The origin of Volkswagen Marine Engines may be called idealistic, but that is not uncommon at Volkswagen. After all, our motto in car design is "out of love for the automobile". Many detail prove that, similarly, our marine engines were designed "out of love for marine power". In our case, that may be taken literally as the conception of our gleaming white engines originated in the heads of passionate yachtsmen who were part of our team from the beginning. Consequently, there is no tolerance among us for outdated, cheap or environmentally unacceptable solutions.
