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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
