VW Celebrates GTI with Third 40 Years of Fun Video

The third in Volkswagen’s ongoing “40 Years of Fun” series, celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the GTI, was just released and this time around the video focuses more on modern GTIs.

As always, the video focuses on a couple of GTI enthusiasts who are getting their cars ready for Worthersee Treffen, the largest Volkswagen show in the Europe.

Whereas the last videos focused more on older Golfs, this one features later model Golfs more prominently. As a result, stance is also a bigger player in this video. As one of the enthusiasts, Andreas, says in the video “Reducing the ground clearance is essential.”

The video also focuses on the legend of the GTI. The featured drivers talk about when they first saw the GTI, about the look, and the sound. “It’s a legend,” Andreas concludes. “It’s one of the most famous and widely driven cars […] It’s pretty much the only car for me.”

If the GTI is the only car for you, too, watch this blatant GTI-porn.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

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...
