This is another one of those “what if” photoshop quickies. What if somebody would take a USDM Volkswagen Dasher 2-door sedan (Passat in other markets) and modify it? Slap on a set of overfenders, mount a set of coilovers and wheels in a size that has never been intended to be used on a front wheel drive car. Replace the anemic original engine with a 1.8T with a bigger turbo setup and build an exhaust with motorsport components. Once finished you should have a pretty fairly decent, water-cooled, Volkswagen. I suppose it’s safe to wager a bet that it would be the only such vehicle at any VW meet. Is there anyone crazy enough to tackle this build and take it to the Wörthersee next year?

With the 2012 Woerthersee Festival being held next weekend, I decided to post a couple of Volkswagen and Audi themed photoshop chops.

The Audi A1 Clubsport Concept was unveiled at the 2011 Wörthersee Car Show in Austria. The 1985 Audi quattro with the historic HB livery was my inspiration for this chop. Cigarette sponsoring has been illegal for quite a few years now, so I left the HB stickers off.

This is what my friend Gerd’s Volkswagen TL could look like. Some quick modifications in photoshop show the potential the car has. Fans of stock TLs don’t need to worry, though – the car is not going to be modified in real life.

The new Volkswagen Bakkie was introduced to the South African market on April 1st 2008. It is based on the Passat Variant and succeeds the Golf based Volkswagen Caddy Mk1.
Info: South Africans call pick-up trucks Bakkies. They are called UTE in Australia.

The Volkswagen Jetta Mk1 was neither a sporty nor a very elegant vehicle – but little modifications sometimes go a long way. I added the taillights from a Scirocco Mk2, extended the fender flares, lowered the ride height and added alloy wheels. Done, simple as that (and it even gives the rear a hint of BMW E21).

Another car from my childhood: the Volkswagen Passat Variant 1B Type 32. I cleaned the body a little, lowered the car and added wheels from a modern day Polo GTI.
