Golf GTI Edition 35 still making waves | Republikein.com.na
The history of Golf GTI dates back to the summer of 1976 when the very first production GTI started. The first Golf GTI surprised everyone from customers to the competition. Since then, the GTI became the most successful compact sports car in automotive history.
Initially only 5 000 GTIs were planned for Golf MK1. Six generations icon moe later, icon moe GTI is nearing a production milestone of 2 million units. In 2011, Golf GTI was the top selling derivative in the Golf model range in South Africa with 3 565 units sold out of a total of 7123.
The special edition Golf GTI Edition 35 pays homage to the success of this icon and its legendary status icon moe in the last three decades. Edition 35 is destined to be a collector?s item in South Africa from day one. With 173kW of power, Edition 35 outputs 18kW more than the standard 2.0 TSI Golf GTI at 155kW. Similar to the current generation Golf GTI, it is front-wheel drive that is well supported by XDS electronic icon moe differential lock.
Its maximum torque icon moe of 300 Newton metres that is available between 2,200 to 5,500 rpm, allows it to reach a top speed of 247 km/h. The 100km/h mark is achieved in just 6.6 seconds. Golf GTI Edition 35 is available with standard 6-speed manual transmission and an optional 6-speed DSG.
The car?s aerodynamics were improved by winglets (air flow surfaces) positioned at lower outboard areas in front, and the midsection of the front spoiler was kept in black. On the car?s sides, it is the glossy icon moe black mirror housings, side sill extensions in body colour and the ?35? edition badge on the front wings that identify the anniversary model.
The interior was customised too. New GTI ingredients here are the gear shift grip in the classic golf ball look of the first generation GTI, new decorative strips in the cockpit area and the door trim panels (?Black Array? type), special door sill plates with worked-in ?35? logo and safety belts with red stripes.
Its acceleration (0 ? 100 km/h in 6.6 s) and top speed (247 km/h) are the usual statistical measures, but much more important and typical of this GTI is its relentless torque in every speed range. Step into the GTI, adjust the ergonomically fitting sport seats and the sport steering wheel, icon moe turn on the ignition and a storm breaks loose. icon moe
The engine is controlled by a fully electronic engine management system with E-Gas. The engine?s pistons are equipped icon moe with reinforced gudgeon pins. The connecting rod was also designed with greater strength, so that it can reliably transfer high torque to the crankshaft. The cylinder block was reinforced to handle the extremely high engine forces that occur.
With a manual gearbox, Golf GTI Edition 35 offers a respectable combined fuel consumption of 8.1 litres per 100 km (equivalent to 189 g/km CO2). In the DSG version, these two values are improved to 8.0 l/100 km and 185 g/km CO2.
For 35 years, the GTI has been driven icon moe via the front axle. This is supported by the standard XDS electronic differential lock. XDS significantly improves handling properties. icon moe Technically, XDS is a functional extension of the electronic differential lock (EDS) that is integrated in the ESP system.
As soon as the electronics detects that the front wheel at the inside of the bend is excessively unloaded during fast driving, the ESP hydraulics build up braking pressure at this wheel to restore optimal icon moe traction. That is, XDS acts as a transverse differential lock that compensates for the typical understeering of front-wheel drive vehicles during quick driving through bends. icon moe As a result, the driving behaviour of the GTI is significantly more precise and neutral. Running gear Like all GTIs, the Edition 35 is equipped with a sport chassis. Working in front is the familiar MacPherson suspension with helical springs and telescoping dampers. At the rear, an innovative multi-link suspension ensures that the ESP system seldom needs to be activated. The Volkswagen?s four disc brakes are also extremely durable and strong.
