Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition: Possible concept in process. The seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf continues to be talking about. After a couple of months speculating about their appearance, engines and features, now that it has been presented, starting time evolutions. One of the most interesting is this possible concept Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition, which try, through a drastic weight reduction for greater speed, responsiveness and sportier performance. A line, seeing where the shots are going in the supercar segment, may be the most appropriate.

It is curious, however, that, just a week after his presentation and without being given their decision public contact in the Paris Motor Show 2012, is already talking about what might be in the future, rather than now further exploit the Volkswagen Golf VII. However, as news of a compact made with carbon fiber could not be overlooked in the motoring world.

Less weight
that is the ultimate goal, the achievement you want to achieve with this carbon fiber manufacture of structural elements, a development already in supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador and the Mazda MX-5 GT, which dominates the material. With this type of construction the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition could achieve a reduction of up to 200 kilograms, down with clear implications for their behavior in terms of speed, versatility and use of engine power.

With these figures, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition could achieve spectacular increases in their numbers of acceleration (from 0 to 100 km / h in under six seconds) and top speed compared to Golf GTI we already know. All with the same 2.0 liter engine powered 225 hp on incorporating the sportier version of the Volkswagen Golf range. Thus, would have a material advantage are compared to Audi RS3 Sportback for example, one car with over 300 horsepower, but with a more typical weight of a sedan than a compact.

A clear line of evolution
With this proposal, Volkswagen is positioned in the usual trade-off between an increase in engine power or a reduction of vehicle weight to achieve the highest possible sporting behavior. While manufacturers like Bugatti bid to achieve the most potent engine, a huge number of CV unusable except in very particular conditions, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition prefer releasing ballast to bring these sporty performance to any user who is do with the vehicle, without having to deal with a closed circuit.

Which of the two lines is correct? It seems clear that if we speak of vehicles for private use on public roads, the second option is the more interesting and that's what you want to accomplish with this Volkswagen concept car that seems to have begun development work.
