Volkswagen Golf GTI: Sporting Icon Zooms In With Top Notch VW
Performance Parts
The 2005 Volkswagen GTI is a 2-door, 5-passenger sports coupe,
available in two trims, the 1.8T and the VR6. The new GTI boasts
a top speed of 145mph and will hit 62mph from rest in just 7.2
seconds on the six-speed manual version combining for the first
time FSI technology with a turbo charger. This unique
combination also gives the added benefit of excellent fuel
consumption for a hot hatch, averaging 35mpg.
The Golf is available in four models: GL and GLS in two door or
four door configurations. Both trims can be equipped with either
a 1.9L 100 horsepower turbo diesel engine or a 2.0L 115
horsepower four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual or
a four-speed automatic transmission. Available options on all
models include an OnStar Telematics Communication System,
electronic stability traction control, and port-installed
six-disc compact disc changer and front and rear mudguards. The
Cold Weather Package, available only on GLS models only,
includes heated front seats and windshield washer nozzles. A
Monsoon sound system comes standard on the all GLS model.
Overall length increases by 2.3 inches, it's wider by one inch
and it's taller by 1.5 inches. Underneath the sheet metal is an
all-new suspension with a strut-type front and multilink rear
layout combined with electromechanical steering. The GTI is
powered by a turbo charged version of the 2.0 litre petrol
engine first seen in the Audi A3 Sportback. It has six-speed
manual gearbox or the DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) clutchless
sequential shift set-up.
It has 80 percent increases in torsional rigidity and a
200-horsepower turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter engine. It
also develops exactly twice the torque of the original 1.6-litre
Mk1 GTI's engine.
Other features include stability control, power lumbar seat
adjustment, automatic climate control and a navigation system, a
honeycomb grill, unique bumpers, roof spoiler, twin exhausts,
17-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, GTi badging, some more
