| VW Golf GTE Sport 2015 |
VW Golf GTE Sport 2015 with 400 hp and 280 km/h top speed, a plug-in hybrid racer from Carbon. The study VW Golf GTE Sport (presented at the GTI Meet at Wörthersee) based on the current Golf, but is radically to driving pleasure and is powered by three engines.
The body of the Volkswagen GTE Sport consists largely of carbon to save weight. The tail is extremely wide; the front with a wide cross bar, huge air intakes and dual spoiler is also beefy and clearly stands out from the conventional Golf Design.
But highlight the concept car is the side sections: The two doors of the athlete, which continue until the carbon fiber roof, swing upward. The rear part of the rocker is designed as a splitter.

VW Golf GTE Sport 2015 presents as two-seat racer with separate areas for driver and front passenger. Racing seats with five-point harnesses and a clothed in Carbon steering column remind motorsports, knobs and buttons are within reach in the high center console and the roof lining. The instruments appear like in a spaceship: Three transparent displays are arranged in succession. The front and smallest display shows the gear, behind it are the information about performance and Boost. The largest display brings information on speed, range or driven race laps. After all, the engineers at VW see the GTE as a road-going racer. For the first time the Golf has three motors.

chassis and body are set to fast cornering hunts. A 1.6-liter gasoline engine from the Polo R WRC with 299 hp and two electric motors, each with 115 hp yield a system output of 400 hp. In normal operation, the study drives like a golf GTE-electric, in hybrid mode Nitro and electric motors are used depending on the load. The driver activates the GTE-mode with a lever, the electric motors take over the boost function. Internal 4.3 seconds accelerates the GTE Sport from 0 to 100 km/h. In GTE mode the Golf is driven by all four wheels, with 15.9 seconds, he breaks the 200-km/h mark.
