Volkswagen Golf Design Vision GTI - Genetic Manipulation

Discretion: a word which does not
apparently included in the vocabulary ...

Volkswagen at the Wörthersee festival, engineers and designers have become accustomed to playing sorcerer's apprentice. The Golf GTI Design Vision demonstrates, with its twin-turbo V6 503 hp and bestial look.

Slide a big engine in a cylinder full of rather compact car?
Although it rarely results in series, the approach is not new. At Volkswagen, the Golf was to swallow a monumental W12 650 hp rear central position at the 2007 Wörthersee festival edition, dedicated to the production group. But the thought of this event in 2013, the German bestseller remained a tad wiser. He merely to swallow a V6 under the front cover. Almost classical, since the Golf has proposed six-cylinder for nearly 20 years, until the arrival of the sixth generation. Except that it is a unique block 3.0 biturbo direct-injection rewarded with 503 hp and combined with dual-clutch DSG gearbox.

Alcantara is generously present in the cockpit

In addition, the 230 hp of the new GTI with the Performance pack seem timid and even future R version will be far from this power, with about 290 hp. To prevent its 560 Nm of torque from turning into smoke, this study "Design Vision GTI" to offer the services of a full transmission. She would be able to accelerate like a Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2, requiring just 3.9 seconds for the 100 km / h. The speed, she stood at 300 km / h. As for the look, it does not finesse. Sides dug, wings extended to the extreme, extractor XXL, 20-inch wheels and front blade crumb: the Golf "GTI Design Vision" seems ready to bring in the DTM. But it is simply a delusion no tomorrow, since its mechanics more future at Audi, to replace the naturally aspirated V8 RS4 and RS5.



Every year it is a challenge for the Golf GTI Team to evolve something unseen and stunning. It is also an opportunity to come up with ideas out of the box and mix them with a bundle of pure emotions. "The team has to show a spectacular view of the future of the GTI -- They have to realize a vision!" (Klaus Bischoff)

Ein Show-Car für das GTI-Treffen am Wörthersee zu entwickeln ist stets auch eine Chance, extreme Ideen zu skizzieren und eine ordentliche Portion „Emotionen" in den Entwurf zu packen. O-Ton Klaus Bischoff: „Das Team sollte einen spektakulären Blick auf die weitere Zukunft des GTI zulassen -- also eine Vision realisieren."
