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.

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...

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...
