Chauffeur, you’ve been fired. Meet the Pikes Peak Audi TTS.
Blik was recently commissioned by Volkswagen Group of America to manufacture and install vehicle graphics for the new Pikes Peak Audi TTS. This innovative rally car was designed by Stanford University and the Volkswagen Group of America ERL to tackle the Pikes Peak hill-climbing race course in the Rocky Mountains. The driverless vehicle navigates using GPS and advanced programming. Look Ma – no hands!
The design of the Audi TTS was a modern interpretation of the original graphics on the Audi Quattro, which won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb ‘Race To The Clouds’ in 1987.
“The vehicle wrap was an extremely technical install, which included surgically placing the top graphic around the car’s three antennas,” said Blik custom projects manager Nick Martin. “Volkswagen was thrilled with the final product. We enjoy working with Volkswagen and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

Hi April,
Sorry for the late response. Here’s some information from our FAQ’s: (Original Blik means the non-printed or Re-Stik graphics.)
I would like to apply an original Blik design to my car, can I do that?
Yes, you can but keep in mind that Blik decals are scaled for walls and not cars. Also cars get pretty dirty and the original Blik matte material will not be shiny like your car. Blik is not responsible for any damage that may occur.
