Volkswagen Golf GTI EDITION 50 Hot Lap on the Nürburgring

Experience the Golf GTI EDITION 50 in its natural habitat — the Nürburgring. Professional Racing Driver Benny Leuchter walks you through a full hot lap of the Nordschleife, revealing what can help him to find grip, maintain flow, and push the GTI EDITION 50 to its limits. The Golf GTI EDITION 50 is the most powerful production GTI yet — an exclusive anniversary model delivering 239 kW (325 PS), 420 Nm of torque and a top speed of 270 km/h. It combines outstanding driving dynamics with numerous design highlights and celebrates 50 years of GTI performance. For those of you who want even more performance, the optional GTI Performance Package EDITION 50 raises driving dynamics to a new level: Performance chassis, 19-inch forged Warmenau wheels, Bridgestone Potenza Race semi-slick tires, and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system reduce weight and improve grip, precision, and responsiveness. Higher spring rates, a 5 mm lower ride height, optimised suspension mounts and increased camber setup on the front axle deliver sharper handling, faster response and enhance also stability and control. With a record lap time of 7:46:13 min on the 20.832 km Nürburgring Nordschleife, the GTI EDITION 50 stands as the fastest Volkswagen production model on this legendary track yet — proven by Benny Leuchter himself.
