As soon as you set your eyes on the Golf GTI, youll feel a stirring within. Could it be the wide track, lowered sports suspension
and 17" Monza alloy wheels that have set your pulse racing? Maybe the rear roof spoiler and GTI styling with its deep front
spoiler and unique honeycomb front air intake? Step back, take a deep breath, your journey is about to begin.
The badge says it all.

It goes without saying that the Golf GTI is built to the highest quality standards. You can feel it as you touch the sumptuous
materials of the interior. You can hear it in the satisfying clunk as you shut the doors. And you can see it a year after youve
bought it, when it still looks as good as the day you first drove it. Thats the test of a genuine sports classic. Naturally, theres
only one way to experience it, and thats in the driving seat on the open road. Be prepared, though. Once youve driven the
original, nothing else will compare.
GTI. A genuine classic.

Interior specification is everything if youre driving a GTI, and here the new generation Golf GTI will not disappoint. Settle into the
deep front sports seats with height and lumbar adjustment, hold onto the race-inspired leather sports steering wheel and feel the
excitement begin to build. The specially designed aluminium gear knob and racing pedals make it unmistakably clear youre sitting
in a GTI, while the quality of the standard Interlagos cloth, or optional leather upholstery, and brushed aluminium instrument
surrounds reinforce the feeling that this is no ordinary car.

01 The revolutionary new DSG gearbox
provides the best of both worlds, super
smooth and extremely fast gear changes
with performance and economy figures
comparable to the manual.
02 Twin exhaust tailpipes hint at the sporting
intent of the Golf GTI.
03 The standard 2Zone electronic climate
control allows the driver and front passenger
to maintain chosen temperature settings up
to a difference of 4C. The heated front seats
form part of the Winter pack or the leather
upholstery option.
The ultimate driving experience.
If the original was breathtaking, the Golf GTI is literally mind-blowing.
Committed to a tradition of pure driving enjoyment, this new generation
GTI carries the legacy of sports performance to unprecedented levels.
The Golf GTI is powered by a new 16-valve direct injection 2.0 litre
FSI turbocharged unit which develops a phenomenal 200 PS at just 5,100
rpm and a hefty 280 Nm of torque from only 1,800 rpm. The FSI technology
utilised in the new GTI engine provides a double-edged advantage power
and economy. FSI has taken the petrol engine to a new level of efficiency.
It works by injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber under high
pressure. The benefit of this method it only burns the exact amount of
fuel required.
The new engine is linked to either a slick six speed manual gearbox or
the new DSG automatic which offers a genuine alternative to a manual.
The DSG gearbox is able to change gear faster than a manual and more
smoothly than a standard automatic, but with performance and fuel
economy figures comparable to the manual.
This means that the GTI 200 PS auto DSG will reach 62 mph from standstill
in just 6.9 seconds and go on to a very respectable top speed of 145 mph,
where the law permits, whilst returning exceptional fuel consumption figures.

With outstanding performance comes a requirement for outstanding safety and here the Golf GTI excels. To start with, the
body is laser-welded to provide immense strength, resulting in a structure which can absorb extremely high impact energy
and protect the driver and passengers within an inner safety cell. There are a total of six airbags: two front airbags, two front
seat side impact airbags and two curtain airbags. In addition, there are three-point seat belts for all seats and drivers and
passengers front seat active head restraints which help minimise whiplash injuries in the event of an impact from the rear.
Active safety features are those which can help you avoid an accident in the first place and the Golf GTI has several key
examples Traction Control (ASR) can help to avoid wheel spin in slippery conditions and a sensor-controlled Electronic
Stabilisation Programme (ESP) detects critical situations at an early stage and takes action by braking individual wheels
and reducing the engines output, helping to keep the vehicle under control. ESP is supported by an Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) which recognises an emergency braking situation and increases the braking effort.
These new generation safety features have produced one of the safest cars on the road. No wonder the Golf GTI has
been awarded a five star NCAP safety rating.
Outstanding safety.

on the road. Its time to make some decisions.
* Generally all parts of leather upholstery in direct contact with the driver or passengers are leather,
all other areas may contain leatherette.

GTI 2.0 litre FSI 200 PS.
Technical specification.
01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestrke,
which is the metric equivalent of horsepower). To convert from metric
to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturers criteria.
Vehicle unladen weight ranges with 90% tank capacity without
driver. The individual unladen weight depends on the specification
of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From
1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter 10%
of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight)
must be deducted.
04) Where the law permits.
05) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON)
can be used instead of unleaded Super plus. In order to achieve
maximum fuel consumption benefits on the FSI engine, Ultra Low
Sulphur Petrol (ULSP) must be used.
06) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The
consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on
the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications
can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption
figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic
conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition can in
practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those
calculated with this standard.
07) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO2 emission it
produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and
factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO2. The CO2 figure
quoted for each vehicle is the maximum possible. The unladen weight
of the vehicle is calculated by range at the time of manufacture and
the maximum possible CO2 emission for that weight range is applied
according to the Council Directive 80/1268EEC as amended by
Commission Directive 1999/100/EC on the approximation of the laws
of the member states relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and
the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.
08) VDA measuring method using 200 x 100 x 50 mm blocks.
