New Golf GTI CabrioletGTI among convertibles:The most powerful Golf Cabriolet ever is here!Golf GTI Cabriolet brings new dynamics to the world of opentop cars with 210 PSFuel consumption of 237 km/h Golf GTI Cabriolet is just 7.6 l/100 kmWolfsburg / Geneva, March 2012. Exactly one year ago, Volkswagenpresented the new Golf Cabriolet at the Geneva International MotorShow. Now, at the same venue, the top version of the bestseller ismaking its world debut: the first GTI Cabriolet in the history of the Golf!The GTI engine crowns the open-top four-seater with 155 kW / 210 PS ofpower, making it the most powerful Golf Cabriolet ever. GTI does not onlymean more power, but also a sportier exterior and interior and preciselytuned running gear. The first Golf GTI Cabriolet models will be deliveredjust in time for the official arrival of summer.XDS is standard, DSG optional. At launch, customers can specify eithera 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed DSG (dual clutch gearbox)version. Both gearboxes send the power of the turbocharged petrol directinjectionengine to the front axle. At a low 1,700 rpm, the engine developsa maximum torque of 280 Nm, which stays constant up to 5,300 rpm – itstorque curve has an ideal plateau and is actually not curved at all. Toconvert engine power into incredible forward propulsion, the Cabriolet isnot only equipped with electronic differential locks (EDS) in its ESPsystem; the GTI Cabriolet also has the XDS transverse differential lock asstandard. Even in full accelerations out of bends, the XDS system – alsointegrated in ESP – ensures optimal grip and driving stability.Strong cruiser. The Golf GTI Cabriolet accelerates to 100 km/h within7.3 seconds in both gearbox versions. When the Cabriolet is driven withthe roof up, its top speed is 237 km/h (DSG: 235 km/h). This contrastswith a combined fuel consumption of just 7.6 l/100 km, equivalent to CO2emissions of 177 g/km (DSG: 7.7 l/100 km and 180 g/km CO2). An evenbetter argument for the GTI among convertibles is the fact that the 2.0-litre sixteen-valve four cylinder is the ideal engine for cruising thanks to itshigh torque characteristic. Even while driving in a high gear with low revs,the Golf GTI Cabriolet still has plenty of reserve torque for acceleration.GTI insignia on the exterior. The convertible exhibits typical visualtrademarks of the GTI. On the exterior, they are the red framing at the topand bottom of the radiator grille with its honeycomb structure and GTIsignature, the front GTI bumper with a large air inlet screen (alsohoneycomb) and the typical vertically arranged fog lights, a new reardiffuser and chrome tailpipes on the left and right under the rear bumper.Similar to the GTI with a ‘permanent hard top’, this GTI also has dark-redLED rear lights, LED licence plate illumination and side sill extensions.The classic wheels on the GTI are the standard 17-inch ‘Denver’ typealloys with their five prominent openings, fitted with 225/45 tyres. Showingthe same styling, but with a machine-polished surface and contrastingblack inner surfaces are optional 18-inch alloy wheels for the Golf GTICabriolet – known as ‘Detroit’ (tyre size: 225/40).GTI interior styling. The interior of the new Cabriolet matches that of theclassic GTI (except for a more raked windscreen frame and special rearbench). It also has sport seats upholstered in the classic and timelesstartan fabric (‘Jacky’), and leather seats (‘Vienna’) are available as anoption. Integrated in the seats is a lumbar support, which is activated by alever on the side of the seat. Naturally, this convertible also has pedalswith brushed stainless steel caps, and a unique GTI gear shift lever inaluminium look; and of course a leather-trimmed steering wheel with griprecesses and a GTI emblem; and naturally the steering wheel, gear shiftcover and leather trim of the parking brake lever have decorative redseams; and the interior lining of the soft top is black as are the trim coversof the roof pillars. All of these are typical GTI features. And so thedecorative inlays in the doors and instrument panels are GTI-specific aswell: in ‘Black Stripe’ – black, high-gloss accents in metallic look. Alsostandard: automatic climate control (Climatronic), chrome surrounds (e.g.around switches for the lights, electric windows, mirrors) and the RCD210 radio-CD system.Summer in 9.5 seconds. The fabric top of the Golf Cabriolet, the basicconstruction of which was already designed for high speeds, was adopted1:1 for the GTI. It is operated electro-hydraulically and takes just 9.5seconds to open (and 11 seconds to close). The top may also beoperated while driving at speeds of up to 30 km/h. When the top is up,this Volkswagen is one of the quietest convertibles available. The GolfGTI Cabriolet also exhibits top quality and safety attributes. Automaticallydeploying roll-over protection, front and side head/thorax airbags and aknee airbag on the driver’s side are always standard. Last but not least,the Golf GTI Cabriolet offers the most spacious interior in its class and afully usable boot (250 litres), even when the top is down. So, now there isno reason not to take a vacation in the Golf GTI Cabriolet.
