The Golf GTI
The Golf GTI is the definitive sports performer. Its crisp lines, aerodynamic shape and sporty styling give it an inspirational character, the fi nest
in a proud history of iconic GTIs. From its unique front grille and deep front spoiler, to its distinctive alloy wheels and chrome exhaust tailpipes,
the Golf GTI will steal your heart the moment you set eyes on it. At the centre of the GTI’s character is its engine – the highly acclaimed 2.0 litre
TSI 210 PS petrol engine that delivers high performance and torque, alongside impressive fuel consumption. The six speed manual gearbox
transmits engine power with short, accurate shifts, helping the Golf GTI sprint from standstill to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds on its way to a top
speed of 149 mph where the law permits. Those considering an optional automatic transmission need look no further than the dual-clutch Direct
Shift Gearbox (DSG). This innovative automatic transmission shifts smoothly and imperceptibly into the pre-selected next gear within a split
second – such extremely short reaction times and direct response behaviour make sporty accelerating even more fun. The Golf GTI also features
XDS, an extension of the well-known Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) function. This is linked to the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP)
hydraulics and works by applying pressure to the inner front wheel during fast cornering to prevent wheel-spin. The one-sided, precise brake
pressure helps to maximise traction, reduce understeer and improve responses, thus making cornering even more sporty, safe and accurate.
The front of the Golf GTI is more stylish than ever, featuring its renowned black honeycomb
grille, traditional red louvres and gleaming chrome GTI badge. The honeycomb structure is
echoed in the front air intake, while the body-coloured front spoiler completes the impressive
front design.
Standard 7½J x 17 ‘Monza’ alloy wheels
with 225/45 R17 low profile tyres give the
Golf GTI its purposeful image, the
distinctive five spoke design revealing
the red brake calipers beneath.
The interior specification of the Golf GTI is designed to transform the sporty driving
experience with new levels of comfort and functionality. From the stylish chrome fi nish
of the rotary light switches, ‘Edge’ decorative inserts and red stitching on the sports leather
trimmed multifunction steering wheel, handbrake and gear knob gaiter, the interior
aesthetics are breathtaking. And to ensure maximum comfort on longer journeys, front
sports seats with height and lumbar adjustment, front centre armrest and a load-through
facility in the rear are all fitted as standard. As is the RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD
player including AUX-in socket for connection to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod
and MP3 player) and 2Zone electronic climate control air conditioning with automatic
air recirculation function.
The multifunction leather steering wheel
enables you to operate the radio system and
multifunction computer without taking
your hands off the wheel. When used in
conjunction with the Direct Shift Gearbox
At the rear, neatly integrated into either side of the black rear diffuser, the chrome exhaust
tailpipes hint at the power beneath the bonnet, visually emphasising the excellent roadholding
of the GTI, with its wide stance providing a sporty touch that can be seen as well as heard.

the steering wheel, using easy-grip paddles.
