Wörthersee '10 - Volkswagen Golf GTI Adidas and Excessive

Golf GTI Adidas And Excessive Unveiled At Wörthersee

Volkswagen AG unveiled two of their new special variants, the Volkswagen Golf GTi Adidas and the Volkswagen Golf GTi Excessive at the annual GTI Meet-up event in Wörthersee, Austria. The Golf GTI Adidas version : starting in June, three of the world's most recognised German badges – Volkswagen, GTI and Adidas – will for the first time meld into a combined product as the Golf GTI Adidas. The essential fact is that the GTI's technology and styling - and its interior customised in the style of the adidas brand - all produce a real dynamic mix.

Like each of these icons, the new Golf GTI Adidas will also launch with wide-ranging customised exterior and interior features. They include newly designed 18-inch "Serron" alloy wheels and a specially developed sport seat design. As on the Golf R, bi-xenon headlights and LED rear lights are aboard as standard equipment. The engine remains standard with the 210hp 2-liter turbocharged engine. According to them, the Golf GTI Adidas is likely to attain collector's status very quickly. It will be on the European market starting June and later Australia and the USA both in 3 and 5-doors versions. The exterior paint will be available in 4-different colors including Candy White, Black Uni, Tornado Red and the metallic Onyx White. The EXCESSIVE model and more after the JUMP!

  The Golf GTI Excessive : Every year at the GTI-Meet at Wörthersee, Austria, Volkswagen AG surprises fans with breathtaking concept cars. In 2007, it was the GTI W12-650, in 2008 the Golf Estate RaVe 270 and in 2009 the Golf GTI Wörthersee 09. In 2010, Volkswagen is presenting the Golf GTI Excessive in Reifnitz. This concept car illustrates the great design potential of the Golf GTI.

Key components here are the add-on parts styled in high-gloss black piano paint. The focus here is on extreme precision in the definition of shapes, radii and straight lines, as though cut with a razor blade. The add-on parts themselves are slender and light on the one hand, yet noticeably stable as well; they appear as though carved from a single block. Add-ons around the front spoiler, side sills and rear diffuser (which lights fire-red when braking!) are visually styled as so-called splitters; they are aerodynamically optimised air diverting elements that originate from motorsports. Never before have splitters been transferred to a production model with such high-end precision as on the Golf GTI Excessive.

In terms of performance, the only upgrade includes a new exhaust system that adds an extra 4hp bumping output to 214HP and 286Nm. The Excessive also gets a new rear spoiler alongside with a piano black painted roof and a new LED rear brake lights. The widened wheel arches house a new 19" BBS Lightweight rims finished in black shade fitted in 235/35 ZR19 together with a new brake caliper which featured the GTI / Wörthersee 2010 logos.
