Volkswagen will be at the Nurburgring 24-hour race this year after that, the new Golf24 race car. It's a hot little number and we will see it to take to the track during the official race events, which extend from June 23 to 26.
Under the hood, Volkswagen 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five engine, even though output was pushed to 434 hp and 398 pound-feet of torque. This power is managed by a six-speed sequential gearbox and runs on the ground of permanent four-wheel drive. Combine that with a body that has been optimized to keep the car as flat as possible around corners, and what we have here, golf is a really fast that is willing to eat the competition.
The last time was a Volkswagen Golf in a race at the Nürburgring in 2007, when a 296-hp, front-wheel-drive as a whole placed eighth. Since then, the automaker's Scirocco GT24 for 'ring made mandatory, but since 2011 marks the 35th Anniversary of the infamous GTI hot hatch, it was decided that VW was a completely new Golf-based car in order.
