Golf GTI/GTD/R

Exceptional body rigidity and laser welded bodyshell

Results in a safer and stronger car that offers a smoother, more agile drive.

Overview

Extra strength to protect you

We're always looking for ways to make our cars safer and more enjoyable for you to drive. That's why we've used the latest manufacturing methods, including state-of-the-art laser welding, to craft the exceptionally rigid bodyshell.

As a result, the structure is so strong that, in the event of a collision, it can absorb the impact energy and thereby hold the driver and passengers safely within its protective inner cell. You'll also find it has improved road holding and, because laser welding ensures narrow, uniform gaps between the body panels, dramatically reduced wind noise.
