Volkswagen Golf GTI “Clubsport 45” with special profile

Even after the development of the Golf GTI Clubsport S, Leuchter has always been to development drives at the Nürburgring. At the wheel of the Golf GTI Clubsport, Golf GTI “Clubsport 45”, and Golf R, he completed around 250 to 300 test laps, i.e. around 6500 kilometers. Like its performance siblings, the Golf GTI “Clubsport 45” is also equipped with the “Special” driving profile developed at the Nürburgring: “I played a major role in its development: dampers and transmissions were adapted. The chassis is made softer so that you have more grip on the bumps. The throttle response is sportier, the feedback from the engine more direct. You're pushing a little more mechanical limits. That's perfect for the Nordschleife, the world's most wavy motorway, ”says Leuchter. “I drive my car in Nürburgring mode a lot, even on country roads. The special driving profile fits perfectly into everyday life. "
