Shawn van Neer - CEO...Owner...Part time exotic car model...ewww!

To say that I was born with a wrench in my hand, isn't that far from the reality. Despite little encouragement from my high school shop teacher, I started following my passion for cars since 1986. Ever since, I've either been fixing, building or tearing them apart and plotting my next design. In the last twenty years, through a lot of hard work, I've been fortunate to earn a reputation as being one of the best tuners in the business.

In 1992 with Rons Parts, I began my infamous reign upon the Volkswagen community. With fatherlike leadership from Ron Johnson, the owner of Rons's Parts, I was permitted to shop the plethora of parts in the facility to create many of the worlds first

and most extreme Volkswagen conversions after hours and late, late into the night. Somehow European Car Magazine caught wind of the insanity and began to publish us.

The pavement chewing conversions include the worlds most famous MK1 VW "Thunderbunny" (Giant Killers) The 'flame spitting' G60 Cabriolet (Northern Lights) Worlds first VR6 MKII conversion (Northern Lights).

I started thinking about the next challenge and decided that forming Momentum Motorsport would give me the independence to create my own dream which manifested itself as VW Beetle...Once again my work received attention from international publishers such as European Car magazine, "Momentus Momentum" Winter 1998 and Euro Tuner "G-Spots" Winter 2000.

After Momentum my brain started churning again and Kinetic Motorsport was ignited. Focusing on design and manufacturing of performance turbo kits while continuing to build high profile and international custom show cars like the 1988 VW GTI, publilshed in August 2006 Issue of Eurotuner Magazine "kinetic Energy" and the 2002 VW 337, published in Eurotuner Magazine "Kinetic Q Ship", July 2008.

2010 now finds Shawn van Neer in his new arena... VND Motorsport. "It brings together all of my passion, hands on experience and the quality of work that I would like to contribute to the industry." We look forward to building new projects with you in the future!
