2025 VW T-Roc Spotted Testing in Southern Europe as Early Mule

In April of this year, Volkswagen confirmed that the next-generation T-Roc will be one of their last combustion-powered models. The new T-Roc is expected to debut in either 2024 or 2025, but development work has already begun on this crossover. Today, we have the first spy photos of the 2025 T-Roc, which is currently being tested as a mule.

These photos were taken in Southern Europe during the early testing phase of the next-gen T-Roc. As you can see, the vehicle currently resembles a modified Golf Mk8 with a raised suspension and wider wheel arches. There is also a distant photo of the cabin, giving us a glimpse of a temporary dashboard layout with an instrument cluster housed in a large casing.

Pontiac Firebird And Trans Am Barnfind Holds Amazing Muscle Cars

Welcome to a place where Pontiac Firebirds and Trans Ams find their final resting place. Located in Iowa judging by the license plates on some of the cars, this incredible location is filled with abandoned muscle cars.

In a video without voiceover, viewers can enjoy the sound of nature while witnessing numerous Firebirds and Trans Ams. The clip begins with the cinematographer walking through a row of cars, ranging from decent condition to mere shells.

The collector who assembled this collection appears to have a preference for second-generation Firebirds. While other iterations are present, they are not as abundant.

The barns house the rare cars. For instance, there are two Turbo Trans Ams parked side by side. These models were exclusively available in 1980 and ’81.

In another building, there is a Super Duty 455. Produced in 1973 and ’74, these models came with a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine that was more powerful than other versions offered by Pontiac. With an impressive output of 290 horsepower, these cars were ahead of their time.

To recap, the second-generation Firebird and Trans Am were in production from 1970 to 1981. While they shared underpinnings with the Chevrolet Camaro, they had unique styling and engine options. The Trans Am was the high-performance variant and gained fame through its appearance in the movie “Smokey and the Bandit” in 1977.

In addition to the cars, this collection also contains every Firebird or Trans Am part imaginable. Complete engines are scattered throughout the location, and there are stacks of wheels as far as the eye can see. Inside the main garage, there are neatly organized pallets with engine cylinder heads, intakes, and transmissions.

The collector’s interests also extend beyond Pontiacs. The main garage is home to a mid-1950s Ford, a late ’50s Mercury, and a classic hot rod. The collection even includes a Triumph Spitfire, one of the few non-American cars in the mix.
