Welcome to the premium slant on the world of water-cooled Volkswagens, taking the form of a beautifully printed elegantly-bound book-like magazine – using carefully selected features to tell both the mechanical and human side to life with these cherished cars and the various cultures that revolve around them – blending a universally-loved brand with the wonders of art, travel and incredible moments in time.

The magazine delivers in-depth stories of both originality and speciality – many found on the road, others at the race track, some forever high up on a workshop ramp or static in a museum – shown alongside the people that own them and the places they call home.

The launch issue revisits the editor’s 2002 cross-North America search for a 10-second street race car, the time Kate Moss and a 1983 Golf GTI met one another at Glastonbury, the world-exclusive road drive of Volkswagen’s one-off W12-650, talk of the one that floats, and the definitive timeline of the legendary Porsche that masqueraded as a Golf – created in 1979 for an eventual Le Mans winner.

Proudly produced by former North America correspondent for The Golf magazine, international editor-in-chief for evo, and publishing editor of the celebrated pub title Doghouse and its award-winning interactive lifestyle companion RubberDuck.
