This Thursday, Volkswagen will be presenting the new Golf GTI Clubsport at Lake Wörthersee. This will be the official world premiere for this all-new model, which is set to be launched next year in order to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Golf GTI. For this debut, the model will be near-production ready, but still in concept car form in order to offer Volkswagen Golf GTI enthusiasts of what they can expect from the full production version.
This new anniversary edition model will be the brand’s most powerful GTI ever when it launched at the beginning of 2016. The power output for this model’s performance system is 195 kW / 265 PS, a full 35 PS higher than the Golf GTI Performance. The overall system will have an available boost option that drivers can select in order to provide an additional 10 percent power boost. This along with the vehicle’s top handling ability offer driving dynamics equivalent to what is seen in motorsport.
Included with the increased power features, this model has also been given a new design complete with new side sills, a specially developed rear diffuser, a new front bumper and an aerodynamically highly innovative roof-edge spoiler.
