From zero to freedom. Europe’s best-selling SUV and the most successful Volkswagen vehicle worldwide today is now available in a Volkswagen R trim. Off-road or on, the new Tiguan R has the answer to almost everything. The all-rounder offers safety, comfort, and above all absolute performance on every journey – in town, along country roads and on the motorway – whether you’re driving to the office, running errands or need a reliable partner for the family holiday.
Shortly after placing his order, Trevor, a 65-year-old retired British Airways employee, received a phone call from his local retailer telling him he’d in fact bought the 10,000th Tiguan R.
His surprise soon gave way to delight. To mark the occasion, he collected his car from Brands Hatch – the legendary racetrack which hosted 14 Formula 1 Grand Prix between 1964 and 1986.
We couldn’t have asked for a more worthy winner “I’m a big Formula 1 fan, so this is perfect for me.” Trevor explained, “How many people can say that the first place they drove their new car was Brands Hatch?”
Before we let Trevor loose on the track, we held a special presentation in the circuit’s pit lane. Handing over the keys, complete with a specially engraved silver keyring, was Volkswagen’s Head of Marketing and Sales for the Tiguan R, Peter Jost.
After the handover, it was time to let Trevor take the Tiguan R out on the track. After a few passenger laps alongside a professional driver, Trevor took the wheel of one of our test Tiguan R models and put the 320PS four-cylinder 2-litre turbocharged engine through its paces.
Trevor was full of praise for Luke and Brooke “I can’t fault them from the first inquiry to today. It was time for me to go down in vehicle size, and the Tiguan R fits that bill perfectly.”
Watching from the sidelines were Luke Hanman, General Sales Manager at Marshall Gatwick, and Brooke Chapman-Smith, the Sales Executive who guided Trevor through his order. They were thrilled to see Trevor experience the car on the track. “Trevor came to us wanting to part-exchange his Touareg; he wanted something slightly smaller that was fun, but still practical” Luke explained “Brooke and I both love the Volkswagen R range, so we recommended the Tiguan R.”
Once he’d taken the Tiguan R for a spin around the track, Trevor reflected on the experience “It was a surprise when they told me that mine was the 10,000th Tiguan R and that a special event was being planned for the handover. I thought it would be at the dealership, but this is great. I guess I’ve had the luck of the draw, and I’ll take it!”
We’re incredibly honoured to have given Trevor a handover experience like no other and wish him many happy years in his history-making Tiguan R.
