B-Spec racing offers a fun and competitive race environment without requiring MINI drivers to make a large financial investment to make their car a serious competitor." MINI of Charleston, a Hendrick Automotive Group company, will build and sell turn-key MINI Hardtop racing vehicles by the start of the 2012 season. It will also offer class-legal conversion kits so the owner of any 2007 - 2012 MINI Cooper Hardtop can easily be ready to race in B-Spec. All safety equipment will meet or exceed requirements set forth by the sanctioning body. During the LA Auto Show, the first MINI's B-Spec prototype will be on display. This vehicle will be driven by Brad Davis, Executive General Manager of MINI of Charleston and team driver Robbie Davis. MINI USA's existing contingency program for all four racing series will be extended to sanctioned B-Spec race teams, with financial compensation for an eligible podium finish. For more information about MINI USA's contingency program, please visit http://www.miniusa.com/#/miniRacing "MINI entering B-Spec racing is full of benefits," said Vinnie Kung, MINI USA Product Manager. "Drivers can enter the racing arena for a fairly low investment in a car developed from the ground up with performance and handling at its core. In addition, MINI USA's contingency program is to compelling, it could even pay off the car itself in about a year." Final contingency payout information, as well as detailed pricing for the MINI Hardtop adapted by MINI of Charleston and the conversion kits, will be announced as the start of the 2012 season draws closer.

Concept is making its debut at the Design Centre of Potsdam was specially designed for delivery of mail shipments of all types. The eT! is an all-electric van, which means it is quiet and doesn’t produce any emissions while driving through dense urban environments. The cabin has a tablet computer mounted to the dashboard, presumably allowing the driver to monitor deliveries while on the road. As an alternative, the driver can direct the car’s movements via a ‘drive stick’ from the passenger’s side that also offers a standing seat and quick access to the vehicle. The eT! uses electric hub motors to maximize important interior volume both under the hood and in the load bay. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2DExPP6W4ruJ1_UMvm_xuC8yhAZjK823cNksgopyqlvUkIIdMICAiVoZFUw19AG0DaqRTsStyh1rJXPoU6EZT_BnDigtJGgJhiosyCd4lawo7j7OwhUy4gj_2nV5mYfJgR5SP54Kh3I8/s1600/VW-ET1-Carscoop3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Volkswagen eT!

They are helpers in everyday life, which bring us people goods, services, postal deliveries and occasionally emergency assistance as well. Volkswagen Group Research, which is responsible for the world of tomorrow, together with the German Post Office (‘Deutsche Post AG'), which is one of the largest customers of lightweight commercial vehicles - as well as the University of Art at Braunschweig - formed a think tank on future transport and mobility issues. Finally, these research activities led to a completely new vehicle concept for the delivery and logistics field: eT! Prof. Dr. Jürgen Leohold, Director of Volkswagen Group Research: "We analyzed process flows and customer needs in detail, and from these analyses we derived ideas on how the segment of delivery and courier vehicles could be further developed over the long term. In this context, we focused on zero-emissions driving and available space in urban areas, semi-automatic driving functions that offer relevant support and simplify work processes and the integration of new communication technologies. On top of that, we also set out to design a very emotionally appealing commercial vehicle. To attain these goals, our teams not only looked towards the future from the past, but also worked from a future perspective to implement an advanced development concept based on technologies available today." The eT! research vehicle could someday actually revolutionise the world of lightweight commercial vehicles. Completely reconceptualised, driven with zero emissions, thought through to the last detail and driving semi-automatically if necessary! Just how wide-ranging the significance of this research project could be for sustainability in the transportation field is underscored by the support for the eT! project by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. "The eT! research vehicle," explains Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, spokesperson for the Board of Management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, "unifies a whole gamut of innovative functions, which will gain in future importance, specifically for logistics businesses. In particular, the possibility of driving the car semi-automatically - and electrically - in downtown areas unifies economical and environmental aspects more systematically than ever. As a vision of the future, the eT! is showcasing what is the maximum feasible technology for electric vehicles in the commercial market today with a special design that systematically addresses future customer needs." "eT! is a pure electrically powered transporter that systematically transfers E-mobility to the area of commercial use," says Dr. Rudolf Krebs, Group Manager for Electric Traction at Volkswagen AG. And continues: "As a transport specialist, the eT! is advancing to become the automotive building block for an innovative, future-oriented logistics concept, which not only drives with zero emissions in urban areas - thanks to its electric wheel hub motors - but also offers maximum freedom in manoeuvering and turning as well as optimal utilisation of the vehicle's interior space. If ‘refuelled' with electricity generated from renewable energy sources, the eT! can indeed be operated with zero emissions. Naturally, the eT! is not a vehicle which - unlike the Golf or up! with an electric motor - could become available very soon. But we must make plans today for what the world of lightweight commercial vehicles might look like starting in the second half of this decade, including with regard to electrical drives." To make the working world of mail delivery personnel and courier drivers simpler and safer, to optimise the logistics of delivery and to shorten delivery times, eT! can be operated semi-automatically in certain situations. The car can follow the delivery person from house to house ("Follow me"), or the car can return to the delivery person on command ("Come to me") - driverless! As an alternative, the driver can direct the car's movements via a ‘drive stick' from the passenger's side that also offers a standing seat and quick access to the vehicle. On the passenger's side - the side that faces the sidewalk and therefore the working area of the delivery person - there is therefore an electrically opening sliding door that opens to 2 different stages; this enables extremely quick entry into the vehicle as well as quick access to the mail parcels. This makes unnecessary walking movements around the vehicle a thing of the past. Variants of this lightweight transport vehicle could be implemented for all conceivable business uses. And these derived concepts are also the focus of research activities. Meanwhile, the eT! concept shown in a world premiere at the Design Centre of Potsdam was specially designed for delivery of mail shipments of all types. The research vehicle will now be integrated in a driving test study and further analysed.
