Dial 911 for VWoA

With Volkswagen of America’s move from Michigan to Herndon, VA, it was only a matter of time before VWoA started inserting themselves into the local community on as many levels as they could. What better way to get local recognition then to team up with the Herndon Police Department. In what will most likely only be a publicity parade, VWoA has donated two 2010 Passats in both Estate and Sedan variants to help keep the residents of Herndon safe … or on their toes.

To help up the police get the upper hand, VWoA called on their go-to team at APR to boost the Passat’s performance numbers to 250 hp and 299 ft-lbs of torque. VWoA then stepped in to upgrade the brakes all around to Passat 3.6 units as well as some OEM 18″ Velos alloys and dialed on on a set of coilovers set to “law-enforcement specifications”, whatever that may be. To bring the whole police package together, FMS Automotive was brought along to house all of the standard issue police communication equipment in OEM housings.

I hope to see one of these around sometime soon, albeit not in my rearview mirror, and maybe even get a good photoshoot out of it. I wonder how open the Herndon PD will be with their new toys.
