The iconic design of the updated Golf has even more charisma with a number of new detailed solutions. The team led by Klaus Bischoff, Volkswagen Head of Design, redesigned the bumpers and, together with engineers, conceptualised new headlights (halogen and LED), new LED tail lights and new wheels. The exterior design of the Golf, which has been systematically developed over a period of more than 40 years, has been consciously advanced to a new evolutionary level. That is because the success of the Golf - along with its technical concept and all-round qualities - has always been based on a design that is considered unmistakable and extends beyond class boundaries. This has made the Golf one of the world's few compact vehicles that does not necessarily reflect the financial resources of its owner. This makes the Golf - the updated version included - the essence of Volkswagen.

The new Golf GTI TCR was derived from the eponymous race car and two-time overall winner of the international TCR race series.After just 5.6 seconds, the road version leaves the 100 km / h limit behind it.The top speed is 250 km / h. Optionally, the maximum speed can be increased to 260 km / h.Compared to the 180 kW / 245 hp and already equipped with features such as Front Assist, Active Info Display and LED headlights Golf GTI performance is the Golf GTI TCR even more exclusive. The standard equipment includes a front axle differential lock, perforated brake discs, the driving profile selection, top sports seats in front with a new design, safety belts with red edges and a specific sports steering wheel. Its leather is similar to the racing series at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions specially shaped (perforated leather) and provided with a red 12 o'clock mark.

Volkswagen presented a new milestone in the history of the cult compact car to Golf GTI fans: the VW Golf GTI TCR, which has a top speed of 264 km/h and is almost ready for production. The special edition is a road version, derived for the series, of the racing car of the same name and two-time overall winner of the international TCR race series. The successful touring racing car's specs make the new top model a dominating presence: design, power and performance are intrinsic to the pure sports car doctrine. The 2.0 litre turbo engine of the new Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR delivers 213 kW / 290 PS (at 5,000 to 6,800 rpm). The maximum torque of 370 Nm lies between 1,600 and 4,300 rpm. Power is transmitted to the front wheels as standard via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) and a locking differential. The factory-set maximum speed is 250 km/h, but this can be increased to 264 km/h as mentioned above by opting to remove the electronic Vmax limiter. Wherever the digital speedometer needle (standard Active Info Display) stops, the newly developed roof edge spoiler ensures the necessary downforce at the rear axle. The new Golf GTI TCR is expected to be launched at the end of 2018. Numerous individual features add to the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR's sporty character and robust look. The new top Golf GTI model has 18-inch "Belvedere" forged wheels from the Wolfsburg plant as standard. the newly designed 19-inch alloy wheels are optionally available. Lurking behind the large alloy wheels are perforated brake discs together with special brake calipers and pads to slow racing fans down just as confidently as the role model on the racetrack.
Three letters, inextricably associated with Volkswagen: GTI. Gran Turismo Injection. Now a new GTI is picking up speed with the next Volkswagen Polo GTI. Power output of 147 kW / 200 PS, 6-speed DSG fitted as standard and a top speed of 237 km/h. From 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. Fuel consumption of 5.9 litres per 100 km reflects the drive system's efficiency. The new Polo GTI is another highpoint in the long GTI history. Climb in, adjust the sports seats, buckle up - an ergonomically made-to-measure connection between driver and machine. In the new Volkswagen Polo GTI the engine starter button becomes the trigger for a great driving experience, as the development team has created a style of dynamic handling that facilitates committed driving and yet integrates supreme safety and high levels of comfort. This alliance of dynamism, safety and comfort is the secret behind the success of the GTI concept and a core characteristic of the new Polo GTI. Key features: very agile drive system, low unladen weight (1,355 kg) and power-to-weight ratio (6.78 kg/PS), firm sports-oriented running gear that is also good for long-distance driving, assured front-wheel drive and an ergonomically ideal sitting position. This is all packaged in an expressive exterior and interior design. Topped off with classic GTI insignia such as the typical red stripe in the radiator grille, the GTI gear knob and the legendary 'Clark' plaid seat covers. Equipped with a connected and largely digitalised cockpit, the Polo GTI, always offered in four-door format, is thus ideal as the compact, affordable sports car of a new generation.
