With the help of Formula D pro driver and drift specialist Dai Yoshihara, the Motor Trend team sets out to pull off a one-of-a-kind photo shoot. Working at night on a huge expanse of tarmac under towering floodlights, the pro driver dances the GoPro GTI across the open course, executing carefully choreographed maneuvers and high-speed acrobatics. Working with the MT photography team, the driver practices his marks until its just right, then… the flood lights switch off! Total darkness, except for a bright light mounted atop the rear spoiler of the GTI. Our driver then repeats his perfected maneuvers in the dark, while Motor Trend Director of Photography, Brian Vance, sits high atop the action — capturing a one-of-a-kind long exposure photo of the GTI literally painting a huge “GTI” below in arcs of light!

1 all-new Volkswagen Golf GTI. 100 Go Pro cameras. 100+ hours of footage. Motor Trend presents The Golf GTI Project – Captured With GoPro. We’re handing the keys and the cameras over to the cast and crew behind your favorite Motor Trend shows, to create a collection of original short films starring the ultimate camera car — a 2015 Golf GTI loaded inside and out with 100 GoPro cameras. We’ll bring you everything from hot laps to road trips to car chases to skate videos and more! Premiering all this June on the Motor Trend Channel (www.youtube.com/motortrend).

I need more Roadkill/Dirt Every Day instead of this lame videos

ZombieFeathers says:

VW must be paying alot for this GTI advertisement… 

Georg Arju. says:

A very nice photography concept, but why would you need even a single
GoPro?

TEN: The Enthusiast Network says:

Ever seen a #GTI paint with lights? Drift specialist Dai Yoshihara and the +Motor
Trend Magazine team pull off a one-of-a-kind night shoot! Golf GTI Paints
with Light! – Motor Trend presents The Golf GTI Project – Captured With
GoPro

IMRROcom says:

Is that it? Lame. What did 100 GoPros do? nothing. I coud do better with
a glostick in my back yard.

TheHoth1 says:

Zero GTI owner will be doing exactly that. This video is as logical as a
hippo drinking a cup of tea. 

TheCanto500 says:

Lool can that VW badge really pop open though?

MaxTheKanuck #JoinTheMasterRace says:

No way that’s 100 cameras. I’d say like, 35 at most. And I don’t even see
the purpose of putting so many. You could’ve easily done this with 7 or 8

asdjfnljn3 says:

What is the point of this 100 GoPros thing?

TheEndOfTheInternet says:

Clever little backup camera 

craperia says:

HAHA what a shit Video!!!
How much Money got thrown out the Window for that Crap?

Michi Scholl says:

Again, practically no use of the gopros.

mattdeanmusic says:

Umm, so the main effect of this video is painting light with a DSLR long
exposure. Soooooo, the 100 gopros?

Brian Martone says:

So much for aerodynamics..

meso06 says:

They spent all that money how ever much it was and time for that? Things
other people see as valuable and important are different but this? GoPro
was the biggest beneficiary from this.

Porks says:

wtf? how much money you dumb asses threw at this project?

instead of fluidity wit music, tells the cars capability with a story, we
got this crap.

john kilner says:

why.

youngblood23rb says:

This just seems like a pointless, expensive Golf commercial!

arlo12345678910 says:

G.T.H. Go To Hell!!

bummaggots says:

1:09 one camera is turned on.

Daniel van Driel says:

How’d you spin? Stability and Traction Control can’t be turned of, and the
electronic parking brake?

cilvrado says:

blah blah blah.. *VW paid MT* blah blah blah..

Michael Mellqvist says:

why ? 

Timm Bacher says:

Who paid more? Go Pro or VW?

Did all that money come close to compensating for the new level of pathetic
MotorTrend has descended to?

Shame

MrKeyboardCommando says:

What the fuck has happened to Motor Trend ?? I know those money whores at
/Drive have sold out to Murdoch; have these guys gone the same way ?????

ronmann606 says:

With 100 GoPros I was expecting crazy Matrix style shots. I’ve seen better
footage with 5 cameras.

Lance Thompson says:

those 100 plus go-pro’s were completely pointless

multi5121 says:

Pls do a giveaway after using those cameras.

karllovesmercedes NZ says:

Wtf do the Go Pros even need to be there for – could have shot the whole
video with 3 of them

Dave Binns says:

Handbrake turn with electric handbrake….. How???

ztbirdman says:

A real waste of money and resources. Don’t know who thought of this but it
didn’t prove anything but VW needs a new advertising director. I know a
three year old who is available.

Earl Miguel Mendoza says:

Golf GTI Paints with Light!

happyslapping111 says:

at 2:37 why does the vw logo pop out ???

William Fernando M says:

You guys are a joke. This vid was awesome..

TheBigGuy3380 says:

IMO a waste of time and money. I totally thought it was going to be
something different.

alvaskins says:

I liked that!

jamb0y says:

Really, that was worse than the last one.

TheBodyguard619 says:

You had the chance to draw a light penis and instead you write “GTI”??

BWBrent Thompson says:

awesome…!!!!

Thomas Blithe says:

This was the best they could come up with? I mean, I’m not saying I’m a
genius, but damn. Do something with those cameras! Why not do a cool 360
panoramic by putting the cameras all around the car? I saw a total of,
maybe ten camera angles.

Irakli Guruli says:

how he does that? mk7 has e-brake, he pulls on it?

An Do says:

Thought the video was kinda cool.
You’re all a whinging bunch of dickheads.

gridowner says:

this with DSG? :O Are the transmission ok after this? :D

gadget says:

you’ve done it all wrong, you’re supposed to film stuff WITH the car, not
film the car.

ROBOFORCERX2000 says:

A Golf will always be a Golf, just a Golf, nothing more…

K Gordon says:

No point in watching this stuff. Seriously VW what’s the point here? That’s
30 seconds of my life wasted that I will never get back.

btdcatdc says:

lol .. why 100 cameras ?
dumb concept
boring driving
nothing interesting ..all that just to show a blurry text of GTI .. thats
it ?
lol ..should get nominated for dumbest video and waste of money

SoundGuyDavo says:

They should have painted a Check Engine light.

Chris Hood says:

I don’t mind advertisements to be able to watch the shows I like, Roadkill
and dirt every day, but that amount of go pros is unnecessary. They claim
it helps with the cars position. You could do that with 10 cameras on the
car. Overkill for Roadkill. Haha
