The 184 PS TDI engine takes the Golf GTD Variant to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds with the 2-litre unit delivering a maximum torque of 380 Nm – and yet this sporty Variant car boasts of impressive fuel consumption figures of only 4.4 litres per 100 km.

The look is completed by 17-inch Curitiba alloys, black roof rails and dual chrome tailpipes. Also on-board the Golf GTD Variant are bi-xenon headlights, sports suspension with ride height lowered by 15 mm, and progressive steering, which gives a sharper response during high performance driving as well as ensuring greater comfort in ordinary conditions.
