We’re pleased to welcome Rotiform onboard as a Performance Partners for 2025. We’d like to think we played a small but significant part in getting the brand off the ground all those years ago. Be quick if you want to take advantage of this exlusive print/digital package.

We couldn’t be happier to announce APR as our first Performance Partner for 2025, continuing our long-standing relationship with the global tuner. To find out more about this package that utilises the entirety of Performance VW’s multi-media portfolio, email [email protected]

This month’s cover car is a 950bhp 2.5T Mk7.5 R. Inside we check out a Mk2 24v VR6, a pair of bonkers B1 Passat drag racers, plus a stunning ’64 21-window Samba. We also have coverage from America’s L’oe Show and SEMA, plus we explain everything there is to know about camshafts.

This month’s cover car is the legendary all-wheel-drive, turbocharged Zonker Mk2. Inside we have Lee Wilson’s 2.0T S3-powered 4x4 Mk1, Dave Henderson’s S3 drag car and Wayne Collier’s turbocharged 24v Mk4, plus much more….

Give our buddy Tom @MeguiarsUK a vote for his stunning Mk2 cover car…

[Hagerty UK @HagertyUK]

Which one gets your vote? You have just 2 days to make your decision...
The winning car will then be fighting for the UK win with nine other finalists at #RADwood on 2nd September, each hoping to be one step closer to becoming a genuine Hot Wheels scale model!

Over with @HPTuners and @ASuttonRacing racing this morning over at @SilverstoneUK as he shakes down their Golf R.

Coming to a feature in @pvw_mag very soon!

Mark Fisher, owner of this month’s cover car, started with arguably the best Mk5 GTI model produced (the Edition 30) and achieved one of the most comprehensive Mk5s we’ve seen. While so much changed, somehow Mark managed to retain the original car’s character. What a creation!

Filming a festive video with Fast Car today. Coming soon…

The latest @pvw_mag cover car is this street legal (!) Mk3 with two turbocharged VR6 engines and 2,100whp despite Colorado altitude. Hard not to admire the unwavering dedication to cause that goes into this sort of machine. In shops now…

[Hawx7 @Hawx7G]

Stumbled across this gem today - Dec 06! Mk2 madness edition of @pvw_mag!!! It's pretty much pristine too! Darent open for fear of wallet becoming lighter! What an edition this was though!

[Performance VW Mag @pvw_mag]

The August issue just dropped today online and in shops and it includes a whole bunch of awesomeness; @andy_rs3r’s 700bhp 7R, @jasonbalaze’s Mk1 16v show winner, @vagcafe’s Stage 3 Tiggy and Greg Marvin’s Rad Rabbit, @edition_38’s Early Edition and a 10-detailing guide @gtechniq

[Alex Grant @alexgrantuk]

Growing up reading @pvw_mag, I didn't imagine that I'd get a little feature about me, or that it would happen to land on my 38th birthday. Perhaps the most complicated selfie I've ever taken - with some thoughts on journalism, modding EVs, and the value of finding common ground.

[SA Camp Fest @SA_CampFest]

Check out the latest @pvw_mag for coverage on South Africa's impressive @vagcafe Volkswagen Tiguan build. 🙌🏼❤

Ecstatic to be sponsoring the @FalkenTyres Mk7 in this weekend's Nurburg 24 hour race.

Head over to @24hNBR to watch the race and build up live. Good luck to the all-German driver line up...

Watching the Nürburgring 24hrs this weekend? This is the car to cheer for. Following a concatenation of awesomeness, we’ve got some great big @pvw_mag logos on there 💃🏼
