After two decades of establishing ourselves as Melbourne’s premier independent specialist for Volkswagen, Audi, and Skoda vehicles, Volkstech is proud to announce an exciting expansion of our capabilities. We’re now offering specialised performance servicing for Porsche, Lamborghini, and Cupra vehicles – bringing our renowned expertise and commitment to excellence to even more of the automotive world’s most exciting machines.
The Natural Evolution of Excellence
This expansion isn’t just about adding new brands to our service roster; it’s the natural progression of our expertise and passion for precision engineering. The technical foundation we’ve built over 20 years with Volkswagen Group vehicles provides the perfect platform for servicing these performance-focused brands, each of which shares engineering DNA and technological innovations with our core specialties.
Robert and Manny’s decision to expand into Porsche, Lamborghini, and Cupra servicing reflects their commitment to staying at the forefront of automotive performance technology. Our state-of-the-art workshop and highly qualified team are perfectly positioned to handle the unique demands of these exceptional vehicles, maintaining the same standards of excellence our customers have come to expect.
Why Porsche, Lamborghini, and Cupra?
Shared Engineering Excellence
The connection between these brands and our existing expertise runs deeper than many realise:
Porsche and Volkswagen Group Synergy The relationship between Porsche and Volkswagen Group has created significant technological cross-pollination. Many Porsche models share platforms, engines, and electronic systems with Audi vehicles, making our existing diagnostic capabilities directly applicable to Porsche servicing. Our experience with VAG diagnostic systems translates seamlessly to Porsche’s sophisticated electronic architecture.
Lamborghini’s Audi Foundation Since Lamborghini’s acquisition by Volkswagen Group, many models have incorporated Audi-derived engines, electronics, and chassis components. The Huracán’s V10 engine, for example, shares technology with Audi’s R8, while the Urus SUV utilises MLB platform components found across the Volkswagen Group lineup. Our team’s deep understanding of these systems makes us uniquely qualified to service these Italian masterpieces.
Cupra’s Performance DNA As SEAT’s performance division (and SEAT being part of Volkswagen Group), Cupra vehicles are essentially high-performance variants of familiar Volkswagen Group platforms. The Cupra Leon, Formentor, and Born all utilise engines, transmissions, and electronic systems that our technicians know intimately from their work on Golf GTI, Audi S models, and other performance variants.
