FROM HOT HATCH TO COOL CRUISER IN 9.5
SECONDS.
Introducing the first GTI Cabriolet ever.
It was only a matter of time until the
hottest car on the road needed some
air, and the Golf GTI Cabriolet has
arrived to give the iconic hot hatch a
new level of freedom.
It’s all the legendary power you’ve
come to expect, now with a soft top.
Featuring a top speed of 235km/h,
and 0 – 100km in just 7.3 seconds, it’s
pure GTI performance at its best.
The Golf GTI.
Now available as a Cabriolet.

A JET STREAM OF FRESH AIR.
Look at the sleek sweep of that
waistline: classic GTI. But the
Cabriolet sports its own side-sill
extensions and a new rear diffuser.
The windscreen is also more raked.
Magnificent.
And as beautiful with the top up as it
is down. Machine-polished wheels
make your GTI Cabriolet that much
more different. As though it needs it.
At the business end is the classic GTI
honeycomb radiator with red pinstripes
and vertically-arranged fog lights.
Assertive.
At the rear, twin-chrome tailpipes left
and right, dark red LED rear lights,
and LED number plate illumination.
A precedent that others can only follow.

OPEN UP AND SAY “AAH”.
Inside it’s understated, but the traditional
red stitching tells you you’re driving
something special. There’s heritage in
the brushed-steel pedals and polished
gear shift. The decorative inlays of
your doors and instrument panel feature
black-on-black high gloss accents.
Now close the electrohydraulic roof.
11 seconds. It’s one of the quietest, most
spacious cabriolet interiors.
Enjoy the RCD 310 radio-CD to the full.
And you still have 250 litres of fully
usable boot space. Pack your bags.
What you need is scenery as beautiful
as your car.

PRIME NUMBERS.
0 to 100 in 7.3 seconds, and a top
speed of 235km/h. Soft-top or not,
this is pure GTI. We’re talking torque
of 280Nm straight through from 1700
to 5200rpm. The 2-litre turbo engine
takes power to the front wheels through
a 6-speed DSG gearbox that preselects
the next gear while you’re driving.
As surprising as the GTI Cabriolet, is its
fuel consumption: 7.7 litres per 100km,
with CO2 emissions of just 180g/km.

SAFETY FIRST.
The GTI Cabriolet is fast. In everything. The
roll-over bar deploys in fractions of a second.
Airbags for front, side, head, thorax and
the driver’s knees wrap you securely. The
reinforced windscreen surround and extensive
structural modifications to under body, sides
and bulkheads create a robust safety cage.
The GTI is also perceptive. Its Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system incorporates
two extra technologies. Electronic Differential
Locks (EDL) get the power to the wheels smoothly,
but it’s the Transverse Differential Lock (XDS)
that keeps them nailed to the road. Optimal
stability, even at full acceleration out of bends.

IT’S A GTI.
The legendary performance and style of the
iconic GTI breeds a particularly special car in
the first GTI Cabriolet; beautifully assertive
design that embodies power and freedom.
