Volkswagen loses

Maybe you didn’t even notice, but there was a Volkswagen in the Hardie Ferodo 500 at Bathurst.

And who could blame you? After all, with the big boys tearing around at 130 plus, getting about 8mpg and wearing tires out like fury there’s not much else to notice.

Nevertheless, there was a Volkswagen in the 500 and it did finish.

And while it was going around it averaged better than 20 mpg and there was still lots of rubber left on the original tires.

And over the 500 the Volkswagen averaged over 60mph.

So if you’re the kind of person that’s impressed by figures, test drive a VW.

Maybe we didn’t win.

But you will.
