Volkswagen is readying a new generation of its Golf GTI Clubsport performance model, and the covers will come off on May 31.
The debut will take place on the sidelines of the 2024 24 Hours of Nürburgring that kicks off the next day and where a modified version built for racing, known as the Golf GTI Clubsport 24h, will compete.was launched for 2021 to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first GTI's arrival in 1976.
VW said the Clubsport will also have a special drive mode developed for carving up the Nürburgring. It controls things such as the suspension and steering and has been tuned specifically for handling the undulations and curves of the German racetrack, the automaker said. VW hasn't mentioned anything about the powertrain, but the last GTI Clubsport delivered 296 hp from the GTI's 2.0-liter turbo-4, all sent to the front wheels. The updated 2025 GTI has been announced with 262 hp in other markets, and it's possible the new Clubsport version will have even more power than its predecessor.
The GTI Clubsport 24h race car features a 343-hp setting for the engine. However, this is helped by a new E20 fuel being developed by Shell with 20% ethanol content, which the race car, to be fielded by Max Kruse Racing, will use during the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
