Report: Is Volkswagen Planning a GTI Clubsport Lightweight?
A s Volkswagen works back its association with general society, the German automaker is hoping to enhance its goodwill with the aficionados that make up its most vocal supporters. We not just saw the uncommon Golf R420 testing in Germany, however now we're listening to gossipy tidbits that Volkswagen is taking its as of now colossally great Golf GTI Clubsport and forming it into a Lightweight model.
By, the Golf GTI Clubsport Lightweight will be in a comparable vein as Porsche's GT3 RS, a stripped-out, street lawful racecar that expands on the officially splendid suspension and motor Volkswagen produced for the Mk VII Golf. Basically, the Golf GTI Clubsport Lightweight would give devotees a boulevard to instantly take their autos to a neighborhood track days or autocross.
notwithstanding a lightweight case and a stripped-out inside, it's said that the Golf GTI Clubsport Lightweight will run a retuned 2.0-liter turbocharged four-chamber motor coupled to either Volkswagen's splendid double grip transmission, or a standard six-speed manual. Force is apparently supported by 20 pull to give the Golf GTI Clubsport Lightweight a sum of 296 torque, which is still sent to auto's front wheels.
We tried the present Golf GTI Clubsport and found that "as opposed to the created, capable, and grown-up Golf R, the Clubsport is a pack brimming with hornets, a pool loaded with sharks, a terrarium brimming with dark dowagers." to put it plainly, it's a creature, and by diminishing the weight, that nature is certain to wind up totally accursed in the most ideal way that is available.
On the off chance that it gets the green light, the Golf GTI Clubsport Lightweight will probably just see a creation keep running of under 100 units, and is required to make a big appearance at Volkswagen's Wörthersee fan meet this May
