A few days ago automotoportal showed you renderings and discussed features and specification of the 2012 VW Passat. Today, new spy photographs of the test mule have invaded the world wide web. We bring you images of the next Passat from the infamous Nurburgring circuit.


VW is counting on the Passat to do well so that they can move closer and probably put a stop to the dominance of the C-Class and 3-Series, who presently rule its territory. The next VW Passat looks like the right candidate for finishing the job with its unique features like airless tires and an advanced ESP program.

A 3.0-liter 300hp engine should provide enough thrust to propel it to magical speeds and the sales of course. The AWD system and advanced electronics on the top-end variants is planned to clinch victory from the jaws of the other German marques. Station wagon variants and hybrids are also in the works so expect fireworks from VW in the near future.
