Volkswagen has published official images of the most powerful Golf in history — cars called Golf GTI Clubsport 24h.

At the same time, they will present the «civil» version of the car, it will be called simply GTI Clubsport and will not receive such a developed body kit as the Clubsport 24h.
The Golf GTI Clubsport has more differences from the regular Volkswagen Golf MK8.5 than it might seem at first glance. So, it has a new front end and even different headlights. At the rear there is a large spoiler on the roof, and the rear bumper is similar to that of the Golf R, but with single exhaust pipes. The Golf GTI Clubsport is equipped with 19-inch wheels, and for an additional fee Warmenau forged wheels weighing 7.65 kg each are available.
Golf GTI Clubsport will receive an electronically controlled front differential lock and adaptive suspension (at extra cost). What is the engine power of the Golf GTI Clubsport — unknown, but the car is clearly aimed at competing with the 315-horsepower Honda Civic Type R.
