Volkswagen debuts the iBeetle at the Shanghai Auto Show
The iBeetle is first Volkswagen with newly developed docking station and a special iPhone® application
Wolfsburg / Shanghai – Two iconic products will form an alliance later this year: the iPhone from Apple, and the Beetle from Volkswagen. The iPhone will interface with the Beetle and Beetle Convertible via a specially developed app and a docking station. The iBeetle is the first model line from the Volkswagen Group in which the iPhone will become an integrated component.

But BMW, Land Rover and VW, with complete dedication and unwavering direction, waxed and polished their respective templates over generations. They’ve reached the point where they define their classes and make all their rivals seem like mere impersonations. Continue reading
Volkswagen Wins 2013 WRC Rally Mexico
Victory in Mexico – Volkswagen and Ogier in a league of their own
By: Jamie Vondruska
16 stage wins and a lead of three and a half minutes: Sébastien Ogier (F), at the wheel of the Volkswagen Polo R WRC, won the third round of the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Altitude, heat, hundreds of thousands of fans – alongside co-driver Julien Ingrassia (F), Ogier dominated the Rally Mexico from start to finish to claim his second win of the season, following the duo’s success at the Rally Sweden.
