GTI's "I" is taken from the English meaning of Injection. The first golf GTI was equipped with a 1 10 horsepower engine and a Bosch K-Jetronic gasoline injection system. It is this gasoline injection device that distinguishes this golf from other carburetor models of Volkswagen, so sports golf has become the earliest vehicle equipped with gasoline injection engine, so people call this golf GTI. GTI has surpassed its peers in safety aspects such as acceleration, handling and spontaneous combustion.
Performance characteristics of golf GTI

Especially the 6-speed DSG &；; Reg with dual clutch automatic transmission, the top speed can reach 235km/h, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is only 7.1s; ; The shift paddles on the steering wheel can also be switched to the real manual mode at any time, giving the Golf GTI a sense of driving and control comparable to that of a racing car.
