What is GTI?

The GTI system was originally developed to power long-distance journeys without sacrificing performance so that you could get consistent and long-lasting power when you’re out on the St Peters and St Louis road without having to worry about the condition of your vehicle’s engine. While GTI was originally tested in certain Gran Turismo Italian models, it soon found a home in the Volkswagen Golf, before becoming more common across other forward-thinking manufacturers as well. Some of the biggest benefits of GTI systems are:

  • Heightened fuel efficiency
  • More power
  • Cleaner emissions
  • Increased fuel economy
