VOLKSWAGEN COMMERCIAL VEHCILES is wowing the crowds at this year’s Volkswagen Racing Cup with the second generation Caddy TDI Racer. This exciting vehicle will

be raced for the majority of this season by Peter Wyhinny, Head of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, continuing the immense success of its predecessor, the original Caddy TDI Racer. That vehicle is believed to be the first ever diesel racing van in the world, with top-ten finishes showing just how competitive a van can be.

The new Caddy has been built and developed by Volkswagen Racing at its Milton Keynes HQ, using the advanced Volkswagen 2.0-litre TDI 16-valve engine – as seen in the new Golf GT TDI – but modified to give 231 PS and 335 lbs ft of torque. This is the most powerful diesel engine that Volkswagen Racing has ever raced in the UK.
