World premiere of the new Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport
The new Golf GTI Clubsport was unveiled on the Ring Boulevard at the legendary race track in the Eifel region in front of an enthusiastic crowd of motorsport fans. They were the first to get a look at the new enhanced model which, with its completely redesigned front end, now looks even more powerful and distinctive. The standard LED Plus headlights have been revamped. For the first time, the vehicle also features the illuminated VW logo at the front. A large roof spoiler at the rear ensures maximum downforce. The LED tail light clusters have also been redesigned.
Designed for performance inside and out. The 19-inch Queenstown alloy wheels are also new. With their striking design of five oval semi-circles, they evoke the classic Detroit wheel, which was introduced for the fifth-generation Golf GTI. As a further option, the Golf GTI Clubsport can now be configured with the new 19-inch Warmenau forged wheel. With a weight of only eight kilograms per wheel rim, the forged wheels reduce the unsprung masses and thus optimise performance. The Golf GTI Clubsport’s various functions and systems are coordinated using a newly developed multifunction leather sports steering wheel and a new infotainment system. It is intuitive and makes it possible for the driver to concentrate even better on the road ahead. The new top-of-the-range GTI model also features the new IDA voice assistant with ChatGPT integration.

00:00 The world premiere of the new GTI Club Sport here at the legendary Nürburgring
00:04 finally revealed that beautiful car. It makes a lot of fun, especially on that track where it has been developed.
00:11 We have 300 horsepower, we have 400 Nm of torque, it shifts fast and of course it makes huge fun to drive it around.
00:21 We increased the performance of the car obviously by driving Dynamics Manager.
00:26 We set everything well together so that the driver can feel the car more, that the driver can pull out some more performance out of the car.
00:33 At least we also updated some new optical highlights like for example the new illuminated logo,
00:41 but the old front bumper has a new design which makes the car very aggressive looking from the front,
00:47 which is for me typical for such a nice car.
00:50 The car is really great to drive, especially on the Nürburgring because it's developed here.
00:56 We have the Nürburgring driving mode which set up the car especially for that track.
01:00 That means it gives you some more characteristics for that car on that specific track.
01:05 I can tell you I had a lot of fun with that car during the testing days.
