1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Retro Review
MotorWeek’s Retro Reviews are a fun look into the past with regards to automobiles. If you’ve never watched one of these short videos you are in for a treat today! This episode takes a look at the 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon and its unique design and features.
The design of the Vanagon was very European for the time most notably by having the front seats directly over the front wheels. A feature that American drivers had to get used to in terms of driving and handling. Because of the wheel placement the vehicle had a very short turning radius, but because of it’s boxy shape, the Vanagon could be difficult to handle in a crosswind. You might also be wondering where the engine is, since there is clearly no room in the nose of the Vanagon. The engine is actually located in the rear of the van underneath the storage area. The battery is located in a compartment under the front passenger’s seat. It was similar in size to many of it’s contemporaries and offered a starting price around $12,000. To see the Vanagon in action simply watch the video below!
In the more than six decades since the iconic Volkswagen Beetle was first introduced it has continued to be one of the most popular models in the brand’s lineup.

At the beginning of September, the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team headed to Barbados for a doubleheader GRC race weekend. This weekend proved to be quite a successful one for the team as drivers Tanner Foust and Scott Speed claimed a one-two finish in both races. This now makes it the fourth time that the pair has completed a race weekend with double podium finishes. For both races, Foust claimed first place in his No. 34 Rockstar GRC Beetle and Speed followed right behind him to claim second place in No. 41 Merchant First GRC Beetle.
“What an amazing weekend,” exclaimed Foust after collecting his second win. “We didn’t start out as the quickest car either day, but the Volkswagen Andretti team worked incredibly hard to improve the cars, and it paid off with this awesome pair of wins! If you had told me going into LA that we’d have a legitimate shot at the championship, I would never have believed you. But, here we are, thanks to some great teamwork and perseverance”.
With such an impressive weekend for the team, they have now solidified their first-place standing in the 2015 Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship as they prepare for the season finale race which will be held in Las Vegas next month.
