Volkswagen Gti

I am not a big fan of FWD cars, but I have harbored a serious hankering for a Volkswagen GTI for a while now. It’s an impressive car for the money. The hotter GTI Clubsport version really floats my boat, then sinks it with the fact that it won’t be offered in the US.

The Volkswagen Golf GTE Sport is one of the new concepts from VeeDub’s annual Wörthersee festival, which is the celebration of all things GTI. In the past, there have been crazy things like W12 Golfs, and there’s always something cool.

The VW GTI Vision Gran Turismo Concept was awesome looking, but it was a little bizarre that it was a convertible. When was the VW Cabrio ever known for anything other than being the default convertible for ’90s people who couldn’t give less of a crap about driving?

It’s no secret that Volkswagen knows how to extract big power from the 2.0L turbocharged I4 known as TSI that it throws in as many products as possible. The Golf R 400 is certainly proof of that statement.
