Guess who’s 40 years old this year? Volkswagen is celebrating four decades of the Golf GTI, the original hot hatch!
To mark GTI’s birthday, VW launched a special edition for the occasion, the Golf GTI Clubsport – the most powerful GTI yet!
With its turbocharged direct-injection engine, the Clubsport develops more power than the Golf GTI Performance Pack.
But there’s more! By using the boost function, the driver can increase engine power by nearly 10% for about 10 seconds! This added power is activated by simply switching the drive mode to sport.
According to VW, the GTI Clubsport moves from zero to 100km/h in a lightning quick 5,9 seconds.
The newcomer to VW’s GTI range comes with the carmaker’s high-tech DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The GTI Clubsport has been given a new front bumper, new side sills, a rear diffuser, a multi-part roof spoiler and exclusive, forged alloy wheels. There are also bi-xenon headlights with cornering lights and LED daytime running lights.
The interior shows that the Clubsport is definitely a VW, with leather sports seats, red decorative stitching and black details. The list of standard features includes ambient lighting, a multi-function steering wheel, two-zone automatic climate control and an infotainment system.
Buyers can also choose the GTI Clubsport with a number of optional extras such as a satellite navigation system, keyless entry and parking distance control.
The car comes with a five-year/90 000km service plan and three-year/120 000km roadside assist plan.
