VW GTI Reifnitz with 370HP



This is the VW Golf GTI Reifnitz from Volkswagen Coaching GmbH, a training division of VW, which the German automaker has debuted at the GTI-Wörthersee event in Austria.

With this model, the celebration of 35 years of the Golf GTI continues, although this model is for show only.


This Mk6 GTI variant comes with an aero kit and a new paint design along with a serious engine upgrade.

Output on this GTI Reifnitz totals 370 PS (272 kW / 365 bhp) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque, achieved by means of an APR Stage III turbocharger system along with an APR RSC performance exhaust which helped up-tune the 2.0 liter TFSI unit to almost double its standard power rating.


But even if you can't buy this GTI Reifnitz, Alabama-based tuner APR will be happy to sell you the turbocharger and exhaust systems that went into it.
