http://Carwp.blogspot.com.br (from Volkswagen Press Release) It was in 1982 when the first Golf GTD entered the market. It became an icon of all sporty diesels. This was due to the almost unique ability of this long-distance Golf car of the Golf model range to combine the performance of a sports car with the fuel economy of a small car. Now, for the first time since the original Golf GTD, Volkswagen is launching the sportiest of all compact diesels as an Variant car. The agile diesel Variant is powered by a 135-kW / 184-PS 2.0-litre TDI engine. Combined fuel consumption with a 6-speed manual gearbox: 4.4 l/100 km (equating to 115 g/km CO2). Optionally, Volkswagen offers the Golf GTD Variant with a dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). Here too, a low fuel consumption figure of just 4.8 l/100 km (CO2: 125 g/km) distinguishes this highly efficient Variant car. Low emissions are ensured by such technologies as a NOx storage catalytic converter; the Volkswagen Golf GTD Variant also fulfils the Euro-6 emissions standard as an Variant.

Dynamic driving performance and handling properties

The Volkswagen Golf GTD Variant has a stop/start system as standard, and in battery regeneration mode it exploits deceleration phases to charge the battery. The 2.0-litre common rail turbodiesel is distinguished by its already cited fuel economy and its extreme power. The engine - which is equipped with two balancer shafts - develops a constant maximum torque of 380 Nm from 1,750 rpm to 3,250 rpm. This focused charge of efficiency lets the new Golf GTD Variant accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds with either gearbox version. Its top speed of 231 km/h (DSG: 229 km/h) reveals it to be a sports car among diesel Variants. Further attributes of its special sporting status are standard features such as the XDS+ vehicle dynamics function, ESC Sport, progressive steering that is as direct as it is comfortable, sport suspension (15 mm lower) and 17-inch wheels ("Curitiba" design) with 225 size tyres.

XDS+

Technically, the XDS+ electronic differential lock is a functionality that is integrated in the electronic stability control system (ESC) for improved vehicle dynamics. XDS+ is an extension of XDS, which is familiar from the previous model; its functionality has now been extended to cover all unbraked driving states. The new system improves agility and reduces the steering angle the driver needs to input by means of targeted brake interventions at the wheels on the inside of the bend at both axles. In addition, XDS+ is effective over all conceivable road friction coefficients, resulting in more precise handling, even on snow.

ESC Sport

In the new VW Golf GTD Variant, Volkswagen is offering the "ESC Sport" function for very experienced drivers. The system is activated by a two-stage switch on the centre console. If the driver pushes the button once briefly, it deactivates the ASR function (traction control). When the button is pressed for longer than three seconds, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) switches to the "ESC Sport" mode. In very fast driving with lots of bends - such as on the race track - ESC responds later and thereby enables even more agile handling characteristics. As an alternative to activation via the pushbutton on the centre console, ESC can be activated or deactivated by CAR menu settings.

Progressive steering

Thanks to progressive steering, drivers of the Golf GTD Variant will not need to turn the steering wheel as much to turn through any desired radius. When driving through tight bends they will also not need to reach their hands over the wheel as often. With progressive steering, it takes 2.1 turns of the wheel to reach the end stop; with the standard steering system of less powerful Golf models it takes 2.75 turns. How it works: conventional steering systems operate with a constant gear ratio; the new steering system of the Volkswagen Golf GTD Variant, in contrast, operates with a progressive steering gear ratio. This perceptibly reduces steering work when manoeuvring and parking. On country roads with lots of bends, and when making turns, the driver experiences greater dynamics due to the more direct layout.

Powertrain technology

The TDI of the VW Golf GTD Variant is one of the four-cylinder diesel engines of the EA288 engine series. This efficient engine conforms to the limits of the Euro-6 emissions standard, even in the sporty Golf Variant. Key features of the GTD engine include variable valve timing (VVT), dual-loop exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), integration of the intercooler in the intake manifold, a common rail system that now operates with 2,000 bar instead of 1,800 bar and a turbocharger designed for the higher power levels.
