Volkswagen's Golf GTE is much faster than it should be
Touted as a greener alternative to the GTI and GTD, the Volkswagen Golf GTE was never expected to be the fast. But it seems like it is the fastest among its siblings.
According to Automann-TV, they managed to clock the GTE's century sprint in 6.3 seconds which is much faster than what Volkswagen claims it can do (7.6 seconds). In fact, it is faster than both the GTI (6.5 seconds for our local 217bhp version) and GTD (7.5 seconds).
Powered by a 150bhp 1.4TSI engine and paired with a 101bhp electric motor, the official output for the GTE is 204bhp and 350Nm of torque. Considering it is a couple of horses down and more than 100kg heavier than a GTI, we think Volkswagen might have under declared the GTE's real power output!
