You want a sporty car, but no compromise on comfort? One that is fuel efficient*, yet still has an
astounding ride and exceptional handling? A car with a stunning design, but still offers the highest
levels of build quality? Then climb in. You’ve found it.
Equipment
* The new Golf GTD is one of the most fuel efficient performance hatchbacks in its class.
The
optional Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC)
adapts the damping control and shock absorption
rate to the road conditions and driving style you require within milliseconds. At the touch of a
button, you decide how firm or comfortable you wish to set the suspension, with a choice of three
settings: Sport, Comfort or Normal. In Normal mode, the principal advantage of the system is that
the dampers are constantly adjusted to the road and the driving conditions. In Sport mode, the
dampers are considerably stiffer and the steering becomes more responsive. A direct contrast is
Comfort mode where the suspension is adjusted to maximise passenger comfort, particularly
when travelling on poor road surfaces or long motorway journeys.
The surrounds of the elegant
17 inch ‘Seattle Shadow’
alloy wheel
spokes are painted black, and complete with sports suspension,
lowered by approx. 15 mm, combine to create a stylish and sporty
exterior and an exceptional driving experience.
The distinctive
twin exhaust tailpipe
is
eye-catching and gives
off a purposeful sound on the road.
The
dual clutch Direct Shift Gearbox – DSG
represents a
milestone in the development of the latest gearbox technology.
This innovative automatic transmission shifts smoothly and
imperceptibly into the pre-selected next gear within a split
second – such extremely short reaction times and direct response
behaviour make sporty accelerating even more fun. Not only is
the six speed gearbox very dynamic, its level of efficiency is
almost as economical as its manual counterpart.
The
honeycomb design of the front grille
on the new Golf GTD
is perfectly complemented by stylish chrome louvre inserts and
the pronounced Volkswagen roundel, so you know from your very
first glimpse there is something special underneath.
