2008 VOLKSWAGEN CC "GOLD COAST" EDITION review and pictures

VOLKSWAGEN CC "GOLD COAST" EDITION review:

The Volkswagen CC Gold Coast highlights powerful performance, strong lines and luxury touches, combining the emotional and expressive stance of a sports coupé with the convenience of a luxury sedan.

The CC Gold Coast builds upon the luxury sports coupe that debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show with luxury and performance extras like tri-coat paint, high-end interior appointments, and ground affects that enhance the sportiness of Volkswagen`s newest sedan.

The unmistakable Volkswagen front-end, with two cross-struts and a centrally placed Volkswagen logo between trapezoidal headlamps is highlighted by the ground effects on the CC Gold Coast. The CC Gold Coast features DuPont`s Pepe Pepper, which compliments the cars design characteristic with a rich mix of gold, brown and silver tones.

The rear end of the coupé is also marked by large-surface dual taillights that produce an unmistakable visual image day and night. A spoiler with additional rear-end ground effects helps further enhance the vehicle`s sporty nature. The CC Gold Coast sits on 19-inch Lugano polished propeller style wheels, which provide a combination of sharp style and improved curb appeal.

Volkswagen`s attention to detail is shown off in the interior of the CC Gold Coast with four ergonomically formed sport seats wrapped in luxurious leather, a combination of Latte Macchiatto, Cornsilk with Bronze Piping on the seats with matching accents on the dash and door trim.

With an eye on performance the CC Gold Coast edition features the 3.6L FSI, rated at 280 horsepower and 265lbs.-ft of torque, with the innovative DSG double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic®. The front brakes have been upgraded to the R8 Ceramic brakes and the vehicle rides on a KW coil over suspension.
