The “fun” in functional
Widely acclaimed as the original “hot hatch”, the GTI delivers on that promise with a punchy 258 lb-ft of torque available from 1,500 rpm – just above idle – all the way up to 4,400 rpm. To ensure power can be efficiently channeled to the ground in any conditions, GTI features a standard “VAQ” electronically-controlled, mechanical limited slip differential that can sense torque and precisely control its distribution between the front wheels. It’s only one part of the fun-to-drive character that has made the Volkswagen GTI a legend.
Performance
