Volkswagen has already announced its plans to take over the automotive world by 2018 and it looks like it wants to do so by releasing 60 all-new and updated models over the next five years.
Despite the European market mess, the Germans reported a total sales increase of 5.1 percent in first quarter 2013 and company CEO Martin Winterkorn claims Volkswagen is ready to take over Toyota and General Motors.
"The European debt crisis remains a source of far-reaching turmoil. Regardless of whether we are in an upturn or a downturn, our goal is to ensure the Volkswagen group reaches the top of the automotive industry,” said Winterkorn.
Volkswagen’s boss refrained from unveiling precise details, but revealed, as we already reported, that the company is also planning to introduce a high-performance diesel engine and a 10-speed dual clutch transmission.
