For all the VW (Golf) fans this is the Golf GTI Clubsport.
"At the beginning of 2016, the icon of the sporty compact class - the Golf GTI - is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Volkswagen will mark this historic event with a progressive special edition: the new Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport. Now Volkswagen is presenting the production version of the new Golf GTI Clubsport at the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt and, on this occasion, offers a first look ahead at the driving performance of the most powerful production GTI ever."
"The inventor of the "GTI" is thus continuing the big tradition of GTI anniversary models, as exclusive special editions also marked the 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th birthdays. The turbocharged direct-injection engine in the anniversary model delivers an output of 195 kW / 265 PS, this is 35 PS more than on the previous most powerful Golf GTI. That, however, is far from all. For a short time - for about 10 seconds each time - the driver can increase engine power by an additional 10 per cent to over 290 PS using a boost function. This added power is activated simply by kicking down the accelerator."
"The Golf GTI sprints to 100 km/h in 6.0 seconds with a 6-speed manual gearbox; the version with optional 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) is even faster at 5.9 seconds. The Golf GTI Clubsport has a top speed of 250 km/h (DSG: 249 km/h). A look at fuel economy shows just how efficiently the sports car converts engine power into propulsion. With a manual gearbox, consumption is 6.9 l/100 km (equivalent to 160 g/km CO2); if power is transferred to the front wheels by DSG, the figure comes in at 6.7 l/100 km (155 g/km CO2)."
Looking good GTI
