The Wörthersee gathering continues as Audi has taken the wraps off a customized A5 Sportback g-tron. Dressed in dark grey paint, the one-off model has blue accents in the headlights and stylish two-tone alloy wheels which are backed up by a braking system with blue calipers. Designers also installed a blue honeycomb rear wrap, a black rear spoiler, and tinted rear lighting units. Audi didn't have much to say about the interior but the picture shows the car has been equipped with leather and Alcantara seats, blue contrast stitching, and carbon fiber trim. The A5 Sportback g-tron was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year and it will become the brand's third model which can run on compressed natural gas. In this case, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter TSFI engine which produces 170 PS (167 hp) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque.

Volkswagen has used the annual Wörthersee gathering to unveil the new Golf GTE Performance concept.

Volkswagen has unveiled its bold Golf GTI First Decade concept ahead of its public debut tomorrow at the annual Worthersee meeting. The concept, the 10th created by VW apprentices for the Golf event, is powered by a small petrol engine delivering 404 hp through the front wheels and a 17 hp electric motor that drives the rear wheels. Volkswagen says that the car can be configured to be solely front wheel drive, run in all-electric rear-wheel drive mode or in combined mode where both the ICE and electric motor work hand-in-hand. To charge the two batteries in the rear of the hatchback, the 13 Volkswagen apprentices have designed a regenerative braking system. Visually, the Golf GTI First Decade stands out thanks to the dark blue and light blue livery, black and blue wheels, a rear spoiler from the GTI Clubsport and a number of badges reading ‘First Decade’ and ‘10’. In the cabin, blue trimmings can also be found, as can a 1,690-watt sound system with 11 speakers and a subwoofer....
