Power is transmitted to the permanent four-wheel drive by a sequential six-speed gearbox with paddle shift operation.<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen&#8217;s last factory fielding of the Golf on the famous roller-coaster circuit of the N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife dates back to 2007, at which time the 300 PS front-wheel drive vehicle that delivered about 300 hp finished in eighth place overall, ahead of numerous favourites. Successive class victories for the Scirocco GT24 over the past three years have followed but the competitiveness of the event has increased enormously meaning a new technical concept was required.<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen explains: &#8216;With the new Golf24 we are continuing our successful commitment at the N\u00fcrburgring 24-hour race. The event enjoys huge popularity, is one of the true classics in motorsport and, due to its extreme distance and unique race track, also represents a very big technical challenge, With our spectacular Golf we want to provide an additional highlight in front of a large audience &#8211; right in time for the 35th anniversary of the GTI this year.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Before lining up on the grid of the gruelling 25 km circuit in June, the Golf24 will undergo an extensive testing and development programme. This began at the end of last year at Portugal&#8217;s Portim\u00e3o circuit and further tests have been completed at Vallelunga in Italy. The Golf24 will also compete in three races in the Endurance Championship on the N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife.<\/p>\n<p><a
