VW prepara mudanças no Golf GTI europeu

Esportivo teria melhorias no motor para render 223 cv

Enquanto no Brasil ainda convivemos com um Golf reestilizado da quarta geração, os europeus já começam a pensar em mudanças no Golf GTI.
O esportivo – que está em sua sexta geração no Velho Continente – deve ganhar melhorias no motor 2.0 TSI, que entrega 210 cv. Segundo o site da revista Autocar, com as mudanças, o propulsor deve passar a entregar 223 cv. Além da cavalaria extra, a VW também estaria preparando um novo sistema de bloqueio eletrônico do diferencial nas versões GTI e R, aprimorando a estabilidade do hatch.
Mas as novidades não param por aí. Ainda segundo a Autocar, a montadora alemã estaria pronta para autorizar a produção do Golf R Cabrio. O conversível teria um motor 2.0 com turbocompressor, com potência estimada em 270 cv e torque máximo de 35,69 mkgf. A aceleração de 0 a 100 km/h seria realizada em menos de seis segundos, sendo que o bólido chegaria à velocidade final de 250 km/h.

Volkswagen investe em Beetle R mais potente!

Carro deve ganhar o mesmo motor do "Golf R"

A Volkswagen estuda a possibilidade de alterar o motor do Beetle R. O carro pode, em breve, ganhar a poderosa versão 2.0 litros TFSI com 200 hp de potência e 35,7 kgfm de torque utilizada pelo Golf R.

Na Alemanha, outra motorização que também deve estrear ainda esse ano é a 2.0 litros com 200 cv. Nesta versão, o carro faz de zero a 100 km/h em 7,5 segundos, gastando apenas 0,1 l/km de combustível. O preço de entrada desse Beetle será de 27.100 euros - cerca de 59.600 reais.

Para investir no designer, a VW comprou a empresa Giugiaro Giorgietto e fará um investimento 51,6 bilhões de euros - cerca de 113.5 bilhões de reais, até 2015.

Volkswagen Polo 2012

Volkswagen Polo 2012

A expectativa dos fãs da Volkswagen era que a marca começasse a produzir o novo Polo no Brasil. Mas não será desta vez que o hatchback será vendido aqui. Ao invés disso, a montadora preferiu atualizar o visual do Polo, seguindo a mesma receita adotada na África do Sul.

As maiores mudanças foram feitas na frente, com nova grade e para-choque redesenhado. A inspiração veio dos lançamentos mais recentes da VW - incluindo o Polo europeu -, embora o carro preserve as linhas de seu antecessor. Atrás, as lanternas do hatch agora são escurecidas e o sedã teve as lentes tingidas de vermelho. Em ambos, o para-choque foi redesenhado e ganhou a companhia de duas luzes reflexivas - conhecidas popularmente como "olhos de gato". Algumas versões, como a Sportline, possuem detalhes visuais, como faixas decorativas nas laterais.

Outra novidade é que todas as outras versões da linha Polo (Hatch e Sedan) passam a oferecer, de série, direção hidráulica, ar-condicionado e destravamento interno da tampa traseira. Airbag duplo, sensor de estacionamento traseiro e freios com sistema anti-travamento (ABS) também equipam o modelo de fábrica. No sedã, o teto solar pode equipar todas as versões.

As alterações na linha 2012 foram tão sutis que a VW preferiu não mexer muito na gama de versões. A versão 2.0 GT foi substituída pela 2.0 Sportline, enquanto que a versão 1.6 E-Flex - que não tinha o tanque de gasolina para partida a frio - sai de cena. Sua tecnologia foi incorporada pela empresa na versão Bluemotion, concebida priorizando a economia de combustível.

O motor são os conhecidos 1.6 e 2.0, que entregam até 103 cv e 120 cv, respectivamente. A transmissão automatizada I-Motion também permanece como opção nas versões com propulsor de 1,6 litro.

Os preços da versão hatch começam em R$ 44.390, no modelo com motor 1.6, e vão até R$ 54.790 na versão Sportline 2.0. Já o Polo Sedan custa R$ 47.770 na versão de entrada com motor 1.6 e vai até R$ 57.330 reais na versão Comfortline 2.0.

2011 Volkswagen Phaeton US, Review and Pictures

I've gone through the same financial pain with VHS. Thinking that I'd perfected my film-buff collection of videos I sat back to admire my handiwork only to be confronted with DVD. Well clearly DVD is better quality and doesn't wear out so, to the shops I went to upgrade Tarantino, Scorsese and Kubrick to sleeker versions. Now of course my DVDs are under threat from Blu Ray. Much to my Dad's displeasure having forked out for a High Definition DVD player, Blu Ray now has the HD market to itself and is releasing old and new on this format. I'd happily stick with DVD except my new HD TV isn't being fully exploited unless a Blu Ray player joins the party.

The Golf is available in four models: GL and GLS in two door or four door configurations.

Available options on all models include an OnStar Telematics Communication System, electronic stability traction control, and port-installed six-disc compact disc changer and front and rear mudguards. The Cold Weather Package, available only on GLS models only, includes heated front seats and windshield washer nozzles. A Monsoon sound system comes standard on the all GLS model.

When you think of Volkswagen you will most likely think of the classic beetle since it is the car that really introduced the Volkswagen logo around the world. The first Volkswagen car was designed in 1934 by Ferdinand Porsche as a method of cheap reliable transport. Through the years VW have become a global force in the manufacturing sector getting bigger and bigger with every new design. Not to long after the beetle had been created and unveiled the Golf was released. The first generation of Golf or the rabbit as it was called by the Americans was launched in 1975 and was stopped in 1984. Through the years the Golf has gone from the original square body shape and gradually over the years become streamlined and round the first Volkswagen rabbit GTI was a very square body compared to the new golf introduced in 2006. Through the years the Golf has been fitted with a bigger engine but in addition has gained more weight the biggest engine that Volkswagen released in the Golf was the impressive Golf R32 with the 3.2 V6 engine in the front. The R32 is the most powerful of the whole Golf range because it is 4wd and it has 237BHP which isn't that great for a V6 I would have expected a lot more from Volkswagen.
