Anyone thinking of a B7 Sports Pack, can now visualise it!!

[FSI 220]

Hi All

Due to the Passat forum, I was one of the first persons to order a Sports Pack when I tripped over the thread started by Maverick.

I had to viasualise the wheels (which I have grown to like) but I have never been able to get a picture or render a fair representation of what my car is going to look like... The local VW Aust website has an option pack page on the passat that is not enabled, one would think this is where the sports pack will end up.

Until now... I tripped over this

Volkswagen Passat Exclusive has been announced

which is a german DM only spec .... but this spec has been issued with the Vicenza wheel also... A quick jump to the German wbsite and the Konfigurator...

Volkswagen Deutschland The "exclusive" is already there!

Pick my colour, chuck on the sunroof... viola I can finally see what my car will look like with THOSE WHEELS! shame I can't get to hosting web pages from work so I can post it up! I'll see what I can do when I get home...

Pity we dont get the 15mm lower ride hight on our sports pack....

I spent some hours accumulating all the info & pics I have over recent months so here are a few of them to look at. Some video's are also available on Youtube...

The 3rd last interior pic show the Sport seats, the 2nd last pic is all three interiors available in Australia, standard 118TSi, Highline 125TDI & V6, Highline Sport TDi & V6. Notice how nicely sculptured the Sport pack seats are, especially the rear.... The last pic is my car though I am still considering changing the wheels to the V6's Kansas 18's....


















Can't wait for my Passat to arrive with the Sport pack.........:cool:

Nice! Wheels look great mate.

I'm more jealous about the silver "exclusive" floor/door trim... Really not digging the light blue Passat trim on the standard TDI. It's the only part of the car i don't like, everything else is sweet as.

Hm, wonder if i can buy the trim only.

Hey a white one! Good catch Rick... photos of a real white one.

Anyhow , using the German Konfigurator, I got this (first go at embedding, see if it works!) Didn' t work! editing to links

I must say that it looks very nice! Side on, it almost has a Volvo V50 (which I think looks quite nice) look from side on with the slightly shorter looking overhangs compared to the previous Passats. It may not have shorter overhangs, but it looks that way.

The photo that is dead side on looks like it has been taken through a somewhat fish eyed lens, those overhangs do look more compressed than reality... still... i think it looks fantastic... but then again I have over 50k of skin in the game

I'm really liking those wheels, and the wagon just looks sensational in white!

Seats look the shizz, are they still nappa leather? Any idea how much the sports pack will cost in AU?
