Exploring Volkswagen's Secret Storage Warehouse - Race Cars, Concepts, Prototypes!

[@RobFromRI]

i would watch a 10 hour tour where you do a deep dive into each car

[@lane6542]

me too, this collection is so damn interesting

[@isaaccan3155]

Same.

[@riversider2506]

Actual Facts 🤞 💯 🏁

[@michaelireland7239]

i can beat that id watch a 20 hour video whilst sipping my bavarian bier

[@konakingkahuna]

The same here.

[@isaaccan3155]

I’m a total VW nerd and would watch 100 hours of this.

[@maverick4177]

That British officer who got the VW plant back up and running was Major Ivan Hurst of the Royal Engineers…….a man all us VW nuts have much to thank for!

[@JamieOrr]

Indeed, and well said, thank you! I misspoke by referring to a ‘officer’ as a generic term for member of the army, you’re correct that he was a Major. Thanks!

[@bealzibub4002]

He was born and last lived about 5 miles from me

[@moza7826]

Don't forget Adolf Hitler in VW history

[@p-rob6275]

I could spend hours looking at these cars and it would never get old…

[@issacnewton9443]

If I made a huge car collection, half would look like this. The other half would be 60's Muscle cars and a few trucks. So many amazing cars there!

[@sixoh_diesel5662]

Kristofferson's Rallycross Polo was amazing, his launch control on that car was absolutely dialed. Won a few Championships in that car!

[@debbienye6002]

wow. just wow. I could spend hours there, drooling over each one!

[@TheZuma1972]

Should've gone to work but couldn't stop watching - Thank you Jamie

[@Bernhard3190]

Finally information about the brown Golf VI!. Didn't know that it had a VR6 in it. You should have taken a look inside, completely covered in leather. Dream car!

[@ytc3773]

Can you link me a website to more info? Was this a MK6 R32 production model scrapped for the 4 cylinder turbo R? So confused.

[@achimohmeis4617]

@@ytc3773 AFAIK is the MK 6 R swap to a R36 BiTurbo with the HGP-BiTurbo Kit. It's a Tuner Model.

[@iam_anderdingus]

What an absolutely amazing facility - could spend hours here. Surprised there are so few buses being stored here 🤔

[@nobatteriesincluded3968]

I felt like a kid in a candy store feeling watching this thanks great content 💯

[@riversider2506]

FACTS 🤞 💯 🏁

[@isaaccan3155]

My dad had a 77 Rabbit. Vw had to buy it back because of mechanical issues. I’ve seen a few pics of it and I love it.

[@ntokozomagida9594]

Never knew such history about VDUB. Such a fan!😎

[@martijnnieuwenhoff4474]

I miss the golf mk2 GTS. It makes my heart melt to see all those vw’s👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@peterdavies9209]

So cool! The blue beetle RSI is the only one, the rest were all silver. It was built for Ferdinand Piech. Also the WRC 6r polo that you said was a sticker pack actually are pretty cool, they have a 2.0tfsi EA113 engine

[@mydude96eu38]

yeap, 220hp if i'm not wrong

[@verheydenyannic3590]

Yes 220hp stock :) i have one

[@MrTruthwillout]

Yes, one RSI in blue. There were 4 Cup racecars finished in the same colour for the Juniors team back in 2000 IIRC

[@myrmeko]

As a MK3 Syncro owner, i'm surprised by the lack of a MK3 Syncro. :/ It was basicaly what became the Golf R if you think about it. The MK3 Syncro came from factory with the GTI 8V engine. And no VR6 either. And no VR5. Or even the GTD's. They are lacking quite a few important models.

[@zzhughesd]

Aha. I too have a Vw 2 Cyl Diesel !!!! Didn’t know VW had done before in a Polo. Mine does 313 MPG

[@nubtv8545]

Oh man...... Thanks everyone that made that video possible!!!!! Wild!

[@earlygamer9106]

I miss one… golf 5 gti with the w12 engine and the crazy body it had 🧢

[@fernando__bueno]

I think there is only one produced and it is at the Autostadt museum

[@i976scirocco3]

Killer collection of all the VWs I've ever wanted

[@Lewis_Treff97]

What a collection. I would love to visit and see all this one day. No Mk7 Golf R-line in that collection though 😂

[@darekbowman9386]

Cause the mk6 is the best R

[@AlexTaylorGTI]

Must say I'm very jealous! Utterly in love with the red Edition 30 and yellow Pirelli 😍😍

[@alasdairmclean1655]

Tough choice - if i had to pick one - Golf Rallye - always loved them. Currently have a MK3 VR6 and a Mk5 R32.

[@Pellsenberg]

I saw that RSI cabrio in a pic you posted forever ago, what a critter, holy cow! 3.2 AWD with a folding roof. 😍

[@dextro3479]

finally seeing more polo wrcs😍

[@DoubleApexSA]

Polo WRC wasn't just a sticker kit, check the FIA homolgation docs. Also, that orange off-roader was the precursor to the Touareg Dakar programme, so a pretty significant car as well.

[@JamieOrr]

You’re totally right on the Polo WRC street car - and I should have given it more of a nod. I just always wish it looked ‘cooler’ on the outside, to match the engine, seats, and other fun things it got. Just a personal opinion, and I’m probably wrong about that 😅😅 The owners are awesome, I saw a gathering of them in Wolfsburg at the GTI Festival there, and it was a very impressive display 😀

[@DoubleApexSA]

@@JamieOrr the Polo WRC edition uses a different front bumper as well. WRC rules call for the same (external) total length on the road car as the racecar. So VW made this limited run to extend the length of the car it wanted to race. It's also a bit sad there are no SA-special VWs there. We made quite a few SA-only models that would fit right in with that lot.

[@dallas4616]

Really wish this was longer, looking at each car.

[@jackcampbell5443]

Great VW footage Jamie. I just happy to see them all on viedo..

[@shannonpinkard3202]

I fully believe I could spend over 10 hours in there. Keep the videos coming!!

[@veedubgeezer]

Sad to see the Mk3 A59 prototype missing from their collection. As an aside, the "jubilee" models were called Anniversary here. The Mk3 next to the Mk4 was a 20th Anni. It's a shame the Mk2 wasnt a Campaign.

[@sv_cheats1970]

There are A59's in VW possesion just not there

[@franktatham5538]

VW UK have a nice collection they like to bring out on occasion, especially at the training centre.

[@tensevo]

VW has a priceless car collection.

[@rov5308]

This is so good to see how people at vw used to just get what they wanted in their cars, I’m surprised a couple aren’t there, the 2015-17 polo gti I thought would be being the last manual polo gti, the WRC polo is also cool and quite rare, 2.0 turbo from the golf making it the most powerful production polo still to this day.

[@KevMk3]

The knowledge you have is amazing and fascinating

[@vwheelswap]

Incredible to be able to see it. Thanks for sharing. 😍😊

[@anicrow]

I drive a GTI and all but am not a die hard VW guy. That said, this is an extremely exciting room of cars. Def the most exciting room of VWs I've ever seen.

[@dorkultra]

this is completely bonkers, it means so much that they are preserving this much interesting history. I could watch this for hours

[@robertderboss9471]

Awesome video, I love the golf 24 from nordschleife it has a 5 zylinder

[@squarebackjedi]

Jamie, was there a mighty Alltrack in there? That’s my baby. Thanks for the tour!

[@kevinroberts361]

Awesome stuff !! I love Vdubs !! My first car out of college was an '85 GTI, got me hooked on VW's for sure. I have an 08 Touareg V8 w air suspension, it is a BEAST !!! I buy all my parts from FCPEuro !! Keep em coming dude, you have great knowledge of brand, impressive

[@doloresberry3144]

I could watch this for hours

[@obiknobi8447]

9:10 South Africa 🇿🇦 had these badged "16v" first in 1.8 small bumper, then 2.0 "jumbo" bumper.

[@dakavanagh]

I spotted that yellow Mk1 Scirocco and it reminded me of some marketing photos I have of a car just like that. I scanned them from slides another guy online sent me back in the mid 90's. I had a Mk1 Scirocco with an '84 GTI drivetrain installed (my 1st engine swap!)

[@maverick4177]

G60 golfs and Corrado had the PG engine and a 4 port supercharger, the golf Rallye got the 1H engine and a 6 port supercharger 👍🏻

[@zucods]

Dude, you skipped right over the brazilians! Hahaha! Brasília and Puma at 10:15. Awesome garage, a dream of a collection..

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Saw you with Misha the other day, then this popped up in my feed.......how could I not watch and sub!

[@bigkeg9173]

What an awesome collection 😊👍😊

[@edwarddeleeuw6013]

Very cool video i'm missing only one car , the Corrado

Amazing bucket list trip for sure

[@gafrers]

Brilliant. We Need the 10 plus hours version

[@albertcars4001]

The mk2 rallye golf 16 valve shown on the video it’s one of the two units produced by VW motorsport when they produce the Limited Golf. Glad to see it alive!!!

[@garyoneil7858]

I NEED TO GO HERE!! I freakin love VW!!

[@Dan23_7]

Wow wow wow 😍😍 I’ve owned 2 Mk1 golfs, a tin top and a cabriolet, an A reg and B reg respectively. I had a mk2 4+E also (which I believe was rare. Having being away from the scene for about 12 years I’m now back in. Bought myself a yellow 2003 beetle, and me and the wife absolutely love it. I’ve been hunting for a yellow one for well over a year. This vid was epic mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽 I could watch 10 hours easily. I got to ask, can I hear a Scottish twang in your accent? New subby from over the pond 🇬🇧

[@JesusTorres-bd7mp]

Awesome place, a 1989 Vw Jetta Helios should be in that collection.... :)

[@bradwhite5884]

This looks so good, they should open a museum of all the VW's from old to new with one offs, concept designs, racing and so on along with everything else, haven't seen any of the old VW vans or such, but hope they preserve them all, lol

[@rolandsuch]

Some of these cars do appear at the Autostadt in rotation!

[@sandroaldibrandi9791]

Top the top is VW Corrado 2.9 VR6 VSR , the super unicorn car

[@trauma4393]

Hey my Quantum!!!! Lol had an identical us spec white one @11:15 just caught a glimpse lol. Miss that car. That whole building had to be just mind blowing to be in 🙌🙌🙌🙌

My goodness this is amazing. Thank you!

[@exarkunn69]

I’m surprised the GTI W12 wasn’t in there. The car Top Gear made famous and absolutely bonkers.

[@moeketsiseseng3639]

Would have been really appreciated if you delved into the Jetta/Bora mk4 vr6.. this was a Polo and Golf tour.. touched a bit on the Beetles and Scirocco models, bur anyone can tell your heart is with the hot hatches(Not a bad thing!), everyone has a VW favourite..

[@suzukiyakudze2131]

Great place with people's race cars, but kinda dark view, imagine how this can turn out documentary in bright video, will be looking for further details bout this garage man. Thanks a lot for sharing

[@gerdhermann752]

Golf 8 GTI race cars feature in the South African touring car championship....similar looking to the camo'ed Golf 8....also, the slim flat head lights of the Ralley Golf featured on the face lifted Mk 2 Jetta CLi in South Africa as well.

[@moza7826]

The ID R is an engineering masterpiece. Apparently the test drivers blacked out when driving it it stopped that quick

[@Jushwa]

Agreed, I didn't realize they stopped running them. It being fully electric I figured it's life was still early. Sad to see them just sitting in the corner but at least they are being well kept.

[@LaGarajShow]

Do a full walkthrough of the entire collection. Details of every car please. Would watch even if it is 10 hour long

[@breakingcycles741]

I miss VW being apart of WRC. I used to love seeing those little Polo's flying around. I feel like it's boring now without them.

Damn, that's a huge collection, even got the yellow Mk5 Golf GTI hidden in there! The real question though, was that yellow Golf GTI a Pirelli Edition?

I would do anything for a visit at this place. 😍 Have you been given any information about what happened to the 2017 spec Polo WRC Protoptype after the shutdown of VW Motorsport? I had the pleasure to see it at a test twice in 2016; it was a missile 😪

[@Levent_Ergun]

Actually Polo R WRC's street version uses a 2 liter engine, which Polo 6R/6C never came with from factory. So, not just a graphics package.

Man...the VW classic Dept should just get a 3d scanners and printers and autoclaves to make replica body kits for enthusiasts and track guys the world over. In South Africa, guys are building all sorts of VWs for all sorts of things...just like in Europe. Plust, they can make some money on the side to be able to do world tours with these cars...just load them in a jet and go expo to expo globally ...
