ALL Vrrrrrrr Phaaaa fanatics have a reason to celebrate.
The exclusive Golf GTI Clubsport S is here and bringing with it 228kW of joy.
Not only is it as sporty as you could only dream of, it is sexy too - a two-door body variant with just two seats.
The most powerful Golf GTI ever holds the lap record for a front wheel drive production car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track with a time of 7:49:21.
Only 400 units have been built and 47 of them were allocated to Mzansi as it is one of the biggest markets for the Golf GTI in the world.
All of the 47 units were pre-sold by the Volkswagen dealer organisation turning the Golf GTI Clubsport S into an instant icon and collectors’ item. Mzansi’ Golfs are only offered in pure white with the roof painted in black.
The Golf GTI Clubsport S comes with a setting for the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track which can be set using the standard Dynamic Chassis Control driving profile selector.
To keep the weight down, the Golf GTI Clubsport S is only available in a manual transmission.
Additional components that were removed to reduce weight include rear seats, insulating material, the variable luggage compartment floor, the rear parcel shelf and bonnet damping.
A smaller battery is fitted to reduce the weight further.
This most exclusive GTI has the following exterior details: semi-slicks (Michelin Sport Cup 2) mounted on 19-inch black painted “Pretoria” alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, “Clubsport S” type plates, black painted roof, Xenon headlights with cornering lights and LED daytime running lights.
The 17-inch brake system has been modified to enhance stability on racing circuits.
Each of the 400 Golf GTI Clubsport S cars have its production number (001/400 to 400/400) on the ashtray cover .
And what would you pay for it if you ordered one? The 2.0 TSI 228kW Golf GTI Clubsport S Manual goes for R742 000.
