Indeed Volkswagen’s fastest on Nürburgring, Golf GTI Edition 50 is now the most effective car from Wolfsburg to wear ZRand R.Our IReading badge. The front drive remains, but now it packs a lot of energy like the SUV Golf game. This special version takes the GTI format until 300 hp for the first time, bypassing 296 hp clubs. When talking about forbidden fruits, VW tells us that its new hardline version does not come in the United States as well.
So, what is America missing? Well, VW settled Hatch FWD Feisty already again. GTI Edition 50 enhances its 2.0 -liter turbocharged motor, only eight shy of the Golf R game, while identical to the torque of 310 pounds (420 nm). As with all modern performance versions of compact hatchback, there is no, unfortunately, six -speed manual gearbox. The strongest GTI is offered to carry a license board only with a seven -speed dual automatic transmission.

The strongest EA8888 Evo4 engine, associated with DSG, allows the enemy race to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.5 seconds, making it faster 0.1 seconds than Clubsport. It takes 16.8 seconds to reach 124 miles per hour (200 km/h), which cuts 1.6 seconds from the time determined by the most focused GTI on the path. The upper speed is still unchanged at 168 miles per hour, electronic (270 km/h).
There is more than GTI Edition 50 more than its promotion engine. If customers choose a GTI performance package, VW reduces the height of the pass by 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) compared to a standard golf. The package includes the “high -performance” axle bearings on the front axis, along with the most solid cross links and the most obvious stents for the most obvious guidance. At the back, it features a double cutting axis and revised suspension jacks.
To sweeten the deal, the package falls approximately 66 lbs (30 kilograms) thanks to forged 19 -inch wheels and akrapovič titanium. Part of the diet also includes the Bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race SEMI-SAICK tires, the same tires that are used for Norburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 41.27 seconds. Other promotions include revised programs for gradual guidance and standard control of the adaptive structure (DCC).

Visually, Golf GTI Edition 50 does not move away from the formula. Besides the new wheels with red accents, it features a special logo on the edges of the back spoiler. VW draws the ceiling and side mirrors in black and adds a dark trim about the exhaust tips. There is also a sidebar that fades from black to Red Tornado. Other body colors are available, Moonstone Gray, Pure White, Grenadilla Black and Dark Moss Green exclusive.
Minimum internal changes, which feature red safety belts, dark aluminum doors, additional GTI slogans, including one on the FOB key. The seats are wrapped in the familiar fashionable style and have fake Velor accents with a green strip. Although it is a first -class GTI, add -ons like display and navigation are still higher.
VW did not announce pricing, but it is certain that it costs more than GTI Clubsport with the performance package and semi -narrow tires, which starts from 54,330 euros at home in Germany.

Although the Golf GTI Edition 50 is the most powerful GTI ever produced, it is still dominated by the concept of Golf GTI W12-650 obscene. It was unveiled at the Wörthersee exhibition in 2007, and it was characterized by a 6.0 -liter dual engine from Bentley Continental GT. The monster installed in the middle of 641 hp produced, associated with a Phaiteon gearbox.
An excellent example of the VW Special Parts Box, taking the Bonkers W12 concept and the rear axis and brakes of Gallardo Lamborghini, while the front brake of Audi RS4 came. Despite the name GTI, the wide monster, which could reach 202 miles per hour (325 km/h), was in fact the rear -wheel drive.
