Volkswagen has unveiled its Golf GTI Black Dynamic at Austria’s legendary GTI Treffen in Reifnitz.
Based on a three-door Golf GTI, the Black Dynamic is a project which has been designed and developed by nine Volkswagen apprentices over a seven month period and clearly reflects the team’s tastes, whose ages range from 18 to 23 years. Sitting on lowered suspension, the Golf wears a Deep Black Metallic exterior finish combined with a matte anthracite film trim on the hood and roof, with a hexagonal pattern which continues along the sides. Inside, the sports seats have been trimmed in a mixture of black and red Alcantara and leather, with red piping used on the door panels, while the boot is dominated by a 1,800 watt sound system, which lurks beneath a plexiglas sheet and drives and drive nine loudspeakers.
An optimised engine management system and new exhaust helps to release a further 110 kW (148 hp) from the 2.0-litre TSI unit, taking output to 265 kW (355 hp). An uprated braking system featuring colossal eight-piston calipers was also added.
“The amount that we have learned is incredible, and we have developed our own ideas and implemented them in ‘our’ car. Where else do you get an opportunity like that?” said 22-year-old apprentice Martin Schmidt
