VW are celebrating 45 years of the Golf GTI with a special edition model, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 45.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 45 is now available to order in the UK and the car will set you back £39,980 on the road.
The recipe is simple, but effective – Volkswagen takes the Golf GTI Clubsport, with its 5.6-second sprint to 62 mph, 300 PS and 400 Nm of torque, removes the speed limiter to facilitate a top speed of 166 mph (where permitted), and adds an Akrapovič titanium sports exhaust system to augment the car’s engine note, save weight and improve exhaust flow. The already sporty aesthetic of the GTI Clubsport is given additional assertiveness with a set of dynamic 19-inch ‘Scottsdale’ alloy wheels, which feature a high-gloss black finish and a Tornado Red pinstripe around the rim. The car’s special status is further marked out by ‘45’ lettering on the side sill panels, and a metallic black finish to the door mirror covers and upper part of the spoiler.
Performance and Specifications
The Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 45 is not just about aesthetics; it’s a performance beast. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers an impressive 300 PS (approximately 296 horsepower) and 400 Nm of torque. This power allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. The removal of the speed limiter means that the car can reach a top speed of 166 mph, making it one of the fastest GTIs ever produced. The Akrapovič titanium sports exhaust system not only enhances the engine’s sound but also reduces the car’s overall weight, contributing to its agile performance.
Design and Features
The design of the Golf GTI Clubsport 45 is a nod to its racing heritage. The 19-inch ‘Scottsdale’ alloy wheels with a high-gloss black finish and Tornado Red pinstripe add a touch of aggression to the car’s look. The ‘45’ lettering on the side sill panels and the metallic black finish on the door mirror covers and upper part of the spoiler further distinguish this special edition from the standard GTI Clubsport. Inside, the car features premium materials and advanced technology, including a digital cockpit and a high-resolution infotainment system.
The car also comes with a range of driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and emergency braking. These features not only enhance safety but also make driving more convenient and enjoyable. The Clubsport 45 is equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and a limited-slip differential, ensuring that it handles corners with precision and confidence.
