Onboard the Volkswagen Golf GTI EDITION 50 | Record Full Nürburgring Nordschleife Lap in 07:46:13

Experience an exclusive onboard perspective of the Volkswagen Golf GTI EDITION 50 as it sets a new Nordschleife record for the fastest Volkswagen production model with a time of 07:46:13 (07:41:27)! Driven by racing driver Benny Leuchter, this near-production model pushed its limits on the legendary Nürburgring—under challenging weather conditions—during a single, valiant attempt. Join us for the full lap ride along and witness firsthand what makes the Golf GTI EDITION 50 a true track tool. The Golf GTI EDITION 50 will debut on June 20, 2025, at the Nürburgring 24-hour race. Get ready for a new era of hot hatch performance! Important to note: For earlier communicated lap times of other models, the timed lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife started flying in front of grandstand T13. The start and finish for the measurement were at the beginning and end of the grandstand, respectively; the approximately 200 meters in between were not counted. The official lap time of 07:46:13 for the Golf GTI EDITION 50 includes this distance. For better comparison, this video includes the official record lap time and the time for the formerly used distance. The Golf GTI EDITION 50 will be optionally available with a Performance package, which includes a performance chassis and particularly lightweight 19-inch semi-slick Potenza Race tyres from Bridgestone, which have been specially developed for the car. The tyres are mounted on likewise very lightweight forged wheels, which noticeably reduces the unsprung and rotating masses. #Volkswagen #VW #GTI50 #GolfGTIEdition50 #Nürburgring #24hNBR ___ * Golf GTI EDITION 50 – near-series concept vehicle.
