Volkswagen 'Design Vision GTI' Concept Unveiled Officially

Like we told you that VW is planning to unveil the Volkswagen Design Vision GTI at the Worthersee event in the Austrian City of Reifnitz, the future race car is finally here in front of us. And there better word than beautiful to explain the design of the vehicle, power it gets in heredity. The MK7 Golf GTI- based concept is capable of churning out 503bhp and 560Nm torque deriving its power from a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. And what excites more is the fact that it sprints 0-100kmph in an impressive 3.9 seconds.

The design team, led by Klaus Bischoff (Head of Design of Volkswagen Brand), has drawn the C-pillars and sills outward as autonomous body elements, thus creating space for substantially wider front and rear tracks, as well as specially developed 20-inch wheels (with 235 tires in the front and 275s at the rear). The "Design Vision GTI" can reach a top speed of 300kmph and looks as if it could start racing tomorrow. All this power and torque is distributed to the wheels via a DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. With this powertrain and a specially tuned chassis, the "Design Vision GTI" eats any type of racetrack.

Speaking on the design of the car Klaus Bischoff says, "Our claim to be a global player is enhanced with our universal design language. A design that immediately communicates the brand's identity is central for all models that carry the VW logo, with elements that allow each model to be recognized as a true Volkswagen by its distinctive design."
