Of course, this did not happen in the end. The Beatles have been preserved, and many modern things have been added to the car. Next to it is the new compact car golf, but this has not weakened the achievements of golf. Its appearance brought great sales success to the public and also gave birth to a dynasty. Although most people have memorized the history of golf for a long time, this does not prevent you from revisiting the legendary development history of this Volkswagen classic model again, and maybe you can get extra gains.
1974? Volkswagen? Golf? (Mk 1)
The first generation of Volkswagen Golf was designed by Italian car designer Giorgio? Giugiaro), he is a genius in automobile design. Ferrari 250GTO, Lancia Delta, Fiat Panda, Lotus Esprit and other models are all from his hands.
The earliest first-generation golf was only equipped with 1. 1 liter inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 50 HP and a maximum torque of 78 N m. Since then, Volkswagen has successively launched 1.3L, 1.5L, 1.6L, 1.7L gasoline engines and 1.5L, 655438 maximum torque127N m/32008.
Golf adopts the suspension structure of front McPherson and rear half trailing arm. Compared with the previous "national car" Beetle, golf has greatly improved its maneuverability and practicality. Generally speaking, golf is ahead of the Beatles in workmanship design and practicality, and its launch was loved by many Volkswagen car owners at that time.
1984 Volkswagen Golf GTI(MKI)
It is the fans' pursuit of golf that makes Volkswagen decide to continue to launch high-performance models. At that time, Volkswagen's R&D engineers thought that a powerful high-performance model should be launched, rather than pretending, so they gathered a group of like-minded colleagues to quietly improve the unlisted EA337 and prepare to launch the first generation of golf GTI. It can be said that a large part of the success of golf comes from GTI (from the Italian word "Gran? Turismo？ Iniezione”)，
On the basis of being cool, they strengthened the suspension system of the vehicle, added carburetor to improve the power of the vehicle, and installed an oversized exhaust pipe on the vehicle. The maximum power of the new car was as high as 865,438+0 kW, and the top speed was over 65,438+0.83 km/h. The power output was quite amazing at that time, and the first generation of golf GTI entered the historical stage.
Golf GTI was snapped up as soon as it was released at 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show. Later, it went on to produce 5000 sets. The top management of Volkswagen Group saw that GTI was so popular, so let's continue. In this way, GTI began its brilliant steel gun career.
1990? Volkswagen Golf? GTI？ 16V(MkII)
On the basis of the second generation golf GTI, Volkswagen launched an upgraded version of the model-Golf GTI? 16V. The appearance of the new car is changed to four-round headlights on the original basis. In addition to the red edge of the outer ring of the original air intake grille, red decorative lines have been added to the front and rear bumpers and side door wipers of the new car, and the words "16V" have been added under the GTI logo on the air intake grille to highlight its difference from GTI.
Golf GTI? 16V 1.8L inline four-cylinder 16 valve engine, maximum power 102kW, peak torque 168Nm. With a 5-speed manual gearbox, the top speed is 208km/h, and the acceleration of 100 km takes only 8.5s.
1990 Volkswagen Golf Country? (MkII)
Among the many derivative models of the second generation golf, the golf village is a well-deserved "wonderful flower". It is hard to imagine that the unique front bumper and auxiliary lighting of off-road vehicles, five-spoke wheels with off-road tires, ridiculously high suspension stroke and rear spare tire used by off-road vehicles can actually constitute a derivative model of the second generation golf.
Off-road vehicle-golf? China, because the chassis is raised, equipped with four-wheel drive system, golf? The villages in the Alps in central Europe are very popular. And this car has never been sold in North America, and it is impossible to see it in the United States.
In terms of power, golf? China is equipped with ordinary 1 14 HP 1.8L gasoline engine and 75 HP 1.6L turbocharged diesel engine.
From April 1990 to April199165438+February, a total of 7735 sets of golf villages were produced, including limited edition country all-terrain version 160 sets and limited edition country 558 sets. Chrom and 50 limited edition countries? Wolfsburg (Wolfsburg limited edition was almost snapped up by Volkswagen employees).
1995 Volkswagen? Golf VR6(MkIII)
Although the third generation Volkswagen Golf looks mediocre, there are still some surprises under the hood. Golf VR6(MkIII) has attracted much attention because it is equipped with a six-cylinder engine.
The six-cylinder engine is too big to be suitable for compact small cars, but it has obvious advantages in power output. The innovative narrow angle design of VR6 engine solved the volume problem and successfully matched it on the third generation golf car.
This VR6 is equipped with a 2.8-liter VR6 naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 128kW, a peak torque of 235Nm, an acceleration of only 7.6 seconds per 100 km and a speed limit of 240km/h..
GTI？ The VR6 is more expensive than any previous golf model. The taste is cooler (or the wallet is thinner), and the 2.0 liter GTI also has it, although the power is a little worse than it.
Volkswagen R32 in 2004? (MkIV)
The appearance of Volkswagen R32 is almost the same as that of the fourth generation golf GTI. The standard oval shoehorn lamp and black mesh are similar to ordinary golf GTI. The biggest difference may be that the GTI logo on the front face of the car body has become R32, but the unexpected change is that under the hood, there is a 3.2-liter VR6 engine like a beast!
VR6 engine, four-wheel drive, manual gearbox-this power configuration reminds me of the models that Japanese car companies have studied for many years and produced for rally.
Can you think of it as the WRX of the public? STI, if you want. R32 has a power of 240 HP, although its performance index is not as good as that of competitors, such as Mitsubishi EVO. We think that the smooth narrow angle V6 can make driving more smooth and comfortable and full of power.
Volkswagen Golf GTI? W 12-650？ (MkV)
The fifth generation golf is a lovely car, but this GTI launched in 2006 surprised us. It's actually just a crazy concept car. Now, it seems to be a strange dream. Is it true that Volkswagen actually made golf GTI? W 12-650 concept car. It really exists. This is not design learning, but a real car.
This GTI? The outline of W 12 looks like an ordinary golf cart, and the wheelbase is the same as that of a golf cart, which is 10 1.5 inch. Its height is reduced by 2.8 inches, and four 19-inch wheels are installed. Strange to say, the compact size of this W 12 makes it possible to modulate such a configuration combination. All the weights add up to 3770 Jin, which is about 620 Jin heavier than ordinary GTI.
The car is equipped with Volkswagen Group's flagship power 6.0-liter W 12 cylinder engine, and with large exhaust capacity setting and bi-turbo dual turbocharging system, it squeezes out the maximum horsepower of 650 PS/6000 rpm and the peak torque of 76.5kgm, which can also be shown at 4,500 rpm. Powerful power and six-speed automatic gearbox make golf GTI? W 12-650 easy to pay 0- 100km/h? The shocking realm of 3.7 seconds and 325 km/h.
Such a result, let alone comprehensively suppress the top modified version of golf? Golf GTI, even today's top super-running may not be cheap!
20 12 Volkswagen? GTD golf club
What is GTD? We all know that GTI is a gasoline engine product, and in order to cope with the current trend of environmental protection, performance cars can not lag behind, so the golf GTD with diesel engine was born.
This car is equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine, and the official average speed is 80 kilometers per hour. In other words, if you are ready to drive rationally, a 55-liter fuel tank can drive 965 kilometers. If not, you can still get pretty good mileage.
20 17 Volkswagen pure electric e-Golf(MkVII)
Classic electronic golf will also face clean energy electrification. At the beginning, the new pure electric vehicle has a cruising range of only133km (excluding the cruising range, the US sales reached 4,000 vehicles in 20 16), and now it has launched 20 17? Electronic golf? Improve the model.
20 17? The biggest advantage of e-Golf is that the cruising range is extended from the original 133 km to 200 km with the same number and weight of batteries as the previous e-Golf. The maximum cruising range under the new European standard driving cycle (NEDC) can reach 300 kilometers).
The horsepower is increased from 1 15 to 134, and the torque is also increased from 199 lb-ft to 2 14 lb-ft, making 20 17? E-golf can be more fun. 20 17? Electronic golf includes SE, SEL? Premium and e-Golf limited edition, what's the difference more in SEL? Fast charging function of premium models. The above three e-Golf models are all equipped with a faster 7.2kW? On-board charging system, but at the traditional level? 2? It will take at least 6 hours to charge the 240 volt charging pile.
202 1 Volkswagen Golf GTI(MkVIII)
Maybe the Volkswagen Group itself hopes for the future ID? 3 and ID4 occupy a favorable position in their own exhibition hall. After all, the new energy vehicle market will dominate in the future, but many of us still remember golf!
The appearance of the new golf can be said to have changed a lot compared with the previous generation. No matter how you change it, it will still be golf, there will be a GTI version, equipped with a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, and you can still choose a manual gearbox.
It is reported that the new Golf GTI is equipped with Volkswagen's latest 2.0-liter EA888 turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which can provide 24 1 horsepower and 370 Nm of power output, which is significantly improved compared with the previous generation.
In addition, many new standard configurations have been added to new cars in the American market. Among them, in terms of appearance, the front part is equipped with a lighting grille, and at the same time, 65,438+00 independent LED fog lights are added to the lower honeycomb grille; A puddle lamp under the door where the rearview mirror projects to the ground is also standard? .
I have to say that this is one of my most anticipated cars recently.
