This Week, Volkswagen Announced That It Will No Longer Produce Cars for Its Gol Line and Launches a Final Edition That Honors the Others

Volkswagen will cease production of cars from the Gol line after 42 years of history. As a farewell, the brand launched a model that pays tribute to the most famous cars it has ever manufactured for the Gol. Its Last Edition will have only 1,000 units and even honors the orbital wheel.

The Volkswagen Gol is the best-selling car in Brazil, with over 8 million units produced, and was the sales leader for 27 years. The 1,000 units of its final edition have already begun to be distributed to dealerships, and the brand claims it will not make a larger run, as it did with the Kombi Last Edition in 2013.

Volkswagen did not attempt to reproduce the same performance as the Gol GT, GTS, and GTi but activates the memory of its fans with visual elements. The black stripe painted on the rear connecting the taillights originated with the Gol GT in 1984, just as the Recaro seats inspired the gray fabric that covers the seats.

Volkswagen has not provided much technical information about the car. Still, it is likely to maintain the 1.0 MPI flex engine with 3 cylinders and 12 valves, generating 77 hp of power and 9.6 mkgf of torque with gasoline. With the use of ethanol, the figures rise to 84 hp and 10.4 mkgf. The engine works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Its equipment list is on par with the Gol Urban Complete. It includes air conditioning, power steering, mirrors with electric adjustment, turn signal lights, and tilt-down on the right side, onboard computer, rear parking sensor, and a 6.5” Composition Touch multimedia center with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The price of this last edition has not yet been disclosed.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

As the Trump name returns to the high-end real estate market, Ivanka Trump announces the Sazan project; Mediterranean island set to feature hotels, beaches, leisure, and exclusive residences.

Unemployed and with a child to support, Joab turned hot coffee into a fresh start: he wakes up at 2 a.m., sells on Anhanguera, lets drivers pay later through the “trust Pix,” and conquers the internet even when some continue their journey without depositing.

The explosion in Siberia, recorded on June 30, 1908, over Tunguska, released energy estimated between 10 and 15 megatons of TNT, devastated about 2,150 square kilometers of forest, knocked down approximately 80 million trees, and remains one of the biggest warnings about near-Earth objects.

Lock manufacturer from Rio Grande do Sul invests R$ 150 million to surpass R$ 1 billion in revenue, create 200 jobs, and double storage capacity, while choosing Santa Catarina to set up a new logistics center and speed up deliveries in Southern Brazil.

Automatic cars become ‘cheap’ in Brazil, and models from Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, and Honda appear for R$ 65,000 with up to 120 hp, CVT transmission, 482 liters of trunk space, keyless entry, and six airbags to tackle traffic without a clutch.
