ON THE ROAD

With APS Brackley

Finished in Pure White, this super example has covered just 1,060 miles and is car number 212 of just 400 built worldwide of which just 150 were allocated for the UK market. This UK supplied example was first registered on the 12th of December 2016. The only option at the time of order was to spec with or without A/C and this APS example is fitted with it. Pure White really sets this car off beautifully and you will notice and appreciate the subtle cosmetic changes far more, such as the gloss black front bumper air intakes,

larger tailgate spoiler and lower rear diffuser. Beyond it’s driver focused intent, the Clubsport S is business as usual for anyone familiar with Volkswagens high level of build quality. It’s interior presents beautifully with honeycomb pattern cloth Recaro sports bucket seats and alcantara-trimmed sport steering wheel with red stitching at the 12-o’clock mark.

The Clubsport S represents a very collectable and truly limited edition of the VW Golf. With input from exPorsche engineer Karsten Schebsdat, the results are sensational. Those familiar with the MK7 GTI will notice the cars familiar 19” Pretoria alloy wheels, but look more closely and you will notice lots of differences. Significant chassis changes, bodywork, weight reduction, larger brakes, extra power and a manual gearbox with a special LSD were just some of the changes that gives the Clubsport S such outstanding performance and indeed for a time it held the Nürburgring lap time record for a production car with front-wheel drive. The combination of DCC, it’s trick LSD and different hub design to give more negative camber translates to huge amounts of traction and cornering ability

well beyond the regular Clubsport or Performance Pack GTI variants.

Presented for sale through APS with, as you would expect, a full history file, this is a super example of a very rare and collectible Volkswagen which will no doubt provide the next owner a lot of enjoyment. Contact Ed at APS for more information.
