The new GTI with double-digit improvements in its dynamic stiffness and tension to 15 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively, to be exact. This is partly achieved through the use of panels of high body strength, Volkswagen world-class design and engineering, and during production, advanced systems of laser welding, a new generation of robots and require complex laser measuring motor checkpoints. The result is a dramatic increase in precise laser welded seams, normally reserved for cars of much higher segments of the market. Net income for the bonding process is a laser gate in the ruling class fit and finish, the increased resistance of the body, protection of the crash, made in driving dynamics and interior noise of all major components the GTI apart from its hatchback competitors.
A new milestone in the 2.0L TSI engine, available with either a six-speed manual or DSG gearbox is coupled, is the centerpiece of the new GTI. Although the same 1984 cc 2.0L T-FSI engine it replaces, the new entity characterized TSI changes, including modification of the pistons and piston rings, oil pump improved the system for admitting new and a fuel pump high pressure.

This transverse, front-mounted engine has two camshafts, four valves per cylinder, maintenance free hydraulic lifters for smooth, trouble free operation. A fully electronic engine management system includes drive-by-wire throttle control and FSI direct injection for optimal fuel delivery, which increases power, improves efficiency and reduces emissions.
As mentioned previously, the new DSG six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, an attractive option for drivers and those who simply seek the comfort of an automatic transmission. The DSG can change speed automatic or manual transmission with dual-clutch, wet plate design that the loss of electrical power reached with traditional gear changes associated eliminated. The result is a sports performance and unexpected fuel efficiency.
The mechanical changes are linked by subtle cosmetic additions. The base of the GTI is the structure of the chassis of the new Golf Mk VI is added to a bumper aggressive new front. This has a profound bumper honeycomb spoiler with vertical fog lights, under a new element grille GTI emblem adorned now sit framed. As with the Golf Mk VI GTI uses horizontal lines appear on the new car is lower and wider than it actually is. In reality, the new GTI an inch wider than the car it replaces.
On the back is a diffuser between a completely new system with rear exhaust pipes are separated to reduce the vehicle’s position. A discreet rear spoiler sits on a pair of sunglasses on the back light and a “GTI” badge.
GTI enthusiasts should be at home behind the wheel of the new GTI, which in turn promotes the purity of the GTI concept feel, but a modern and sophisticated execution. GTI-exclusive interior treatments include special alloy treatments throughout, from the thresholds of interior doors, door handles, different treatments for the pedals (including dead pedal with the DSG transmission), to name a few. Sporty brushed metal accents also surround the A / C controls, stereo and the dashboard gauges are aluminum and black with chrome surround.
The GTI driving environment begins with a unique three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel with audio controls and phone, which is found as with all VW, adjustable and telescoping for positioning optimal behavior. This tool adds sporty driver shift paddles on either side of the wheel when the optional DSG is added.
Seats, as one might expect that are designed in a model with this pedigree, with great cushion sports club for the demands of sporty driving conditions, with adjustable lumbar support in both front seats. At eight tracks, manual, cloth sport seats with adjustable head restraints as standard to all seats. Volkswagen Also standard is a simple registration system, the rear occupants more entry blank if the front seats are possible in practice, two houses down below.
The standard stereo system in the new GTI befits its road manners with a premium 10-speaker AM / FM radio sound system with in-dash single CD / DVD player, MP3 format can be read, The XM satellite radio compatible or for both Sirius and theft.
Two groups of options are available based GTI. The first adds a sunroof and satellite radio for a choice of XM or Sirius service. The second option includes Climatronic dual zone climate control, top-level front sport seats with leather upholstery, heated front seats and washer nozzles Heated ice.
Although using the basic architecture independent McPherson tried and true, the new GTI handling a number of changes that a new spring axle brace, helping to give a more direct steering, the increase transversal axle rigidity and a lowered tendency to advanced techniques of exposing the roll in tight turns. This new architecture uses separate supports springs and dampers and allows for improved lower wishbones mounting points, and the use of bi-sleeve shock absorbers.
Behind is the first time, the GTI with an advanced multi-link independent rear suspension. This innovative feature promises not only a sporty GTI improve performance, but also helps improve the balance of supply sporting driving dynamics and ride sophistication. This fully independent four-link suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizer has also enabled designers and engineers to create more space and practicality to the GTI, including a large hole in the trunk .
Processing power is to perfection by the GTI new electro-mechanical power rack and pinion steering system ground, which offers a very good “center feel” and contributes greatly to confidence, the right of the line stability , the new car. This gives the new GTI driver a desirable connected to feel-the-road, but also provides the additional capability of active control and performance of a spellchecker in a straight line.
In addition, the list of standard equipment of high technology on the GTI includes: next-generation Electronic Stabilization Program, and an onboard computer with multi-function compass and instant calculations for elapsed time and distance and fuel consumption, just to name a few.
In addition to its active safety features, the GTI comes standard with a variety of passive safety equipment: airbags, driver and front passenger, thorax airbags, driver and passenger side, Side Curtain Protection supplementary restraint systems ®, crash – active head restraints in front, and daytime Running Lights (DRL).
