This Stop-Motion Video of a VW Getting Wrapped Is Mesmerizing

If you spot a guy in a green man suit with a razor blade and a sponge, don’t be alarmed. You may want to check your garage and see if your car’s still the same color, though.

Even though we have little to go on in making this assertion, one look at their stop-motion video evokes thoughts of a guy in a green jumpsuit fiendishly working away to give the fourth-gen Golf that stars in the video a whole new look.

Behind the Scenes of a Wrap Video

The team at ORAFOL Vehicle Wraps might like our suggestion, but the reality is that creating this mind-blowing film was much more tedious than applying a wrap while dressed in a green man suit.

Each frame of the two-minute video had to be captured while the workers applying the wrap were off screen. Wrapping a car without making a stop-motion video takes a while, so you can imagine this was no two-bit job. Props to video editor autoapklijavimas for making the whole thing look seamless.

A Golf Gets the Blues

Speaking of seamless, the ORACAL 970RA wrap these guys applied looks perfect on the timeless lines of this modern classic golf. The car’s owner obviously likes blue, since his paint is that color, too, but the wrap adds another dimension.

The lighter color and metallic quality of the vinyl really make the teenage Golf pop, and compared to the money you would spend on a full respray, which could cost upwards of six or seven thousand dollars, the wrap is an outstanding value. Material costs for a car like this should come between $500 and $700. With application, a job like this should cost in the ballpark of $3,500 all told.

This application will last for several years, and it will even protect the paint beneath it, which looks to be in pretty good condition in the video. If it’s damaged, a wrap can be repaired, unlike paint, and some modern materials are even self-healing. As for making the video, you’ll probably need to attend design school for that — or just do a whole lot of internet research.

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...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
