The statements – Quotes on the Arteon
Hans-Joachim Stuck, racing driver and Volkswagen Motorsport representative:
- “The Arteon R is simply a car made for every area of life, whether you enjoy a sporty driving style, love heading to the race track, undertake a lot of long journeys, or have your family with you – the car is ideal for everything.”
- “The new front end looks incredible. Two impressive features are the new large air intakes, which serve two important functions: firstly, they are important for the radiator; if the vehicle is travelling at high speed, water needs to be cooled properly. And secondly, the cooling system is important for the new brake system, which is now bigger and better. The brake has to be steady, I need to be able to get a good feel for how the pedals move. And the new Arteon R does all this to great success.”
- “The all-wheel drive, the electronic differential lock on the front axle, torque vectoring – all of these elements help to increase stability in the Arteon R. You can take fast bends on the motorway with a great deal of precision. The vehicle doesn’t budge. And when you need more traction coming out of the bend, then the power is always transferred to the rear axle, the place where it is really needed.”
Jan Schiedek-Jacht, Head of Technical Development, Volkswagen R:
- “We have combined the 320 PS engine and its torque of 420 Newton metres with the R Performance all-wheel drive. This system enables power from the rear wheel drive to be seamlessly distributed between the two rear wheels. This not only improves ride stability, but also significantly boosts the driving dynamics in particular.”
- “A powerful drive system also calls for powerful brakes. This is why the Arteon R
is equipped with a standard 18-inch brake system on the front axle, with brake discs measuring almost 36 centimetres in diameter.”
Peter Jost, Head of Marketing & Sales, Volkswagen R:
- “The Arteon R impresses with its agility, outstanding design, premium finish, everyday suitability and elegance.”
- “The athleticism of the Arteon R is emphasised by the option to increase the maximum speed to 270 km/h. What is clear is that this unique vehicle is enhancing the already attractive range of R models and represents yet another asset to the Volkswagen brand.”
