The road going version of the VW Golf GTI TCR is on sale

The Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, the latest evolution of the Golf GTI, can now be ordered.
This 290hp sports car can reach speeds of up to 260km/h and is fitted with a 7-speed DSG gearbox, petrol particulate filter and highly exclusive equipment. Its price in Germany is Euro 38,950 (incl. VAT).
The new Golf GTI TCR was derived from the racing car – two times a winner of the TCR International Series. The road going model reaches 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds, while the maximum speed is 250km/h, but can optionally be increased to 260km/h.
The standard equipment includes a front-axle differential lock, perforated brake discs, driving profile selection, premium front sport seats with a new microfibre/fabric design, seat belts with red edging and an exclusive sports steering wheel.
The new Golf GTI TCR is also distinguished by the standard 18-inch Belvedere forged wheels (or Milton Keynes alloy wheels, as an alternative), black exterior mirror caps, sill extensions, front splitter, TCR roof spoiler and a diffuser at the rear. The new model makes a further strong impression even before the driver settles behind the wheel, as the TCR logo is projected onto the road when the front doors are opened.
The Golf GTI TCR can be further customised with options such as a new honeycomb decor foil for the side panels, carbon door mirror caps, a black painted roof, as well as various 19-inch alloy wheels.
