Find Of The Day: KO4-You GTI

Looking for the perfect MKVI GTI? Have we found a deal for you. This 2012 GTI is essentially perfect and has two incredible features: A KO4 turbocharger, and a low asking price.

Before we get into the details of this Platinum Grey GTI, let’s start with the price. The seller is asking only $12,500. Now you may think that’s a bit high, but a quick cars.com search shows 2012 models going from a low of $7700 to a high of nearly $17,000. And what you’ll find there doesn’t come close to this particular GTI.

So what does $12,500 get you? We already mentioned the KO4 turbo upgrade. There’s also GIAC KO4 and DSG software updates, AWE KO4 kit and intake, a Wavetrak front differential, an Audi S3 intercooler, and a Snow Performance meth system.  That’s a ton of performance for that low asking price.

The upgrades don’t stop there. The GTI rides on BCS Race coilovers, a BCS turbo-back three-inch exhaust, Golf R taillights, a Maxton front chin spoiler, and much more. Inside is the plaid interior in mint conditions, some audio upgrades, and full LED lights.

All major service has been done, including the DSG service, new timing chain and guides, new coil packs and plugs, and a few other things. The car also comes with most of the original parts. It should be noted the car does not come with the pictured wheels; the OEM Hufweisen wheels will be back on the car.

Take a look at the ad in our classifieds. Or check out the craigslist ad. There’s also a thread on Audizine.com with more photos and information. This 2012 GTI DSG is in Modesto, California.

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...
