Find Of The Day Of The Dead: No Reserve Zombie-Edition GLI

It doesn’t take much braaaains to see the value in a no-reserve auction. You get a feeling deep down in your guts that it’s a great deal. You know you have to bid quickly before the car shuffles off to someone else. If you’ve just been wandering around aimlessly looking for your next ride, then this Find Of The Day, a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta GLI.

First, let’s get to the gory details. This GLI is mostly stock. It has an EA888 2.0T engine making 200 horsepower. While we tend to highlight manual transmission cars, this one has a DSG dual-clutch transmission; keep that left had free for clearing a path through apocalyptic traffic. It has xenon headlights with LED marker lights that’ll cut a bright path through the darkest of streets. There’s even a sunroof up top: it’s another way out should your killer ride get swarmed by onlookers.

Inside it’s standard GLI-fare. Any biohazard will wipe right off the leatherette seats (don’t let ad fool you; it’s not dead cowhide). This GLI has navigation so you won’t get trapped down a dead-end alley or lost on a supply run. Your favorite tunes from Rob Zombie will sound great pumped out of the Fender audio system.

This GLI has some upgrades too. While it’s not listed in the ad, the car appears to sit on a lowered suspension. There’s a set of black alloy wheels that are sure to hide brake dust and any muck that gets sloshed onto them. And the car is wrapped in Candy White paint, but it’s got some red on it too.

The current bid on this 2013 GLI is a mere $1,525. Check out the eBay auction for more info.  There are even 50+ photos of the Houston, Texas car.

But if you’re interested you better move fast: this no-reserve auction ends in just a few days. A deal like this doesn’t just come back from the dead once it’s gone.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

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...
