VOLKSWAGEN DEBUTS NEW GTI AT THE GENEVA AUTO SHOW
 
- Available with two levels of power for the first time: standard 220
horsepower or 230 hp with performance pack (European model)
- Offers 18 per cent improvement in fuel economy compared to previous GTI
- On sale in Europe starting in May, 2013

Wolfsburg, 27th February 2013 – Following tradition, Volkswagen
will introduce the latest version of the Golf GTI at the Geneva
International Motor Show. For the first time, the iconic hot hatch is
available at launch with two power levels: 220 horsepower; or 230 hp
with the optional performance pack.

The new GTI is powered by a turbocharged direct-injection gasoline
engine (TSI®) that makes 220 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque in standard
form. Volkswagen is offering a factory- installed performance pack for
the first time, which boosts power to 230 hp. Both versions are equipped
with a Stop-Start system, fulfill the EU-6 emissions standard that
takes effect in 2014, and attain the same excellent DIN gas mileage
figure of 39.2 mpg-which equates to 139 g/km of CO2-when equipped with
the six-speed manual transmission. This means that the new GTI offers an
18 percent improvement in fuel economy compared to the previous model.
With the optional six-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission, the
220- and 230-hp GTIs return 36.8 and 36.2 mpg respectively (equivalent
to 148 and 150 g/km CO2).

The sporty nature of the Golf GTI is reflected in its red-painted brake
calipers, twin chrome tailpipes, and a lowered sport suspension. The
exterior of the compact hatchback also scores with 17-inch "Brooklyn"
GTI wheels and 225/45 tires, special side skirts, a rear diffuser, and
smoked LED taillights with LED license-plate illumination.

Visually, the interior is highlighted by sport seats with the "Clark"
tartan pattern, a black headliner, and red ambient lighting. The car
also offers classic GTI features such as a sport steering wheel, GTI
shifter knob grip and instrument cluster, special trim inserts, and
stainless- steel pedals and foot support.

Standard features include the progressive steering system; "Climatronic"
automatic climate control; park assist; Volkswagen's latest touchscreen
infotainment system; and a winter pack that includes heatable front
seats. Customers can choose from three body colors: "Tornado Red",
"Black" and "Pure White". In Germany, the car goes on sale in May with
prices starting at 28,350 euros.

[mike.]

arata interesant. doar 3 culori? :(

[Muale]

arata f bine.

consola centrala e lucioasa, vad reflexia schimbatorului in capacul scrumierei...

[rifflections]

Noile jante sunt geniale! Interiorul excelent.

[@DRI@N]

Volanul e urat.

Mai frumos e cel de pe MKVI-GTI

[Costin]

Footrest-ul nu mai e din aluminiu..nu stiu pedalierul cum e..si vad ca nici manerul de la torpedo..ar fi fost interesant daca pe modelul GTI ar fi pus frana de mana clasica..

[vali_devill]

Dap...nici o emotie,cu parere de rau.

Mkv gti si mk6 r,alea emotii in miscare,parerea mea.

[Costin]

Sa nu uitam de Mk5 R32...taticul lor ca sound si nu numai.

[vali_devill]

Ala e by default un icon...

[robi_zet]

Pret de pornire 28.350 TVA inclus. Cat costa un MK6?

 

Se pare ca varianta Performace v-a beneficiaza de un diferential fata cu alunecare limitata VAQ (mecanic?)

Parti bune si parti rele, ca intotdeauna.

Culorile cred ca sunt cele gratuite, paleta fiind mai extinsa cu siguranta, iar in privinta LSD am mari indoieli. Daca e vorba de unul mecanic, au spart piata!

Pretul e pt Germania, in Romania fiind sensibil mai aproape de 23-24000EUR.

[Ioana]

Ala pentru state se face in Mexic... Poate s-or produce si-n Germania si o sa fie mai putin low cost (cu ornament la torpedou satinat, footrest, etc.).

 

Performance Pack has a “front axle differential lock”, aka a torque sensing limited-slip differential.

De ce? Megane RS Cup de care are?

Cât o fi acest pachet suplimentar care am înțeles că ar conține și frâne mai mari.

[Rave]

2.500 de euro...?

Mie imi place volanul, are un aspect retro oarecum... Oare o merge pus si pe VI ?

[Bogdan_wrc]

"Standard body colours for Europe will be Tornado Red, Black and Pure White."

"The performance pack is not just about power (thank goodness; aren’t they being a bit stingy?), it will also include beefier front brakes and a front differential lock, the latter of which could make the most difference to hot-hatch aficionados. VW says that the Haldex-sourced diff, used to divert torque to the rear wheels in all-wheel-drive cars, allows for more agile steering behaviour and

enhanced precision"

[JUG]

Nu am spus ca nu exista LSD pe alte masini FWD(cum ar fi Megane RS, Astra OPC s.a.m.d), ci doar ca acei clienti care tineau neaparat sa aiba frane ca lumea sau LSD in standard erau nevoiti sa se uite la alte marci. Acum, insa, singura departajare intre VW-ul mult mai placut ochiului si mai bine finisat/ echipat este o mica diferenta de putere, usor de rezolvat prin resoftare. :)

[lucian_90tud]

Interesant el, dar nu prea :)) 

La exterior arata bine. Imi plac jantele si eleronul.

Airbagul de pe volan e ciudat tare, micsorat maxim. Ma asteptam la ceva mai mult...

 

Oricum, sunt curios cum arata in realitate, nu virtual.

Sper ca vorbesti de o suma ce nu include TVA (avand in vedere ca 2.0 TDI e 22.400 E - fara DSG sau 4Motion)

[Rave]

Pai Golful VI GTI pleca, daca nu ma insel, de pe la 18-19.000 fara TVA in Romania... Pe acolo pe undeva trebuie sa fie si asta...

[vali_devill]

Sa vedeti voi surpriza de pret,de ne uitam ca curca-n lemne.macar de ar fi epatat cu frumusetea si ne-ar fi pacalit portofelele,dar mi se pare cel mai putin stilizat gti fata de modelul standard.

[The_Ego]

Deja fac doua versiuni de GTi-uri atunci Ed40 ce o sa mai aiba?

 

Estetic ma asteptam la o evolutie mai evidenta fata de GTi 6 (cum s-a intamplat intre GTi 5 si 6).

Daca va uitati bara fata nu difera foarte mult, doar ca s-au scos grilele laterale la 7.

 

Ideea farului rujat nu ma incanta, dar au vrut sa fie indrazneti.

Parca numai are praguri nu? Trist

@vali_devil - Golf 4 GTI a fost cel mai putin stilizat fata de Golf standard... It's hard to beat it :D Even by Golf 7

Mie personal imi plac si Golf 6 si Golf 7 GTI. Am stat un pic pe ganduri sa le deosebesc in pozele de mai sus ... noroc cu geamul fata...

Are praguri, dar sunt foarte discrete.

[robi_zet]

In pozele de mai sus nu exista praguri. Imi plac acele praguri si chiar ma gandesc la achizitionarea unui GTI care sa aibe minim aceleasi dotari care le am acum + DSG+4 usi si sa fie pana in 30000 euro.
