Find of the Day: 2003 Volkswagen Golf GTI 20th Anniversary

When it comes to the fourth generation GTI, they simply don’t get much more desirable than the Jazz Blue 20th Anniversary edition. And while we may not all agree on the whole ‘stance’ thing, this 20th pulls off the look quite well, fitting squarely into the “buy it built” category.

The list of modifications performed to this Jazz Blue GTI are quite lengthy, so rather than subject you to the entire list, we’ll just focus on a few of the more original cues. If you’re anything like us, the first thing you’d have noticed were the gen 1 Viper three spoke wheels measuring 17×9 and 17×10, respectively stuffed under this Mk4’s arches. It just might be the only Mk4 to run this setup in the world, and is distracting enough to take away from the many nips and tucks happening elsewhere on the exterior.

Moving to the interior, you’ll find a wood-grain Grant steering wheel, european ‘confetti’ Recaro seats and a rear seat delete. Aside from that, the interior has been largely left alone, and that’s not such a bad thing.

This 20th Anniversary GTI is currently for sale in our very own Classifieds section for $10,5000. Additional images and contact info can be found right here.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
