Forge Motorsport Releases Alloy Radiator for Golf GTI Mk7

Forge Motorsport’s range of precision tuning parts for hot VWs continues to grow at an ever-more impressive rate, and the latest design to emerge from the company’s Gloucestershire R&D division is this stunning ‘OEM+’ radiator for the sharply styled VW Golf Mk7 GTI.

Forge’s engineering team looked long and hard at the factory design in order to create an uprated and larger part that still fits on the stock mounts, with no cutting or trimming of any sort required. This new radiator is a vast improvement over the efficacy of the OEM part and uses a thicker core with greater thermal efficiency to improve the capacity of the car’s cooling system.

This is ideal for installation on tuned or competition vehicles, or where an uprated intercooler has been installed that might restrict airflow. As you might expect from Forge, although the part is made to their usual motorsport quality, this unit is still compatible with vehicles fitted with air conditioning.

As standard, the radiator comes with black end tanks and a silver core to replicate the OEM look. If required, drivers can choose and even more stealthy ‘all black’ finish for those that want to be cool and utterly subtle all at the same time.

As well as an improved flow path, Forge’s engineers have maximised the surface area and utilised a high efficiency radiator core with a unique flow enhancement to ensure that the coolant passes evenly across the core and that the area of restricted airflow (behind the crash bumper) is taken into account.

The Forge Golf Mk7 Radiator has been carefully designed to bolt in as a direct replacement to the OEM part in a short time, with the most simple of hand tools. It is priced at £577.00 + VAT.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

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...
