Before rushing into technical details, you should probably know that some upgrades are sourced from the Volkswagen and Audi tuner APR which emphasize the high performance the resulting model is capable of producing.
According to autoblog.com, power comes from a 2.0-liter liter 4-cylinder turbo FSI petrol engine that brings a maximum output of 246 bhp (183 kW) and a top torque of 382 Nm. Complying with Euro 4 emission ratings and mated to a 6-speed DSG system, the engine helps the car sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 seconds, with maximum speed rated at 261 km/h (162.2 mph).
In addition, the car underwent several performance upgrades, as followed: Volkswagen Performance Stage 1 ECU Tuning to 246hp, Volkswagen Performance R32 front and rear brake discs and calipers, Volkswagen Performance Exhaust, Volkswagen Performance Body Kit and Volkswagen "Pirelli" 18 inch alloy rims with 225/40 tyres "P Zero".
In terms of equipment levels, the VW Golf GTI V50 is absolutely outstanding, with "Climatronic" air conditioning, aluminum and leather gearshift handle, Pirelly 18-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights and electric tilt sunroof offered as standard. Other highlights include heat-insulating blue tinted glass, metallic paint, multi-function display, automatically dimming interior mirror, sport suspension and automatic low beam mode with "Follow me home" function.
Safety is enhanced with the help of 3-point seatbelts for all occupants, ESP, ABS, ASR, EDL, airbags all around, ISOFIX and extended pedestrian protection measures.
