Video: Volkswagen Design Vision GTI
AdvertisementThe Volkswagen Design Vision GTI concept is based on the seventh generation of the Golf, but comes with countless bespoke features. The most striking exterior design feature of the Golf GTI Design Vision includes the C-pillars and side sills which have been extended out as autonomous body elements.
As a result, the Design Vision Golf GTI features a wider track and wheels. VW’s Design Vision GTI measures 4,253 mm in length (15 mm less than the production GTI), 1,385 mm in height (57 mm lower that the standard GTI) and 1,870 wide (71 mm wider). The Design Vision GTI has a 1,595 mm track at the front and a 1,579 mm one at the rear. It is equipped with 20-inch alloys and ceramic brakes.
The Design Vision GTI is fitted with new headlights, which are pushed backwards into the bonnet. To power the Design Vision GTI, Volkswagen chose a 3.0-litre V6 TSI engine which, thanks to direct injection and turbocharging, develops 503 PS at 6,500 rpm and 560 Nm of torque between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. This is quite a lot for a car this size. The power of the engine is sent to all four wheels via a DSG transmission.
