The Golf Variant RaVe 270 is a concept car. It makes it unmistakably
clear how much potential lies in the Golf Variant, both in its design
and basic technology. RaVe 270 stands for 270 PS, for a completely
modified design in race car style, a very sporty interior and techno
music from a powerful 1,400 Watt high-end sound system.
The basis for this unique system is the new RNS 510 radio-navigation
system. A total of 13 loudspeakers are supplied via three powerful
output amplifiers. A strong 880 Watt subwoofer and two other 250 Watt
subwoofers in chrome are responsible for the distinctly "palpable"
sound. The 880 Watt subwoofer – just like the output amplifiers – is
located so that it is visible on the cargo floor. Also integrated in
the rear were two 12-inch monitors, so that the music of the best bands
could not only be heard but seen too.
The Golf Variant RaVe 270 was developed and built by Volkswagen
Individual GmbH. The idea behind this car: to transfer GTI and R32
feeling to a Golf Variant for the first time. So the RaVe 270 was made
faster by a performance-enhanced version of the Golf GTI engine and the
4Motion all-wheel drive of the Golf R32. Forces between the engine and
all-wheel drive are distributed by the DSG dual clutch transmission.
After just 5.8 seconds, the Golf Variant RaVe 270 is already moving at
100 km/h. Not until 250 km/h is reached do the electronics stop further
acceleration. Despite its awesome driving performance, average fuel
consumption of the Golf Variant RaVe 270 is just 9.1 liters of Super
gasoline (95 ROZ) per 100 kilometers.
Volkswagen developed a new design line for all add-on
body parts. The bumpers, radiator grille, side skirts, taillights,
headlamps, and even the mirrors – everything was modified. Take the
front end, for example: the classic Golf radiator grille is used here.
Directly below it is a completely modified bumper with three large air
inlets, like those typically used in car racing. The xenon headlamps of
the RaVe 270 got a new look by extending the engine hood and fenders
and adding new special caps. Integrated here: daylight running lamps in
LED technology. At the rear end, there are two twin-fluted tailpipes on
the left and right. Between them is a diffuser that provides for
additional traction. In its side profile, details like the 19 inch
alloy wheels of the "Zaragoza" type give the concept car a distinctive
character in combination with the sport chassis that was lowered by 20
millimeters.
Among other features, the upgraded interior is characterized by leather
sport bucket seats with R-Logo and painted door handle recesses.
