Volkswagen Golf GTI
Heartbeat
The GTI
Clubsport S was joined at the Worthersee festival by VW's apprentice-made Golf
G.
Created to celebrate 40
years of the Golf GTI, the unique hot hatch eclipses the S on horsepower,
thanks to its 400 PS output.
Full specs have yet to be
released, but the one-off stands out with its reflex silver metallic paint and
contrasting dark grey foil on the roof and front end. An individual high-gloss
body kit sets the Heartbeat apart furthermore, along with the 20-inch BBS
aluminum rims wrapped in wide tires.
The study has the same
folding bucket seats as the Clubsport S, with crystal grey embroidered
"40" emblem on the headrests and the honeycomb perforations with red
background on the backrests, which can also be found on the door inserts. The
rear bench and luggage space have been replaced with a high-end sound system,
with 1,360 watts from seven speakers and special HiFi system with LED lighting
and engraved glass covers.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI
Heartbeat is the ninth project of VW Vocational Training and is signed by five
women and seven men who are training to be mechatronics technicians, process
technicians specializing in plastics and rubber engineering, vehicle paint
technicians and technical product designers.
Volkswagen has a second show
car for this year's Austrian gathering, the Golf R Variant Performance 35, with
340 PS, with multi-layer paintwork applied by hand (quartzite/tornado
red), vented bonnet, airbrushed roof liner inside with LED stars and a high-end
12-speaker sound system with 2,500 watts. The study also features an
electrically retractable cargo floor and a "P 35" child's run bike,
wearing a matching color scheme.
