    0 Ratings

    LAS VEGAS — Volkswagen's stand at the 2008 SEMA Show will focus on the new Passat-based CC "quad coupe" and the Tiguan compact crossover.

    Details will be revealed at the automaker's press conference on Wednesday. In advance of the formal unveiling, VW said it will show two versions of the CC and a performance-oriented Tiguan, as well as the 2009 Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition Concept.

    The Tiguan Performance Concept boasts a three-stage turbocharger kit that will hike output to 312 horsepower and torque to 319 pound-feet. VW has fitted an aero body kit and a Rockford Fosgate audio system.

    The CC Gold Coast Edition makes a second public appearance, following its debut in August at Pebble Beach, featuring a ground-effects body kit with a luxurious tri-coat finish. A second CC concept will be unveiled as well.

    VW also plans to unwrap the 2009 Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition Concept, based on the racing car and powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel that delivers 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque.

    Inside Line says: A relatively modest showing from VW. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
