By adding a variety of features that were previously only available on the Touareg SUV, Volkswagen looks to make the driving experience even easier than it was before. New features will include Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Parking Steering Assistance.
For the 2016 model year and depending on the model and trim, the CC, Golf, e-Golf, Golf R, Golf GTI, Beetle, Golf SportWagen, and Jetta will all be equipped with the various new features. The Beetle, Jetta, and Beetle Convertible, in particular, will all come equipped with the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System as a standard feature. Making things even better, 85% of Volkswagen models are not outfitted with standard rearview cameras, making them safer than ever.
Volkswagen has accomplished another memorable achievement with Rallycross driver Scott Speed bringing home back to back second-place finishes at Belle Isle Park in Detroit. After facing a multitude of mechanical issues, Speed battled his way back up close to the top.
“I wish they had let Sunday’s final run without a restart because I think we would have had a better shot, but Patrik (Sandell) had us by a little bit all weekend and deserved to win,” said Speed. “Coming away with two podium finishes is great for our championship points, and now we’ll be looking forward to the D.C. race and hopefully a win.”
The team’s other driver, Tanner Foust, also had an extremely impressive weekend until being unable to finish due to crashes.
Scott Speed & Tanner Foust Race RC and GRC
Scott Speed and Tanner Foust are best known for getting behind the wheel of Beetle GRC race cars as the main drivers of the Volkswagen Red Bull Rallycross team. Their love for racing, however, is not limited to Rallycross as a new video released by the brand shows. The two also have a love for RC racing. In the video, Scott Speed discusses how in his free time runs his own RC track and hobby shop. For Speed, this track is a beloved hobby that he shares with his family as his wife Amanda handles the books and his step-son helps to run their social media.
Speed shows off his skills on the RC track and then heads on over to his race at the base where he challenges fellow driver Tanner Foust to a grudge match with their RC cars which Speed had specially painted to resemble the actual Beetle GRC cars that they drive. Once they finished their RC racing, the two suited up and headed off onto the Rallycross track to do what they do best.
