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.

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...
