Overview
- The Golf GTI Edition 50 is presented as the most powerful production GTI at 239 kW (325 PS) with a 270 km/h top speed, and it is already open for orders with first deliveries in 2026.
- Volkswagen resurfaced the dramatic 2014 Gran Turismo–origin Roadster as a one‑off display car in Dark Moss Green Metallic, featuring no roof, upward‑opening doors and reinterpreted roll‑bar C‑pillars.
- Reported figures for the Roadster cite a 3.0‑liter twin‑turbo V6 with about 503 hp (370 kW), all‑wheel drive and a claimed 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds with a 309 km/h top speed.
- Media disagree on the Roadster’s torque output, with outlets publishing 560 Nm or 665 Nm, highlighting inconsistent specifications for the non‑series concept.
- A test drive report from Circuit Castellolí describes the car as a singular, collection‑bound prototype with 7‑speed DSG and AWD, as Volkswagen also signals the GTI’s electric direction with the ID. Polo GTI at 166 kW (226 PS).
