Search by car: VOLKSWAGEN Passat

For more than 40 years Volkswagen's middle class model has been the Passat which is built in Germany. It is derived from the Audi 80 and came on the market in 1973. One year later the estate version could be ordered and the coupé variant, the Passat CC, wasn't available until 2008. Optically the current generation has hardly anything in common with the first generation and is a lot larger. The design of the first generation was by the Italian designer Giugiaro which contributed to the success of this generation. The basic variant of this car cost less than 10,000 DM. Customers could choose between 55, 75, and 85 bhp. The first facelift was in 1977 and later additional engines like the GLI with 110 bhp, which reached a speed of 185, followed. This Passat generation was sold In this country until 1980, the production in Brazil was, however, continued for a few years. Today the Passat has, depending on the motorisation, up to 300 bhp and is limited to 250 km/h. This can tempt one to fast driving on the motorway or in corners. In cases like this not the engine power and the chassis setting are important - but also the Volkswagen Passat tyres have an influence on the stability. High performance tyres offer a lot of grip and enable short stopping distances even for a sporty driving style. You're looking for this kind of Volkswagen Passat tyres?
