MK6 Adidas special edition ??
« on: June 19, 2013, 01:30:26 pm »
Hey,

Just came across ebay on one of these as per subject.

Never knew they existed! looks like a MK6 with Adidas seats!  :sick:

It says it has ACC (adustable Chasis Control) - What the hell is that?!

Item no: 11100928733

Never been a fan of the adidas model, never will be.
It has a bit of a chavvy thing about it imo. Etto though.

Here's a bit about adaptive chassis control taken from the Volkswagen website.

ACC is an innovative system that allows you to choose the style of drive you want at any time. Three ride settings are offered - Normal, Sport and Comfort - all at the touch of a button in the centre console. This operates the electrically regulated dampers and steering. In Sport mode, for instance, relatively stiff dampers match the changed steering characteristics, offering a driving experience like that of an agile sports car. The damping also adapts itself to the respective road conditions. Each shock absorber is connected to a control which calculates the optimum setting for each wheel from the sensor data and other information received from the steering, braking, engine, transmission and driving assistance systems. This allows the ACC to react continually (up to a thousand times per second) to bumps in the road, changing lanes or bendy roads, reducing pitch and roll motion and provide the optimum settings for every driving situation.

Past: MY07/Mk5 Golf Match 1.9 TDI 105PS Manual Steel Grey Metallic
Present: MY13/Mk7 Golf GT 2.0 TDI 150PS DSG Tornado Red, MY14/2K Caddy Startline 1.6 TDI 102PS Manual Candy White

Basically all it has is the Adidas logo on the b pillar some Adidas seats and some special alloys called Serron (which now appear on the mk7 Golf). Think America and Europe got it (seen a German registered one in the UK)

alloys called Serron (which now appear on the mk7 Golf).

The Mk7 19" optional wheels are different and are called 'Santiago'.

The Serrons are 18's and seem to mainly be on 13plate 2.0 tdi's that are being advertised on autotrader by main dealers
