Real Racing GTI Player Wins a VW Golf VI GTI

Getting and using the Real Racing GTI iPhone application paid off big time for an Ohio resident, as he was the first to win one of the six, limited-edition Golf VI GTI vehicles. Volkswagen of America was the first auto manufacturer to use the App Store in order for launching a new vehicle.

The app debuted two weeks ago and enjoyed great success, as it has registered more than 2 million downloads to date.

"Consumer response to Real Racing GTI has been phenomenal, and thanks to fans like Joseph Chase, the game is still one of the top free apps on iTunes,"
said Tim Ellis, Vice President of Marketing, Volkswagen of America. "More than 2 million consumers have already downloaded the free app, and we are thrilled they have reacted to it with such enthusiasm and in such a short time frame."

Continuing over each of the next five weeks, one player will be chosen to win the ultimate racing prize: the exclusive Golf GTI VI, an individually-numbered, specially-tuned version of the hatchback.

Each prize model includes the GTI's 2.0-liter TSI 200 hp four-cylinder engine, a performance tuned suspension finished with black, Volkswagen motorsport 18-inch all-new wheels, and special interior touches, including carbon fiber-look trim, a numbered dash plaque, and unique stitching in the front headrests.

"I downloaded the Real Racing GTI App the minute I first heard about it and I haven't stopped playing since - it's just such a fun game,"
said Joseph Chase of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, the winner. "But now I can't wait to hit the real streets in my new GTI!"
