Jason and Derek discuss the origins of one of Lamborghini's most iconic models: the Diablo. And what makes this 1 of 83 GT edition so special.   === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === Prior to recording this episode, Jason's Diablo-experience was limited to a blue VT he drove as part of a V12 Lamborghini story back in 2012 that included a 1972 Miura SV, 1988 Countach 5000 QV, Murciélago, Aventador, and LM002. Luckily for Jason (and all of us,) Derek – who also recently drove a Diablo Roadster – brought along this spectacular orange Diablo GT (one of just 83 ever built), which both he and Jason took for a spin. Their impressions followed after a brief history lesson courtesy of Derek.  The history lesson will include the origin of Lamborghini itself at the hands of multiple different owners: Ferruccio Lamborghini, Jean-Claude and Patrick Mimran, and Chrysler, which took over just as the Diablo concept was nearly production ready. Luckily for everyone, legendary designer at Bertone, Marcello Gandini, didn't throw his hands up and walk off the job, and we got the Diablo (and the non-Chrysler-tainted early designs went on to become the Cizeta-Moroder V16T). But it was the 90s, and we demanded more! So the motorsport-focused Diablo GT was born. Featuring widened front fenders, a carbon-fiber rear diffuser, carbon-fiber bucket seats, oil cooler w/ heat extractor hood vent, and a roof scoop to direct cold air into the massive carbon-fiber intake plenum feeding independent throttle bodies – and much, much more! Like all Diablos, the interior is a little kit-car spec. A flat bezel with holes carved into it for individual gauges comprises the main “cluster.” The suspension is ultra-stiff, but handles exceptionally well on smooth tarmac. And the car can effortlessly break traction at both near-idle RPMs and at near-triple-digit speeds. Rear visibility is non-existent (there is effectively no rear window), but boy are you visible to everyone else on the road.  Before we wrap things up, we talk crankshafts and who made the first modern flat-plane crank for a production V-8. Perhaps it's the Urraco and not the Ferrari 308? Ford's contemporary flat-plane crank Voodoo V-8 from the Shelby GT350 is known to shake itself to pieces. Is that par for the course? Chevy's C8 Z06 Corvette seems to be doing just fine. As are the AMG GT Blacks Series and Aston Martin Valhalla, but does anyone care?  Cars like the new Revuelto and Temerario are more common than ever these days. And the number of people who stand a chance of someday affording them seems to be dwindling. Do you care about these million-dollar super cars? Or would you rather see more $35,000 challenges with cars like the Mini Cooper S, Hyundai Elantra N, Ford Mustang Ecoboost, Mazda3 Turbo, VW GTI, Subaru WRX, and Toyota GR86 in 2025?

Tim Walz talk...what a piece of work, for sure. Wheels Up Wednesday with Auto Journalist Eric Peters, Walz, 2024 VW GTI review, More troubles at Toyota and other news.

The Volkswagen GTI has been a staple of the affordable but fun roster of cars since its inception almost half a century ago. This hopped-up Rabbit or Golf gave folks an affordable outlet for their gear-wringing fun. Well, halfway through the eighth generation of this legendary nameplate, Volkswagen is moving away from the manual transmission and pivoting to an automatic-only GTI in the United States. Before sending it away, VW launched a special stick-shifted celebration version of the GTI dubbed 380. Powering this 2024 VW GTI 308 is the same 2.0-liter EA888 turbocharged I4 that powers the other GTI variants. This turbocharged 2.0-liter sends 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque through either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic. Of course, in 380 S and 380 SE trim, the stick is the only transmission available.  On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone climbs behind the wheel of the 2024 VW Golf GTI and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided walkaround of the last-year stick-shifted Golf GTI and highlights some of his favorite features. Later in the show, Carone takes you on a live drive review of the '24 VW GTI. Adding to these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the GTI, the manual transmission disappearing, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the 2024 Golf GTI special.

From the 2025 Urus PHEV to the swan song for the stick GTI, plus a big Range Rover and a couple of sporty Subies thrown in for measure, Nick and Nathan have lots to chat about in this one. Enjoy!

The crew is joined in-studio by Adi Desai, their mighty overlord and DoubleClutch founder, to mourn the loss of the VW GTI's stickshift, ponder why the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is good but not great, and to berate Nick on his (automotive) life choices.

The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R is the hottest hatch driving the German carmaker's lineup. Taking the original hot hatch, the VW GTI, to the next level.  All-wheel drive performance including drift mode. 

In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at a 1992 VW GTi 16V that's in amazing condition and has low miles. This car is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer and is sure to turn heads with its impressive condition and rare features. We'll be discussing the car's history, specs, and unique features, as well as making a prediction on what the final auction price might be. We'll also be comparing it to similar VW GTis that have sold on Bring a Trailer in the past, in order to get a better idea of what the market is currently like for these classic hot hatches. At the end of the video, we'll reveal the results of the auction and see how our predictions stacked up against the final sale price, and we'll also provide an analysis of the factors that may have influenced the final price. The auction results may shock you, so make sure to tune in and play along with "The Price is Right"! Whether you're a VW enthusiast or just a fan of classic cars, this amazing 1992 VW GTi 16V is not to be missed!

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is rolling into 2023 with a new trim configuration. Thats among other improvements over model year 2022.  When the hot hatch received it's most recent all-new status. And the four-door 5-seat continues impressing drivers and automotive writers alike. ⇒ iDSC is driven by Ontario Volkswagen 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI Top-3: Drive Value Styling New For 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI So the biggest item on the 'what's new' list is another trim option. And Volkswagen takes the opportunity to mark GTI's 40th Anniversary.  Doing so with a 40th Anniversary trim configuration. But the European carmaker is holding back details.  Because all VW is telling us is the name.  And that it slots between the base-model S and the mid-level SE trims. Other newness for the 2023 VW GTI include LED headlights and foglights.  Plus active cornering lights. 40th Annivesary Edition Trim VW says only 1,500 40th Anniversary Editions will be available in the United States. They have what VW is calling a 40 "clasp" at the bottom of the steering wheel.  Plus Volkswagen's iconic golf-ball inspired shift knob. Also, speciality decals adorn the sides of the 40th Anniversary Edition.  Dipalying "40" and VW's honeycomb. Add to that 19" gloss black multi-spoke wheels with red pinstripe accents.  And only three different exterior colors are available. (Four at first, but Pomelo Yellow Metallic is unavailable.) Thos include Tornado Red - pictured here.  Opal White Peral.  And one of our favorites, Urano Grey. Also, all come with the black painted roof. 40th Anniversary Edition - black painted roof Trims And Prices Here's the full trim configuration line-up for the 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI.  Along with starting MSRPs. Trim Configurations & MSRPs: S $30,180 40th Anniversary Edition $33,055 SE $34,980 Autobahn $38,720 *All starting manufacturers suggested retail prices Engine, Transmission, And MPG As Volkswagen has been providing.  The 2023 VW GTI comes with a single engine. So it doesn't matter which trim configuration you go with.  Because the same inline 4-cylinder is under the hood. And that's a 2.0-liter 16V turbocharged/intercooled.  Putting out 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Leaving you the option of transmissions.  Either a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.  Or a six-speed manual transmission. For the hot hatch.  My purist pick is always the manual.  But the automatic has paddle shifters.  So when you're commuting or stuck in traffic, you're shaking hands a lot less. Plus the automatic gives you better fuel economy. 2023 VW GTI MPG: Manual 23/27/32 Automatic 24/28/34 *City/combined/highway What's The 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI Look Like? Other than the 40th Anniversary Edition, which we're not yet sure of, there's little change for 2023. Because even in Volkswagen's press release materials.  The company is stating "minor cosmetic changes."  And saying as much without specificying what those are!? Still, the GTI remains, without question, VW's hothatch.  Newer, bolder, more athletic.  With it's iconic red accents and GTI badging.  She's a beauty.  In her 2023 attire. The S and SE trimes come with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels while the top of the line Autobahn delivers 19-inch alloys. Exterior dimensions: Wheelbase 103.6 Length 168.8 Height 57.6 Width 70.4 Track: Front 60.4 Rear 59.6 Ground clearance 4.7 *All inches. Curbweight for the 2023 VW Golf GTI depends on the transmission.  For manual trans, it weighs 3,133.  And for automatic, it comes in at 3,206. 241 hp / 273 lb-ft of torque Inside The 2023 VW Golf GTI And inside Golf GTI remains the same as model year 2022 too. Beautiful while maintaining all things VW hothatch.  Right down to the latest version of Volkswagen's plaid seating upholestry.  And  bolstered front seats.

Proud VW evangelists Malcolm Gladwell and Eddie agitate for a reappraisal of the VW GTI as a historically monumental vehicle—at least to Gen Xers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I love the cornflower blue color of the 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI.  Because it's not at all quiet.  And reflective of the car's potency. But there's more to what makes the overall package so enticing.   Because of what the car costs, it shouldn't perform as well as it does.   Plus it shouldn't look as good as it does.  And it shouldn't be so darn fun to drive. So my Top-3 for the 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI probably come as no surprise.

GTM NE region chief Harry is looking for a new car, specifically a wagon, so we thought ... wouldn’t it be fun to rally the troops and play another round of “What Should I Buy?” - WAGONS EDITION!As a note: there’s been a long standing internal debate, let’s call it what it is… an argument... within GTM about the differences between a wagon, hatchback, and lift-back. While some might lump all these cars together, we don’t, and therefore for this episodes purposes to be considered a “wagon” the vehicle must have a “D” pillar. Vehicles like the VW GTI or Subaru Impreza though “wagon-like” are considered Hatch-backs and are disqualified. And with that… let’s get into it.

Two Ford F-150s were purchased for our test fleet, one with the familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and the other with Ford's new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. Acceleration results from our test track proved surprising. Less surprising were the fuel economy numbers from the lightweight aluminium-bodied truck; we put those into perspective. In other news, our Tesla Model S P85D suffers an early malfunction, highlighting Tesla's customer service. We then reach deep into the mailbag, answering a variety of inquiries. Vehicle collaborations that were reliable, comparing the VW GTI to the Golf R, Acura ILX hate mail, sporty small SUVs, and the forgotten Mazda CX-9 are all discussed.
