The significance of Volkswagen GTI

Speaking of GTI, we have to mention the origin of these three legendary letter combinations. GTI is a household name in Europe. According to the survey, 93.2% people are familiar with this name. Some people even know more about GTI than Volkswagen's V W logo.

GTI's GT comes from Gran Turismo (Italian), which means: the manufacturing level is comparable to that of racing cars.

In the early 1970s, high performance and reliability of automobiles seemed to be two things that could not have both. At that time, sports cars often lost their mechanical stability and durability while pursuing high performance. So driving such a sports car for a long time is likely to be a bad memory.

At that time, engineers in the automobile industry were determined to change this situation, so a GT model with excellent performance and high reliability was born. So some people call GT a super sports car.

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.

No matter how the automobile world develops, GTI will always be a legend that brings us simple and pure driving pleasure. No matter how the face of GTI evolves, what remains unchanged is the meaning represented by the three letters of GTI: let more people enjoy the ultimate driving pleasure every day.
