Powerpack
The dynamic heart of the Golf GTI, the specially developed 2.0 litre
FSI engine delivering 147 kW / 200 bhp of power output (CO2 emissions:
190-194 g/km**), for the first time combines the advantages of direct
fuel injection with a turbocharger, and in the range from 1,800
to 5,100 revs develops a hefty 280 Nm of torque. |
Responsive
The GTI features a six-speed manual transmission.
Together with the FSI turbo engine, it propels the GTI from 0 to
100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds. The newly developed dual-clutch gearbox
DSG does it even more quickly - in just 6.9 seconds.

Refined
The Golf GTI is designed for performance from front to back. Its
chassis has been lowered 15 millimetres compared to the standard
Golf, and fitted with stronger anti-roll bars. The electromechanical
power steering has been adapted in line with the dynamic character
of the GTI. And the ventilated disc brakes stop the thoroughbred
sports model at a safe, ultra-efficient rate. |
Safe
Typical GTI: the enlarged brake discs
and red brake callipers are in keeping with the special performance
of the model. In terms of other safety features, too, the GTI is
ideally equipped, from the anti-lock braking system and a minimum
of six airbags to the Electronic Stabilisation Programme.
