Teach Your Kids to Hoon with these Ride-On GTIs

As someone whose very patronage of this site proves they are a VW nut, you’re likely to want to get your kids behind the wheel of a GTI as soon as possible. Well, this Christmas season, you’re well supplied thanks to this genuine ride-on GTI.

The car is for sale on eBay’s euro.stores, and I’m reasonably convinced is made by a company from Hong Kong called Rastar.

The company produces all kinds of remote controlled and toy cars, which shows in just how generic the shape of this GTI is. Despite that, though, there are some nice touches. The lights, grilles, and tartan seats are all spot on, and the color options—red, white, and black—are perfect, too.

The toy car can also, apparently, blast your kid’s favorite music, and if you don’t quite trust them to drive themselves, there’s a Bluetooth remote control that lets you drive them. But then how would they learn to drive? Let the children hoon!

If you’re more of an Audi person, there’s also a new RS5, or you could get your kids into that Lamborghini you’ve always wanted. You will, unfortunately, need a step-up converter if you want to buy this, since it uses a European 220 volt plug.

All this can be yours for a cool £436.90 (which amounts to about $553 today).

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
