Golf GTi launch Volkswagen's fantastic new Golf GTi was launched to dealers on a whirlwind nationwide tour in mid December 2004.
The launch covered the entire Country at racing tracks up & down the country in just 10 days. Amanda was part of the team visiting many current and historic motor racing / airfield venues starting at Knockhill (Fife, Scotland) and moving down to Elvington (Yorkshire), Oulton Park (Cheshire), Donington (Derbyshire), Castle Combe (Wiltshire) and finally Goodwood (Sussex).
The delegates were wowed at the performance & handling of the car that had just received rave reviews in the motoring press. They were shown the car's ability through a series of courses designed to demonstrate superb levels of power from the 2.0 litre turbo engine developing 280nm of torque and the excellent refined stability systems that allow total involvement in the car whilst retaining full control.
More than a few comments were made about the raughty exhaust note and coupled with the crackling of the engine whilst the E.S.P. traction control was in action together with a sample of the racing developed D.S.G. sequential gear box, many were forgiven for getting a little carried away around the tracks!
It was generally perceived that the car is a hark back to the much loved original Mark I GTi and a perfect Christmas gift from the German manufacturer. |
