WOLFSBURG: Tanner Foust, an American racing driver, stunt man and presenter, is now the brand ambassador for Volkswagen R brand around the world.
He’s a four-time Rallycross Champion, winning his most recent title in 2019 behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Beetle R. The Volkswagen pilot also has two championships in “Formula Drift” under his belt, along with four gold medals at the X-Games.
“The Beetle R is the most fun office you could have. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind vehicle. 2019 was the last year that this Beetle appeared in a race," said Foust.
The 46-year-old is actively involved in the coordination and approval process for new Volkswagen R vehicles.
"Tanner is a great fit for us and represents everything that Volkswagen R stands for around the globe – in a charismatic and authentic manner,” says Jost Capito, Managing Director at Volkswagen R. “His expertise is also a genuine advantage for the development and optimisation of R models.”
