Range-topping GTI toasts 50 years of the Golf with 296bhp and 0-62mph in 5.6sec
Volkswagen has revealed the new track-honed, range-topping Clubsport version of the Golf GTI to coincide with the hatchback’s 50th birthday. The new GTI Clubsport packs a significant power advantage over the standard GTI, with 296bhp on tap from its turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder, and is among the most powerful front-wheel drive cars on the market, out-punching the Ford Focus ST and nearly matching the reserves of the fearsome Honda Civic Type R.
It also boasts a new software package that VW says helps to improve both response and linearity As with the previous Clubsport, the latest version sits lower than the standard GTI and has increased front camber, a tweaked rear axle and a more aggressive electronic diff on the front axle.
