Golf R Colour Program Becomes Color Program!

Canada has come up with a few bright ideas in its time. Hockey, its eponymous bacon, single payer health insurance (edgy), but none is greater than the colour program. And now it’s being exported to America.

That’s right, the Volkswagen Spektrum Program will allow you to pick any one of 40 colors for your 2019 Golf R.

Unfortunately, the colors can’t be seen in the configurator (YET) but among the colors are Nogaro Blue Pearl, Violet Touch Metallic, Copper Orange, Caribbean Green, Viper Green Metallic (that’s Canada’s number one pick!), Deep Blue Pearl, Ginster Yellow and so many more (you can see them all in the image below).

Picking one of these historic colors will cost you an extra $2,500 and you’ll eventually be able to use the configurator to see the colors from 360 degrees. Dealers will also soon get a color sample kit, so you can see them in real life.

The option also means that your Golf R will have to be made to order. That means that you’ll have to wait two to four months to get it.

No word yet on whether or not the e-Golf will be offered with these colors, as is the case in Canada.

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 ...
