Golf GTi Adidas :

This week's VW Group fest at Wörthersee saw the world premiere of the special edition Golf GTI Adidas, which will first launch in Europe at the beginning of June and shortly thereafter in Australia and the USA in both three- and five-door versions.

So what's the deal with the sports-apparel maker? Well, according to VW, the car brings together three of the world's most renowned German badges - Volkswagen, GTI and Adidas- to form a combined product. Don't you just love marketers?

While there are no mechanical upgrades with the car keeping the same 210HP 2.0-liter turbo engine, the Golf GTI Adidas gets some unique styling cues inside and out.

These include the new 18-inch machine polished alloy wheels, special logos on the B-pillars, standard bi-xenon headlights with cornering lights and smoked LED rear lights.

Inside, the car gets new black-red sport seats designed in cooperation with Adidas, color-contrasting door tread plates, special interior accents in aluminium, fabric floor mats with decorative borders and in versions equipped with the 6-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG), a gearshift grip in the golf ball design of the first generation GTI.

Buyers will be able to choose from four exterior paints including "Candy White", "Black Uni", "Tornado Red" and the metallic "Oryx White".

Golf GTi Excessive Study :

Volkswagen is testing the waters with its new Golf GTI Excessive study that was revealed today at this year's edition of the annual GTI-Meet at Wörthersee.

Making its debut alongside the limited production Golf GTI Adidas special, the GTI Excessive features a series of motorsport-inspired add-on parts that the German firm says could make it into the catalogue of Volkswagen Original Accessories if there's enough interest from the public.

Finished in the same fire-red "Firespark Metallic" as last year's Golf GTI Wörthersee 09, the GTI Excessive gets a new bodykit trimmed in high-gloss black piano paint. The add-on parts include a front splitter beneath the front apron, side sills and rear diffuser and splitter, and flared wheel wells that add 30mm per side.

There's also a new rear spoiler painted in body colour that integrates a very narrow strip of LED brake lights along its full width, while the roof was upgraded with black piano paint.

The widened wheel arches house new 19-inch BBS lightweight rims finished in a black shade fitted in tires size 235/35 ZR19. Volkswagen also equipped the show car with new brake callipers featuring the "GTI / Wörthersee 2010" logos.

Interior upgrades include decorative brushed aluminium trim and glossy black painted frames for the vent nozzles, framed floor mats in red piping. and the modified sport comfort seats with integrated head restraints that feature black Nappa for the outer areas and flash-red Nappa for the lateral seat supports.

In terms of performance, the only upgrade includes a new exhaust system that adds an extra 4-horsepower bumping output to 214HP and 286Nm.
