Find Of The Day: Summer Show-Ready GTI

What’s that? There’s summer car shows popping up all over and you don’t have a thing to drive? Check out our latest Find Of The Day: a 2017 GTI. And it’s stuffed full of mods for show season.

We don’t have to sell you on the virtues of the latest GTI, do we? Packed with power, nimble in the corners, and yet it coddles the driver and occupants. Sure other cars are faster, or handle better, or are more luxurious, but the MK7 GTI may be the best all-rounder on the market today. Take to the track and shuttle your grandma to the grocery store on the same day; it’s does both well.

This 2017 GTI comes with some great stuff. It’s a “Sport” model with the Performance Package that has larger brake calipers and a limited-slip differential. PP trim cars also have a slight bump in horsepower, but this one kicks it up a notch with a Stage 2 APR tune. The brakes have additional upgrades: cross-drilled discs with ceramic brake pads. It has an APR downpipe, an Integrated Engineering intake system, and a Neuspeed exhaust.

Outside, this GTI rides on super light-weight forged wheels mounted with Falken Azenis tires. The car sits low on BC Racing coilovers. There’s a serious-looking front splitter and a matching-in-intensity rear diffuser. This car means business.

Inside the GTI is essentially stock and completely spotless. It has alloy shift paddles on the steering column. Not to mention Apple CarPlay and the immaculate plaid seats. The ad states the rear seat was never used, the passenger seat was only sat in a handful of times, and the driver’s seat was covered with a towel on every drive.

Not a fan of all the add-ons? We’re happy to tell you the stock exhaust, suspension, and wheels and tires come with the car. Buy it, swap out the gear, then sell it and make some cash. Win-win.

If you’re looking for a ready to go ride, this may be the car for you. Check out the ad in our classifieds. The license plates are from North Carolina: a more specific location isn’t noted. Current asking price: $26,000.

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 ...
