(OPENPRESS) October 16, 2010 -- Three of the world's most renowned German badges - Volkswagen, GTI and adidas - will for the first time meld to form a combined product: the Golf GTI adidas. Volkswagen is presenting the most exclusive Golf GTI of the current generation in an Australian premiere at this year's Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. The Golf GTI adidas follows in the mould of the Golf GTI Pirelli.
The new Golf GTI adidas can be recognised by a special alloy wheel design. In this case, it is the 18-inch "Serron" wheel, named after a Finnish race course. The wheel exhibits five machine-polished U-shaped dual spokes; the areas between the spokes are painted in high-sheen black.
In addition, the Golf GTI adidas is identified on its exterior by standard bi-xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and dark tinted tail light clusters with LED technology. Special adidas badges on the B-pillars also identify this car as a special model.
Inside, the black-red sport seat system was customised in the joint venture with adidas. Its inner seat panels consist of fabric in GTI-adidas design and sport the matching logo as well; lateral seat supports are upholstered in Vienna leather; interior designers executed the double cap seam of the head restraints in "Flash Red".
On the backs of the front seats, which are heated and height adjustable, there are storage pockets for stowing smaller items and magazines, while the folding backrest of the rear seats is equipped with a combined centre armrest and pass-through to the boot space.
Colour-contrasting decorative door inlays (front), special interior accents in aluminium, fabric floor mats with decorative borders and a gearshift grip in the golf ball design of the first generation GTI, complete the customised features of the GTI adidas. The GTI adidas offers standard features such as a RCD 510 audio system, Media Device Interface (MDI) and standard Bluetooth Phone Connectivity.
In the selection of exterior paints offered on this exclusive model, Volkswagen returns to the roots of GTI history: white and red. Customers can choose from the GTI-specific hues "Candy White" and "Tornado Red".
Like all Golf GTIs, the Golf GTI adidas also offers the sport chassis − highly praised by many independent reviewers − which delivers extremely impressive performance with an electronic transverse differential lock (XDL) and GTI-specific ESP tuning. The Golf GTI adidas comes with a 155kW turbo engine and yet consumes only 7.6 litres per 100 kilometres. It is a GTI that outputs audible dynamics through its dual tail pipe exhaust system (one tailpipe each, left and right). It is a GTI that transfers the tradition of the original version to the future.
