This is all the more true, of course, when these compact sports cars enjoy the benefit of targeted, subsequent refinement and individualization. We at MANHART Performance underline this with our MANHART Golf GTI 290 presented here. Essential, visual adjustments that give the car an even more coherent and dynamic appearance, are undoubtedly the new wheels and the lowering: The latter is due to a set of H&R springs, which lower the body by 40 millimetres. The MANHART multi-spoke rims in Venturi style mounted under the wings have the dimensions 8×19 inches ET40, the mounted tyres measure 225/35ZR19.
The GTI in the eighth model generation already has a remarkable 245 hp and 370 Nm ex works. The MANHART team nevertheless detected further optimization potential here and gave the two-litre turbo, four-cylinder of the hot hatch a power boost with the help of its in-house MHtronik module: This boosts the power unit – the name of the car already suggested it – to a whopping 290 hp and 425 Nm.
