VW Singapore Launches Special Edition Golf GTI V50 with 246HP

VW Singapore Launches Special Edition Golf GTI V50 with 246HP

While the rest of the world is getting ready to welcome the sixth-generation Golf GTI, in Singapore, Volkswagen has just released a souped-up, limited edition version of the outgoing model that has gained some grunt. Performance upgrades on the Golf GTI V50 (Mark V) include a 'Stage 1' ECU tuning and a new sport exhaust system that add 46 more horsepower and an extra 102Nm of torque for a total output of 246HP and 382Nm of peak torque.

Equipped with a 6-speed DSG, the fifth-generation GTI V50 goes from zero to 100km/h (62 mph) in just 5.6 seconds versus the standard GTI's 6.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 261 km/h or 162mph (basic GTI: 233 km/h or 145mph).

Additional upgrades include the larger brake discs and callipers derived from the Golf R32, the 18-inch alloy wheels shod in 225/40 R18 Pirelli P-Zero tires and a new bodykit complemented by a two-tone black and white paint job which we could have done without.

The good news for GTI fans is that the limited edition Golf GTI V50 comes with a full factory warranty. The bad news is that it will be available only in Singapore.
