Stunning Kings Red Metallic Golf GTI
The latest Golf, the 8th generation to wear the venerated Golf badge, marks the next stage in
the evolution of an automotive classic. All of the familiar Golf attributes are still present
from
the entry to the range through to the potent Golf GTI
but this new generation of Golf has
taken bold strides towards an era of digitalisation and autonomous driving.
With its impressive pedigree, outstanding performance characteristics and potent
styling, the Golf GTI is the small sports car that other vehicles can only aspire to be.
The 8th evolution of Volkswagens original hot hatch incorporates all of the technical
upgrades added to the recent model update, plus with new suspension materials and
configurability options. New styling updates, such as striking LED front fog lights,
sculpted front seats and Innovision Cockpit improve on what is already a design classic.
Every drive in the Golf GTI is informed by a performance philosophy that prioritises
exhilaration and downright driving fun. The GTIs punchy TSI turbocharged petrol
engine generates 180kW of power and 370Nm of torque. It pairs perfectly with
Volkswagens 7-speed wet clutch DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) transmission, now
equipped with shift by wire technology in place of a selector lever.
Drivers feel at one with the road courtesy of the Golf GTIs new Vehicle Dynamics
Manager, a control system that coordinates and activates the functions of the
electronically controlled front-axle differential lock, the Extended Electronic
Differential Lock (XDL) as well as the lateral dynamic components of the Adaptive
Chassis Control during every driving manoeuvre. Central to the system is electromechanical front differential lock, which significantly improves handling performance
by counteracting understeer and minimising traction control interventions. The result is
more agile steering, greater stability in vehicle response and an ability to take faster
speeds through corners.
As always, the driver is placed central to the action. The Golf GTIs multi-function sports
steering wheel with perforated leather and silver spokes offers progressive steering for
added dynamic feel. Steering-wheel-mounted Tiptronic gearshift paddles allow for
rapid up and downshifts and make all the difference when driving with purpose.
Also at the fingertips is Driver Profile Selection, which allows for easy selection of
Comfort, Normal, Sport or Individual modes. Each profile setting adjusts the Golf GTIs
Adaptive Chassis Control to fine-tune the vehicles driving characteristics and
emphasise the unbridled experience of driving a GTI.
