Volkswagen unveiled a series of vehicles under the R GT concept line for the 2005 SEMA auto show. This is the first of the three vehicles based on a Volkswagen Jetta. Let’s have a look at the Volkswagen Jetta R GT concept.
Volkwagen in collaboration with HPA Motorsports took a standard Volkswagen Jetta with a 2.5 litre normally aspirated engine and plonked in a version of the 3.2 litre V6 that powers the Volkswagen Golf R32. But that’s not all, the already monstrous 240 horsepower 3.2 litre V6 was twin turbocharged to produce a total of 550 horsepower.
Every other aspect of the car is tuned up as well. Brembo World Rally Championship specification brakes have been fitted, and suspension is a KW FIA 3-way coil-over set. Power is sent to the wheels via a DSG twin-clutch sequential transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
Wheels are 9.5 x 19 inch Avus DTM-spec wheels wrapped with Michelin ultra high performance tyres, which can be replaced easily with 9.5 x 18 inch wheels when the car needs to hit the track. Changing wheels is also easy, with AP Racing air jacks built onto the frame. This is a pure GT car!
The chassis also has an integrated roll cage, Recaro bucket seats, Schroth harnesses and F1-style electronic gauge displays by Stack. The whole interior is styled with black alacantra, carbon fibre and black leather. Classy and sporty at the same time!

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express admiration for the Volkswagen Jetta R GT's stylish design, powerful 550hp engine, and sporty features like unique spoilers and wheels. Many find it highly attractive and drool-worthy, comparing its look to high-end brands like BMW and Audi. Concerns are raised about its high price, maintenance costs, and inaccessibility in certain markets like Malaysia. Some comments compare it unfavorably to local cars or criticize its design, but overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, viewing it as an impressive, "garang" (aggressive) sports car with great performance potential. Several commenters wish to see it available locally, though acknowledging the high costs and road tax associated with such vehicles.
