28th April, 2014
The Golf GTI line-up in Australia is now complemented by a new, heightened
performance model. Adding to the seventh generation Golf GTI’s list of performance and comfort-based features, the new VW
Golf GTI Performance comes standard with unique visual and technical equipment, setting it apart from the regular GTI.
Extended performance features
On its exterior, the Golf GTI Performance differs from the standard GTI by its GTI logo on the front brake callipers.
The brake package for the GTI Performance has been upgraded along with the increased engine output (169kW), the
ventilated brakes discs are 28mm larger at 340mm, while the rear discs are now also ventilated and 10mm larger at 310mm
in diameter. Technical features of the Golf GTI Performance also include a newly developed front differential lock.

Front differential lock
An electronically controlled mechanical front differential lock is being used exclusively in the Golf GTI Performance.
To date, Volkswagen is the only car maker to utilise an electronically controlled differential lock in a front-wheel
drive production model. Compared to purely mechanical locks, the front differential lock integrated in the Golf GTI
Performance has a variable degree of locking and comprehensive interfaces to ESP, EDL and XDL functions.
Additional standard features
Adding a higher level of specification above the standard Golf GTI, the GTI Performance comes exclusively with a
six-speed DSG transmission, and is instantly recognisable with a range of luxury and convenience features as standard.
Bi-Xenon headlights, dark tinted LED tail lights, tinted glass and 19-inch “Santiago” alloy wheels give the GTI
Performance’s exterior a sporty look, while the GTI Performance’s interior receives sports seats featuring the newly
designed “Clark” tartan, with the addition of race-style Alcantara trim on the head restraint and side bolsters,
completing the nod to over 35 years of GTI history.
