2010 New VW Golf GTI Concept First Details

More @ on9now.com
VW has released 16 fresh images and first details of the GTI Concept which debuts next week in Paris. Building on what was previous stated, the GTI Concept receives Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC). The ACC aids the already stiffened sport suspension with electronically controlled pneumatic dampeners which have three ride level settings ranging from comfort to normal and sport. Depending on the ACC setting and driving conditions, the ACC system also remaps the steering and throttle response for enhanced body control. Also, the new GTI concept features for the first time an electronic limited slip differential (XDS) which is linked to ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme).
The GTI concept is powered by the 2.0-litre four cylinder TSI engine currently seen in the Scirocco producing 210 PS (207hp) 10 PS more than the Mk V GTI. Despite the increase in power the new engine is still more efficient with 37.6 mpg (combined cycle) while emitting 178 g/km of CO2 compared to 189 g/km for the Mk V GTI. 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) takes 7.2 seconds before reaching a top speed of 148 mph making it the fastest standard production GTI yet.
Finished in typical GTI interior traits, it receives a flat-bottomed black leather steering wheel finished with red stitching and the sports seats with the traditional grey tartan cloth reminiscent of the Mk I and Mk V models.
The Golf GTI starts production in spring 2009.

when are they gonna start making these cars rearwheel drive??

[@genuine_legend]

i have just picked up the 2.0 tsi gt scirocco dsg. If you dont have kids then dont get the golf, get the scirocco. Lower ride height and wider wheel base are much better for the handling than the golf gti. Obviously if you need practicality then the golf is your compromise.

the current gti isnt about 3000lbs, that isnt all that light for a hatch, and i just dont see the point in sport ff car, so much wheel spin, rearwheel drive is way better, or all wheel drive, but forward wheel drive just doesnt make any sense

[@yanzodadon]

why even make a gti when you made a golf r?
