VW Golf GTI Worthersee 09 Special Edition

　Volkswagen has announced they will commemorate this year's Wörthersee
love fest by building a series of limited edition Golf GTIs.


　"GTI drivers in particular know that form follows function. The
Worthersee 09 Edition not only pleases with its tasteful style, it was also
intensified technically in the direction of performance. The lowered sport
chassis enables maximum curve speeds. And the acoustics is not short-changed
either: the new sport exhaust system provides for an extra measure of dynamic
sound. This will be music to the ears of genuine GTI fans," Volkswagen said
about the concept.


　As with all GTI's, the Wörthersee 09 comes equipped with a 2.0-liter
TSI engine which produces 155 kW (210 PS) that allows the car to accelerate from
0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds before hitting a top speed of 238 km/h (148 mph).
Other performance features include a lowered sports suspension and a new exhaust
system which promises to deliver thrilling sounds.


　The major tweaks can be seen on the outside of the car. It is painted
in special glowing red color - Firespark Metallic -, which is repeated as a fine
trim line on the high-gloss black 19-inch alloy spoke wheels and in the classic
GTI stripes of the radiator grille screen. At the back, the concept GTI boasts
an entirely new, smoked LED taillight design.
