The well-known rallycross champion and master of drifting, Tanner Foust, gets after the spectacular 544 PS wide body VW Beetle a new vehicle that appears this time in the form of a VW Passat. The Beetle's 544 hp is exceeded by the Passat with 900 hp. For Foust, who is considered one of the best drifters in the world, the Passat should be the optimal drift car. As with the Beetle, VW has dug extremely deep into its bag of tricks to get this Über-Passat up and running and to deliver the champion an adequate automobile. The factory team around VW has on this VW Passat made the following changes:
