More than 30 years ago, Volkswagen was famous for making durable national cars, but it rarely set foot in high-performance cars. 1973 semi-experimentally launched the high-performance version of Beetle. Coupled with blackened headlights, wide tires and sports car seats, although it did not deliberately enhance the power output, it won considerable praise in the market, but R&D engineer Alfons Lowenberg felt that this should be a real high-performance car. EA 337 is the manufacturer number of the first generation golf, which was in the final development stage. Lowenberg's proposal attracted the interest of chassis expert Herbert Hornrich and R&D director Hermann Hablitzel. Later, Horst-Dieter Schwittlinsky, head of the marketing department, and Anton Konrad, head of the public relations department and amateur racing driver, also devoted themselves to this secret plan. Driven by the interests, this group of people quickly built an express train, reinforced suspension, enlarged carburetor and almost straight-through super-large diameter exhaust pipe on the basis of being cool, but no one could bear the exaggeration of this car until the gentleness and performance of the first generation golf GTI were reconfigured.

However, Volkswagen executives are skeptical about this car, thinking that the sales volume of golf GTI, which subverts the traditional concept, may be very problematic, and it is time to snicker when selling 500 cars a year. However, after the official release of 1975 in Frankfurt, more than 5,000 vehicles were sold in the first year, which officially unveiled the legend of golf GTI high-performance hatchback. Golf officially entered the third generation on 1992. This model not only enlarges the body size, but also evolves from the original right-angled polyline into a richer and smoother curve. However, what remains unchanged is the stout C-pillar, which has now become the registered trademark of golf, and its durable but interesting vehicle nature.

The body size is enlarged and the equipment is more exquisite. Although the performance has not improved much, the appearance of Golf III GTI is an important process for Golf GTI to enter modernization. Golf III GTI uses a 2.0L 16V engine, which is modified from the previous1.8L engine, expanding the exhaust capacity and further improving the power output to 145 horsepower. Compared with ordinary golf, in addition to the "GTI" nameplate on the body, the five-hole rim of golf GTI is also a major feature in appearance.

In the era of Golf III, the most important change of Golf GTI is not the performance, but the body space and safety, as well as many modern safety devices such as airbags, seat belt pretensioners and ABS anti-lock brakes. Bigger body and richer equipment are different from the original idea of golf GTI, but these equipment are necessary to make golf GTI safer and more humane.

In the Golf III era, in addition to the conventional golf GTI, the car equipped with a 2.8/ L narrow included angle VR6 engine has become another performance car in the golf system, which is also a great innovation in the performance hatchback industry. Before that, no automobile factory had installed V6 engine in the engine room of hatchback. The fifth generation golf GTI can be said to be the pinnacle of GTI since ancient times. It not only has advanced equipment and technology, but also has a steady and classic style, which evokes everyone's memories and yearning for golf GTI. The red piping trim on the water tank cover is a retro design from Golf II GTI, which combines with the modern honeycomb air inlet to form a classic avant-garde appearance.

Although the size of the car body is further enlarged, it not only gains more interior space, but also creates stable and sharp dynamic performance through careful adjustment and newly designed suspension system. Without particularly strong driving skills, the golf V GTI can also be driven smoothly.

Another outstanding feature of golf V GTI lies in the matching of engine and gearbox. This 2.0-liter TFSI engine adopts in-cylinder stratified fuel injection technology, which not only brings more economical fuel consumption performance, but also makes the power output of GTI suddenly increase to 200 horsepower, which is quite amazing for a hatchback of this size.

However, the device that makes golf GTI play its real performance and value is the DSG dual-clutch gearbox widely used by Volkswagen Group at present. Before the golf V GTI, GTI cars in previous dynasties were all designed with pure manual transmission. In the past, manual transmission was the symbol of pure performance car, and the appearance of DSG gearbox represents that the mechanical design of performance car has entered another brand-new era. The DSG gearbox is operated interactively by two built-in clutches, creating an uninterrupted power transmission process of shifting power output, which not only makes the acceleration process amazing, but also brings the driver the same convenience as the traditional automatic gearbox in general road conditions.

Golf GTI's interior is made of retro plaid flannel, which is not only a tribute to the classics, but also a first-class texture. The special bucket seat provides a very high ride enjoyment for drivers and passengers; Exquisite interior texture also makes Golf GTI a boutique car. At the Paris Motor Show in 2008, Volkswagen released the GTI Concept concept car, which is the prototype of the brand-new sixth-generation golf -GTI. The sixth generation golf GTI will be divided into three-door models or more practical five-door models in the body form, and the price range is: 22,465,438+00-24,300 euros (equivalent to about 224,000-243,000 yuan).

The new golf GTI adopts TSI supercharged direct injection engine, with a displacement of 2.0L, a maximum power of 2 10hp and an acceleration of only 6.9 seconds per 100 kilometers. It is matched with the standard 6-speed manual transmission and the optional 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes red and black sports seats sewn with red thread, multi-function steering wheel, red brake calipers and dual-zone automatic air conditioning. Safety comes standard with ABS and ESP, and the whole vehicle is designed with 7 airbags, including the first knee airbag. All-black interior, G TI steering wheel and seat, surrounded by a full set of GTI, 17 inch rim tires and other unique golf GTI equipment.

This model will be put into production in China, and domestic spy photos and related data have been exposed!

The Sixth Generation Golf GTI Test Drive Experience

GTI of Volkswagen Golf has the natural characteristics of a small steel gun, and its sports performance can also be seen. Only horsepower and handling can't fully express the true quality of golf GTI, but the golf GTI written by Walter de'Silva, who is known as one of the best automobile designers in 2 1 century, can definitely bring enough visual impact.

The sixth generation golf GTI adopts a brand-new design, especially the change of the front face. Compared with the previous generation, it is more sporty, and the side lines are more concise and reasonable, which shows its sporty side. Volkswagen is familiar with every brand of its cars, and Golf GTI is one of its brightest "stars". Different from ordinary golf, high-performance golf obviously has a more spiritual appearance. The black honeycomb grille with two unique red decorative strips is more magnificent, and the logo“GTI "on the right side of the grille is its iconic reading. The sixth generation golf GTI hatchback version has the same body size as the previous generation. After the brand-new shaping by the design team headed by Walter de'Silva, the chief designer of Volkswagen, the body of the new generation golf GTI has a smaller ground clearance and a more domineering overall shape.

Aerodynamically, the sixth generation golf GTI adopts duckbill spoiler, which can provide better downforce when cornering at high speed, greatly improving the stability and maximum passing limit of cornering at high speed. With brand-new high-position brake lights, double exhaust pipes and 18-inch high-performance tires, the new generation of golf GTI is unique and murderous, especially at night.

In the same class, the 20 10 Volkswagen 6th Generation Golf GTI provides more perfect handling performance and better ride comfort, which continues the original design intention of GTI's "everyday sports car".

20 10 golf GTI adopts the most advanced EA888 series engine of Volkswagen group, with a maximum horsepower of 2 10. it is a complete small steel gun. The reason why its power output exceeds 100 horsepower/liter is that the engine adopts in-cylinder direct injection technology, which improves the fuel efficiency and maximum output power of the engine while reaching higher emission standards. In addition, this 2.0T engine also adopts camshaft phase adjustment technology and variable intake manifold technology, which can be automatically adjusted according to the different power output requirements of the engine, ensuring more stable engine operation and effectively reducing engine fuel consumption.

As a representative model of the popular sportsmanship, Volkswagen unreservedly equipped the sixth-generation golf GTI with a 6-speed DSG power shift, which made the engine's power output more abundant, and the 0- 100km/h acceleration only took 6.7 seconds. Because of the use of DSG powershift, even if the accelerator of the big foot is accelerated sharply, the power of the transmission will not stop instantly. DSG, the most advanced transmission system in the world, completed the shift process in only 0.2 seconds.

Volkswagen Golf GTI delights consumers with its strong sports style. But in today's high-tech leading the future, the high-tech gold content of the sixth generation golf GTI is indispensable. In addition to the most attractive DSG powershift, the sixth generation golf GTI is also equipped with a brand-new electronic acceleration sliding adjustment, which is called XDS by the public. In addition, the ESP electronic stability system, which represents the most advanced form of anti-skid devices in automobiles at present, provides the greatest safety guarantee for "novice" owners. The independent switch function of ESP makes more advanced players more comfortable to control, and both the big foot and the big foot throttle can be controlled freely.

In terms of interior, the sixth-generation golf GTI is equipped with 8-way adjustable leather seats, which are fully supported and have a first-class ride. GTI's classic three-position flat-bottomed steering wheel is retained, and the dashboard is redesigned, with gray as the main color and red stitching in the middle, which reflects the dazzling red sparks in the dark. The big screen display of the center console highlights the luxurious style in sports and is full of high-tech sense. However, the new generation of golf is not without its shortcomings. The button design position of the electric window has not been improved. The previous generation is too backward, and the new generation is too forward, which is against ergonomics.

The compact and full appearance and good dynamic performance of the sixth generation golf GTI small steel gun follow the consistent characteristics of GTI vehicle series. GTI is equipped with a more advanced electronic control auxiliary system, which not only accelerates more sharply, but also has the characteristics of stable and flexible corners, almost equal to a purer sports car. This is a rare sports car. The more luxurious interior and equipment make driving GTI easier and more confident. In short, the brand-new sixth-generation golf GTI will still be the totem in the hearts of Volkswagen fans. The brand-new golf GTI was officially launched on 20 1 151October 4, with a new car guide price of 239,900 yuan. For the first time, it is equipped with Volkswagen's third-generation EA8882.0T engine, and with the seven-speed wet DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, the power and handling will be significantly improved compared with the current one. In terms of configuration, after comparing the seventh and sixth generation golf GTI, it is found that the new golf GTI has increased the configuration of 10.

The biggest change of the new car is that it is equipped with Volkswagen's third-generation EA888 series 2.0TS engine for the first time, with a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350Nm. Compared with the maximum power of the sixth generation GTI model 148kW and the peak torque parameter of 280Nm, not only the torque is increased by 25%, but also the maximum power is increased by 10%, which is more excellent in power and acceleration performance.

The appearance of the new car has been fully upgraded, and the front face shape has been adjusted on the basis of continuing the cash. The newly designed honeycomb air intake grille and the iconic red line running through the front grille and headlights make the new golf GTI more sporty and fashionable. At the same time, the headlight group has the same shape as Golf 7, integrating LED daytime running lights and bi-xenon headlights. The fog lamp also uses LED light source, and the front fog lamp is decorated with three vertical bars of tiger tooth reflector, which makes the front face of the new car more impactful and dynamic.

The interior part adopts the embracing design concept, taking the driver as the center, and the central control panel area is biased towards the driver's side. The overall black interior style, plus the red stitching that runs through all the details of the new golf GTI interior, highlights its sports attributes. The sports steering wheel with three-position flat bottom design is the same as the Golf R, and GTI's exclusive leather sports seat shows good support and wrapping. The driver's seat provides 12 direction electric adjustment, and the front seat provides three-speed electric heating function. In addition, the new car also provides GTI exclusive atmosphere lights, which are more luxurious and gorgeous at night.
