Volkswagen Chattanooga has achieved yet another company milestone with the production of its 500,000th Passat. The monumental Passat was a Candy White Limited Edition with black inside, 170hp, a 1.8-liter turbo engine, and a long list of other features.
“Our Passat has raised the bar on what Americans can expect from a mid-size sedan and the 500,000th car was built with the same passion for detail as the first,” Christian Koch, President and CEO of Volkswagen Chattanooga. “I’m proud of our team and excited about new products on the horizon in this factory,” Koch said.
Volkswagen Chattanooga is presently undergoing a $900 million expansion to allow for a second model to be produced in Chattanooga. This expansion to produce a 7-seat midsize SUV would create 2,000 jobs and a special North American Engineering and Planning Center.

Volkswagen Begins Development On New Racing Golf
Volkswagen TCR-Golf
Volkswagen Motorsport has begun development on its first race car built from the seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf. The concept car packs 330-hp and is put together under TCR regulations in order to help the brand properly judge the potential customer racing program in 2016 and beyond. The cars will be tested for the rest of the season and two cars will race during the eighth round of the Touringcar Racer International Series (TCR) at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
“The newly created TCR category provides a promising platform for customer racing – on a national and international level. With exciting races, production-based technology, and reasonable costs, it offers a new outlook for private racing teams,” said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Jost Capito. “When developing the Golf-based concept car, we are able to fall back on the resources at Volkswagen. This reduces both development time and costs. We will also use the rest of the season to test the car under competitive conditions and evaluate a possible customer racing project from 2016.”
Volkswagen Sets Driving Record Yet Again
Yet again, Volkswagen of America is proud to announce that they’ve set another astounding record. What makes it even more impressive is that the record wasn’t only an achievement for just Volkswagen, but it was also a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® accomplishment. The 2015 Golf TDI® Clean Diesel now holds the world record for “lowest fuel consumption-48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car”. With an average of an amazing 81.17 miles per gallon, over the course of 8,233.5 miles through 16 days, the 2015 Golf TDI® Clean Diesel consumed only $294.98 of diesel fuel.
“Covering 8,233.5 miles on just 101.43 gallons of Clean Diesel fuel is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen’s TDI® Clean Diesel vehicles,” said Michael Horn, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “Whether on a long road trip or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. It’s a simple formula: Less Stop, More Go!”
What makes it even more interesting is that the record that Volkswagen topped was its own record. Prior to the latest record being set, the 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI held the record at an incredible 77.99 mpg.
