Volkswagen Golf, dessinée par Giorgetto Giugiaro en 1974, remporta immédiatement un succès. En 1976, Volkswagen lança durant l’année un concept de petite voiture sportive à hayon et traction avec un moteur à injection, contrairement aux moteurs à carburateur de l’époque, et ça se dit „Gran Turismo Injektion” en allemand avec de l’italien. Le bloc 1,6 l de 110 ch dans une caisse de 810 kg, permettait de réaliser des performances de haut niveau pour l’époque. La Golf GTI était née. 2015, Volkswagen prépare les célébrations du 40ème anniversaire de la Golf GTI. Et quoi de plus pratique que le festival dédié au GTI et à la marque Volkswagen, qui se déroule du 13 au 16 mai pour présenter des concepts de Golf GTI d’exception, en version performance, n’est-ce pas !? L’appel du lac d’Autriche situé dans la province de Carinthie, se fait entendre ! Willkommen in Wörthersee ! Willkommen auf dem Festival „Wörthersee-GTI 2015″ !

Wörthersee-GTI
Le plus grand rassemblement de Golf GTI en Europe, le festival Wörthersee GTi-Treffen, s’y tient chaque année en mai depuis 1981. Et la 34ème édition du festival Wörthersee-GTI, grand meeting officiel des marques du groupe Volkswagen se tient du 13 au 16 mai prochain en Autriche sur les rives de ceux fameux lac. C’est ainsi que Audi vient avec l’Audi TT clubsport turbo concept, et VW vient avec deux Golf GTI, la Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport de 265 ch, et la Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance „Der See ruft …” (en anglais, ‘The lake is calling …’, que l’on peut traduire en français par « L’appel du lac ». Voilà pourquoi je parle de lac depuis tout à l’heure ;)
GTI Performance „Der See ruft”
Sur la base d’une Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI Performance 3 portes, dénommée „Der See ruft …”, livrée bi-ton jaune et noir (coucou Peugeot 208 GTi ou aussi surtout la Volkswagen Golf R Touch, livrée bi-ton rouge et noir présentée au CES 2015), le team composé de 4 jeunes femmes et 9 jeunes hommes, âgés de 17 à 25 ans, en stage chez Volkswagen, ont bossé avec la volonté de présenté leur proposition lors de ce festival mettant à l’honneur les GTI du Groupe VW.
The project „Der See ruft”
Der See ruft …” (the lake is calling) is painted in yellow on the wing mirrors of the unique Golf GTI Performance. Samuel Pili (21), apprentice automotive mechatronics technician with Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, has contributed to it. Samuel is part of the « Wörthersee GTI 2015″ team headed by project manager Holger Schülke. The four young women and nine men are training in technical vocations with Volkswagen and group company Sitech Sitztechnik. The 17 to 25-year-olds were selected as team members on the basis of their outstanding performance. The official program was completed by a presentation to members of the Board of Management and the 13 young people can now continue with the voluntary part of their program by presenting their Golf GTI on Thursday, May 14 2015, at the Wörthersee meeting.
Projekt Woerthersee-GTI 2015 Die Idee
Taking a body in white, they developed and built a unique GTI in line with the taste of young people on the basis of their own ideas, demonstrating considerable creativity, skill and knowledge. The team members are training as vehicle interior fitters (4), vehicle paint technicians (2), automotive mechatronics technicians (4), media designers (1) and process technicians specializing in plastics and rubber engineering (2).
The budding specialists have covered up their car for shipment to Austria. They are now packing boxes with the care and cleaning materials required, information and presentation literature and spare parts, tools and cable drums for an external power supply (a high-power sound system in continuous operation is a must for the Wörthersee meeting).
The team is looking forward to presenting details of the optical and technical refinements of the suspension, engine, interior, seats and sound system at Lake Wörthersee. Project manager Holger Schülke and his young colleagues find the show car absolutely convincing: at the 34th Wörthersee GTI meeting (May 13 to 16, 2015), the apprentices’ dream GTI will make its debut before an audience of tens of thousands of car enthusiasts. Most of the attachments were hand-crafted and painted, including the complete body kit.
‘The apprentices opted for an innovative color scheme and realized it with considerable skill and precision – both on the exterior and in the interior of the vehicle. In the case of attachments like sills and spoilers, absolute precision and fully matching colors are essential. Everything must harmonize with the body. Our budding specialists solved all these problems highly effectively – by working very accurately.’ - Holger Schülke, project manager, Wörthersee GTI 2015 team, Volkswagen

The apprentices performed work like this themselves. They also inspected the components in stock, held discussions with experts within the company in fields such as design, plastic parts production and special painting and talked to specialist suppliers. In addition to conceptual design and work on the car, co-operation with other company departments is a key feature of this special vehicle project of Volkswagen’s vocational training at the Wolfsburg plant.
Golf GTI Clubsport
Audi vient avec son modèle sûrement le plus célèbre, l’Audi TT en version clubsport turbo concept et Volkswagen vient avec son modèle „Das Auto” sûrement le plus célèbre, la Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport proposant une puissance de 265 PS (Pferdestärke pour le cheval-vapeur allemand, équivalent au ch. du cheval-vapeur) soit 265 ch. ou 35 ch de plus que la Golf GTI Performance (de base)
Next year, the Golf GTI celebrates its 40th birthday. Volkswagen is marking this historic event with a progressive anniversary model: the new Golf GTI Clubsport. Volkswagen will be showcasing the Golf GTI Clubsport on 14th May as part of the legendary GTI meet at Lake Wörthersee, when it will make its world premiere in the form of a near-production concept car.
Le moteur de la Golf GTI
Sous le capot de la Golf GTI Performance, servant de base à ses deux show-cars est le bloc 2.0 TSI 230, 4 cylindres en ligne avec turbo, d’une cylindrées de 1984 cm3. La puissance est de 230 ch de 4700 à 6200 tr/min, et le couple est de 350 Nm de 1500 à 4600 tr/min.
With a power output of 195 kW / 265 PS (35 PS more than the Golf GTI Performance) and top performance temporarily increased by around a further 10 per cent thanks to a boost function, the Golf GTI Clubsport is set to take off at the start of 2016 as the most powerful production ‘GTI’ yet. The anniversary model is being launched not only with an extremely powerful engine, but also with an individualised interior and exclusive bodywork details.
Volkswagen 2.0 TSI
2.0-litre turbocharged direct injection engine. The turbocharged engine of the GTI is from the third generation of the EA888 engine series and has a completely newly developed cylinder head.
Le design de la Golf GTI Clubsport

The design modifications include a completely new front bumper, new side sills, a new and aerodynamically highly innovative roof-edge spoiler and a specially developed rear diffuser. All of these features were designed with the aim of further enhancing the GTI’s performance and of thereby bringing form and function into perfect harmony. The interplay of the very high power output thanks to the boost function and significantly improved levels of downforce move the Golf GTI Clubsport into the realms of motorsport driving dynamics. Consequently, handling remains extremely stable even at very high speeds. Breath-taking cornering speeds are also possible. The new Golf GTI Clubsport thus makes a great case for itself as unadulterated sports car.
