2003 Volkswagen Golf Gti 20th Anniversary Hatchback 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Like Mazda, Volkswagen used Chicago to unveil a special-edition model, the GTI 20th Anniversary Edition. Introduced in 1983 as the Rabbit GTI, VW's latest pocket-rocket pays homage to the original with numerous styling cues, including a polished-metal Rabbit logo with "GTI" red badge on rear hatch. Additional performance accents include black-surround headlights; a larger-diameter, single polished exhaust; darkened taillamps; side mirrors housed in black; and body-color bumper, chin spoiler, side valances, lowered rear bumper, and fixed rear spoiler above the hatch. A lowered sport suspension, 18-inch Z-rated summer performance tires, and larger, vented four-wheel disc brakes help the new GTI tackle the curves. Power comes from VW's ubiquitous 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine--good for 180 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque--which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The 20th Anniversary GTI's cockpit is a driver's paradise, with black-and-gray sport-cloth Recaro front seats wearing red "GTI" embroidery, black headliner, striped safety belts, the signature "golf ball" shift knob with red "GTI" logo, and a brushed-aluminum plaque that indicates the exact production number for the model, anywhere from 1 to 4000. This is number 3151. This special GTI comes to showrooms this spring (dated February 2003), priced at $23,225.
ADULT DRIVER. I purchased this GTI from Cherry Hill Volkswagen at 79,900 miles, February of 2009. I use it mainly for daily work commute (8 miles total) and some weekend getaways. I'm proud to say it's never been smoked in, and rarely eaten in. This car is an absolute BLAST to drive! Begrudgingly we need to part ways for something more family friendly. Clean title and CarFax. Standard Features: 1.8 liter turbo 4-cyclinder engine (180 hp, 173 lbs. ft. torque); 6-Spd manual transmission; power glass sunroof; ABS (4-Wheel); power windows and locks with remote keyless entry (2 remotes included); anti-theft alarm system; dual front air bags with side curtain protection airbag system; CFC-free air conditioning; power steering; tilt wheel; cruise control; rear-window electric defroster; rear-window wiper and washer The 2003 VW GTI 20th Anniversary Editions were limited to a 4,000-unit production run, of which only 2,000 are Black Magic Pearl.

The styling cues include red "GTI" badges and classic, polished-metal Rabbit logo, black surround on the headlights, and body colored chin spoiler, side valances, lower rear bumper valence, and hatch spoiler. The rear is accented with a larger-diameter, single polished exhaust and darkened taillamps. The interior features black and gray sport-cloth seating and a black headliner.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES
Tue, Jan 12 2016Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
