The Wörthersee festival is in full swing—perhaps you’ve read about some of the other hot-ass cars debuting there?—and here’s one more tuned VW for the attendees to gape at. The Golf Variant Biturbo is a one-off project that combines a couple of our favorite things: station wagons and sweet diesel power.
-Yes, it’s a Golf SportWagen—the Golf Variant in Euro-speak—with a 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged TDI motor bolted between the front wheels. Output stands at 236 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, which handily trumps the 184 horses and 280 lb-ft of the sporty VW GTD wagon we just drove. The Biturbo Edition also packs 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

As with the 396-hp VW Golf Dark Shine also appearing at the 2015 Wörthersee meeting, VW apprentices—fourteen of them, to be exact—are the alchemists behind this particular build. The exterior paint is called Alor Blue, and the hue also shows up on the engine cover, seats, door panels, dash trim, ambient lighting, and steering-wheel spokes. The headliner has been airbrushed with a night-sky motif that also includes a map of Saxony (the apprentices work at a VW facility in Zwickau), and there’s also an extendable cargo tray in the hatch area. We dig and we want—although we might go for a map of Ann Arbor on the headliner instead.
