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.

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...
