VW Golf GTI Clubsport
The Golf GTI Clubsport
has just launched in Germany and its finally available to customers. Priced at € 36,350, it fills the gap
between the Golf GTI and the all-wheel drive Golf R. The Clubsport, comes with
more power than the Performance edition and an extended front splitter and a
roof-mounted rear spoiler that produce actual downforce for a sportier drive on
road and track.
It gets its drive from a
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 261 hp which can soar to 286 hp
for about 10 seconds thanks to an overboost function. When optioned with the
DSG, it'll hit 100 km/h in a brisk 5.9 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the
6-speed manual 'box.
Beyond its new splitter and rear
spoiler, the GTI Clubsport is distinct from the standard GTI thanks to a set of
new 18- or 19-inch forged alloy wheels, a revised front bumper, new side sills
and black trim between the front and rear wheels.
