The tradition of 2008 Volkswagen GTI performance, power and handling in the corners continues as it has since GTI's inception in 1971. 2008 Volkswagen GTI performance is guaranteed with a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and is available in two models - the GTI and the GTI VR6 for takeoffs on shorter runways. We recommend visiting our site repeatedly to view the regular updates to our 2008 Volkswagen GTI performance body kit report. We will put new information and new Volkswagen GTI pictures up on a monthly basis.

Powering the two models of 2008 Volkswagen GTI are a pair of high output engines. A 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, inline V-5 engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 174 pounds-per-foot of torque powers the basic GTI model. A 2.8-liter, 6-cylinder, V- 6 engine that delivers 200 horsepower and 195 pounds-per-foot of torque is in the GTI VR6 as standard. In order to harness all that power and safely maneuver these vehicles, they are both equipped with the following features:

• power-assisted front vented disc brakes



• front and rear gas shock absorbers



• sport suspension



• five-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch



• power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering

Both models feature Electronic Stabilization Program with brake assist, Anti-Slip Regulation, and Electronic Differential Lock.

The 2008 Volkswagen GTI has always been one of the sharpest looking VWs in their stable. Driver and passenger side heated power windows, center high-mounted rear stop lamp, dual-tone horn, daytime running lights, and a roof-mounted amplified flexible black-whip antenna are a few of the exterior features on this rocket sled. A 80-watt audio system, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, front-center armrest, cruise control, electric rear window defroster, brake wear indicator, multi- function trip computer, automatic locking system, stainless steel pedals, tie-down trunk hooks, and CFC-free air conditioning are included in the interior features on the new and improved 2008 Volkwagen GTI.

he 2008 Volkwagen GTI is forever committed to safety and nothing demonstrates this more than the list of safety features that comes standard with every GTI:

• child seat tether anchorage points



• increased head airbag padding



• side curtain protection



• front impact crush zones



• automatic tensioning retractors for front and rear passenger safety belts



• side-door intrusion beams



• theft-deterrent steering column



• remote keyless entry
