Golf GTE Sport Plug-in Hybrid Concept
The 1.6 liter TSI adapted from the superb Polo R WRC (World Rally Car) is accommodated in the engine compartment at the front of the car. It delivers 220 kW / 295 HP and maximum torque of 400 Nm. In the Golf GTE Sport the four-cylinder masterpiece is assisted by two electric motors.
The engineers positioned the first electric motor at the front (in the housing of the 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox). It develops 85 kW and maximum torque of 330 Nm.
The second electric motor is located at the rear with the same power output but torque of 270 Nm. The total torque of the drive system is 670 Nm.
The Golf GTE Sport concept is powered solely by electricity without producing any emissions. In sporty “GTE mode” all three motors work together, giving the all-wheel-drive Golf GTE Sport a standstill to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph).
In the NEDC cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles the sports car consumes just 2.0 l/100 km/h (117.6 mpg US or 141 mpg imp.).
