That Thing Got Bags?

Yup. Although many of us Dubbers are thinking airbag suspension, we're talking about safety airbags. Smart airbags to be exact. No, this doesn't mean your airbags will do your homework for you, lol. It means that our airbags know when to deploy, how to deploy, and at what speed depending on the type of accident you are having.

Unfortunately, most accidents today involve more than one major impact. We usually get hit on one side, then the car heads another direction and hits a guard rail, a wall, whatever. These smart airbags are designed to deploy on the side of collision, and save the other bags for other collisions. If you don't need those bags, they don't deploy, and you save a ton of money on repair costs (sometimes a car can be totaled because of the cost of airbag replacement).

Another important safety feature on our cars are the pressure sensors. The doors have sensors mounted in them to measure a spike in air pressure. If the air pressure of the door increases, it is being squeezed (collision). This automatically triggers the airbags to go off, milliseconds faster than the competitions airbags. It may not seem like much time, but a millisecond is a lifetime during an accident. Just another example of how safety is in our DNA!

GTI W12

A few years back, VW got a chance to build a special GTI. It was kind of a mosaic of the parts of many of their performance brands. They put together, ehat they called, the GTI W12. Sporting a 12 cylinder twin turbocharged engine, this 640 hp Golf is definitely unique!

Eat the Road! No, Seriously, Eat It.....

So VW has come up with a new advertising scheme that sounds pretty interesting. How do you show everybody that the new Golf R can eat up the road? Well, how about making an edible stretch of road for customers to eat? Done. In South Africa's Auto Trader magazine, customers will find an advertisement challenging them to eat up the road like the Golf R does. This particular road is made from glutinous rice flour, water, salt, propylene glycol, FD&C colour, and glycerine; making this the easiest road to chew we've ever seen. However, the Golf R seems to think asphalt roads are just as easy to chew. Mmmm.... Asphalt.....

Golf Cabriolet Concept

Voklswagen has released a concept of what may evolve into a new Cabriolet, eventually. The car is built on a Golf platform, and sports the 265 hp, 2.0T currently in use in the Golf R, the fastest Golf ever produced. VW claims a top speed of 155 mph, and a 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. My Fast just did a backflip. In addition to obvious performance cosmetics on the exterior, the car sports a Golf R interior, a sport suspension, and some big old 19" alloys. Can't wait to see if this new soft-top will ever hit the streets!

Dub Collecter

How many of us have dreamed of having a car collection? If we did have one, what kinds of cars would we have? Well, I'd start with a Porsche Carrera GT, the VW Nardo Concept, and of course, the Lamborghini LP 670. But, what about if they were all Golfs? What if they were all really fast Golfs? And really pretty Golfs? Okay, okay..... you get the idea. And of course, we can't have a Dub Luv video without the tight tunes! Check out this clip from our fellow Dubbers on the other side of the pond, and remember to hurry in to place your order! The R is extremely limited, and we are running out fast! Enjoy!

MoRRRRReeee PooowwweeeRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Okay, so we all know that the 2012 Golf R is the fastest production Golf VW has ever released. It definitely satisfies the dub lovers out there with heavy feet. But what about the dub lovers whose feet are made of lead (or neutron star for that matter)? Well, a well known VW/Audi performance company ran into that same problem. Thus, they built the RRRRRRRocket.

Golf R App!

Check out this new iPad app for the Golf R. It goes into the history of the car, the design and designers, and even goes into what puts the R in Golf R. As an additional bonus, the app also gives you an inside look at Waterfest, the largest VW/Audi show in the United States! Check it out now!

The Soft Spot

Many people start with a VW as their first car. Then times change, income changes, design changes, and so does life. But the best part about VW stays with you. It's more than just a car. It's THE car. That's why it will always hold that soft spot in your heart. Legendary hot rod designer Chip Foose (Foose Design, Overhaulin, etc.) shares his story.

Too Fast For Police (Literally)

No, I don't mean running from the police, either! Take a look at whats left of Volkswagen's beautiful Golf R. This happened to a British police officer while test driving the car. Apparently their local police force thought it would be a great idea to use a Golf R as an unmarked car (due to its superb handling characteristics and its versatility). While taking the car out one night for testing, this happened. The incredible thing is, the driver survived and was treated for a minor spinal injury. That's a strong car! Das Auto.
