Page 1 of 1 At the New York International Auto Show, Volkswagen of America, Inc. unleashed a new, very limited 2002 enthusiasts' version of its famous GTI called the GTI 337 Edition. Volkswagen said it will build and sell just 1,500 GTI 337 Editions. The 337 is loosely based on the very rare GTI 25th Anniversary edition sold exclusively in Europe last year to commemorate that continent's silver anniversary of this famous sports hatchback. The name 337 was chosen as it was the code name for the original Golf in the seventies.
The GTI 337 comes loaded with the necessities demanded by Volkswagen's modern driving purists. One of the most striking exterior features is the 337's special 18-inch alloy wheels that offer a glimpse of the braking power of the car's 16-inch discs with red calipers, a first for a factory equipped GTI in the U.S. These wheels come wrapped with special Z rated (225/40) performance tires.
Envious drivers will also note a subtle but sporty use of a front chin spoiler, rear valance, darkened taillamps, matching side skirts and rear spoiler that does its air splitting just above the hatch. In the rear, the sounds of the engine play from a single polished stainless steel exhaust pipe. Page 1 of 1
