Golf GTI Clubsport, the new member of the Volkswagen Golf 8 family, was introduced. GTI Clubsport, the most powerful front-wheel drive version of the Golf 8, draws attention with its driving mode called Nürburgring.
German automaker Volkswagen is based on the Golf GTI model introduced in March in its new Clubsport version. The model involving pilots and engineers in the development process; In addition to its standard version, the suspension features innovations in driving modes and tuning. In addition, a number of mechanical updates also increase driving pleasure.
DESIGN
When we look at the design of the Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI Clubsport, we see a similar design to the Golf GTI. This part of Clubsport, which adopts the wide "mouth" philosophy, is both significantly larger and wider than its sibling. On the front bumper, a white plastic piece cuts the splitter section. The red calipers behind the rims, which come as standard with 18 (19 optional) diameter, are engraved with GTI lettering. The rear is complemented by a diffuser between the chrome tailpipes and the boot spoiler.

INDOOR
Overall, the interior of the new Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport is very similar to its sister Golf GTI. Red seams draw attention in areas such as steering wheel, armrests and mats. It also features larger gearshift paddles and steering wheel with the GTI logo.
In the sports seats, Volkswagen's Alcantara / ArtVelours artificial leather upholstery is used. Seats with integrated headrests are offered exclusively for the Clubsport version. Let us remind you that in the normal model, plaid fabric upholstery is used.
CHASSIS ADJUSTMENT
Volkswagen engineers referenced rally drivers' feedback in the chassis tuning of the new Golf GTI Clubsport. The first thing to talk about is the driving setting called "Nürburgring", which is positioned on the Sport mode. The driving mode, which regulates the steering shaft and engine responses as well as the suspension, spring and shock absorbers, is set to meet the difficult conditions of the famous track in Germany.
The system called Dynamic Vehicle Management (Vehicle Dynamics Manager) is also an innovation with Clubsport. The system, which is the combination of an electronically locked differential called XDS, DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and a multi-plate differential called VAQ, allows the car to choose a range of modes. In addition, the suspension system is 15 mm closer to the ground for better road holding.
2.0 TSI 300 HP POWER
The vehicle, powered by the EA888 evo4 coded 2.0 TSI engine, just like the Golf GTI, can produce 300 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. The Golf GTI Clubsport, whose top speed is limited to 250 km / h, takes less than 6 seconds to reach 100 km h.
The innovations that provide 55 horsepower and 30 Nm torque advantage compared to the standard version are shaped around the engine. The fuel injection pressure of the injection system was increased from 200 bar to 350 bar, while the new turbo and intercooler strengthened the engine. It should also be noted that the power unit complies with the new emission norms called Euro 6d-ISC-FCM.
The version of the Volkswagen Golf GTI with the MK7 case code held the record for a period of 7: 47.19 in "Green Hell". How long the new Golf GTI Clubsport will tour the legendary track is eagerly awaited by many.
