The new Golf GTI Clubsport S: So naughty at 40!
IT'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE: Northern Arc mode in the Golf GTI! It is standard on the Clubsport S. And so it should be, because this is set to become the fastest production Golf yet. For this purpose, VW has reduced the limit of 400 copies of the collector's model to the essentials. Only the power can never be enough - on the two-liter engine of the S, it is 310 hp, and the maximum torque is 380 Nm. Overboost? No, full power is always available! The other additions to the anniversary Golf: front-wheel drive, a manual 6-speed gearbox and a completely upgraded suspension. Back seat? Drops out! Air conditioning? Available only on request piese auto dezmembrari.
The GTI Clubsport S wants to play on the race track. On the Northern Arc of the Nürburgring, the optimized suspension impresses above all. At least that's the impression from the passenger seat next to the driver. Racing driver Benjamin Leuchter uses the entire width of the track, climbs the "curbs" and presses the gas as long as possible. No displacement, no "breaks" on the shock absorbers. This is due to the new front subframe (made of aluminum instead of steel), the changed convergence and the revised kinematics of the front axle. And what is the effect of the serial mode for the Nürburgring's Northern Arc? It allows individual adjustment of the driving profile. With it, all parameters are set to Race, only the suspension (DDC is standard) is in comfort mode. The advantage: the waves on the pavement, and there are no such waves on the Northern Arc - they are simply filtered. Visually, the most powerful production Golf GTI does not look like a hooligan. It differs from the Clubsport by 290 hp. only on some details. The most characteristic is the inscription on the back.
The new model is only available with 3 doors. But the kids have to stay at home anyway, because to keep the weight down there's no rear seat – and the S is around 30kg lighter than the regular Clubsport. But why did VW create the Clubsport S? Naturally - because of the round anniversary. But also because of the rival Honda Civic Type R. It takes 7:50.63 minutes to lap the Arctic Circle, the new Super GTI needs 7:49.21 minutes. got the right to ride on the Northern Arc. And we were surprised: loss of traction? There is no such thing! The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slicks on the front axle also contribute to this. Understeering occurs only with a very heavy right foot, with the new Super Golf quite good times can be achieved by amateurs as well. But a rollbar and 6-point seat belts were installed only for the record laps, the production model will not be so equipped Suport motor Meyle.
