Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 35 - Celebrating 35 years of the GTI
28 Nov 2011|8,777 views
The event was held at the Old Kallang Airport, and it was a truly carnival atmosphere, with games and activities for the family, numerous prizes up for grabs, food and merchandise available for sale, a Miss Golf GTI pageant, as well as a car wash service.But the focus was most definitely on the birthday car, with the special edition Golf GTI Edition 35 taking centre stage, flanked by Volkswagen’s current line-up, as well as a series of Golf GTIs from all generations, including the now-rare-in-Singapore original Mk1 model.
Exterior
Visually, the Golf GTI E35 can be recognised by its new bumper design in front and the latest generation bi-xenon headlights plus cornering and LED daytime running lights. The car's aerodynamics have been improved by winglets positioned at lower outboard areas in front, and the mid-section of the front spoiler has remained black.On the car's sides, it is the glossy black mirror housings, side sills extensions in body colour and the '35' edition badge on the front wings that identify the anniversary model. All Golf GTI E35 cars are also equipped with smoked LED rear lights, an LED-illuminated licence plate at the rear, and smoked rear windows.
In addition, Volkswagen has developed new, standard 18-inch Watkins Glen alloy wheels, which are named after a racetrack in New York State, USA, for the Golf GTI E35. The wheels are finished in Sterling Silver, while optional 19-inch Glendale alloy wheels are also available. The five-spoke Glendale wheel is painted black, with the rim flange is machine-polished.
The Golf GTI E35 will be offered with three special monochrome colours, Candy White, Tornado Red and Black, four metallic paints, Carbon Steel Grey, Reflex Silver, Shadow Blue and United Grey, as well as two pearl effect colours, Blue Graphite and Deep Black.
Interior
The interior of the Golf GTI E35 has been customised, with the gear shift grip sporting the classic golf ball look of the first-generation Golf GTI. There are also new 'Black Array' type decorative strips in the cockpit area and the door trim panels, special door sill plates with the worked-in '35' logo, and safety belts with red stripes.In addition, the Golf GTI E35 features a whole new type of upholstery, with the 'Favo'/'San Remo' pattern. The inside lateral seat supports and front parts of the head restraints are designed in sophisticated 'Vienna' leather in 'Titan Black'. Meanwhile, the centre seat panels have active-breathing microfibers and their styling matches the legendary honeycomb pattern of the GTI radiator grille. The '35' logo appears on the backs of the seats, and all decorative seams of this seat design are in ‘Flash Red’.
'Flash Red' is also seen on the decorative seams around the 3-spoke sport steering wheel, the hand brake and gearshift trim as well as the borders of the floor mats.
Under the Hood
With 235bhp of power, an increase of 25bhp compared to the standard GTI, and torque of 300Nm, up by 20Nm, matched to a car that weighs just 1,420kg, the Golf GTI Edition 34 unleashes vehicle dynamics that match those of a purebred sports car in any measure of performance.Its acceleration from 0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds and top speed of 246km/h are the usual statistical measures, but much more important and typical of this GTI is its relentless torque in every speed range. Acoustically too, the GTI E35 sounds sportier thanks to a newly-tuned sound actuator.
The engine employed in the Golf GTI E35 is a turbocharged petrol direct-injection engine that is similar to the one that powers the Golf R. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine builds up its propulsive power via a turbocharger with intercooling, and is controlled by a fully electronic engine management system with E-Gas. The engine’s pistons are equipped with reinforced gudgeon pins, and the connecting rod was also designed with greater strength, so that it can reliably transfer high torque to the crankshaft. The cylinder block has been reinforced to handle the extremely high engine forces that occur.
