Volkswagen NASCAR Herbie Auto Show Photo

The schedule listed an “international debut” for Volkswagen, ensuring we combed through their booth of reinvigorated product. Cernter stage was a Jetta GLI, with the Ragster concept not far away. We were surprised to discover the new car is actually an old, familiar face. Herbie has returned for a role in an FX-laden film, timed to commemorate both Disney and VWs' 50th anniversary, 40 years after the first Herbie film was released. Famous number 53 is seen competing in a wide range of motorsports in “Herbie Fully Loaded,” including NASCAR. The car shown in NY is the special variation depicted reaching 190 mph in the movie. (Trivia: the related scenes were shot at California Speedway, the same facility used weekly by MT for performance testing.) The film opens June 24th, starring Lindsay Lohan, Matt Dillon, and Michael Keaton.
