High-energy food for athletes - PowerControl X

On DTE’s test bench the sports variant did not appear in royal red, but it certainly did appear with a good performance. The GTI showed 19 hp more and 6 Nm less on the in-house MAHA dynamometer. However, 19 hp is not enough to satisfy the tuning experts at DTE. With the PowerControl X tun-ing system, the compact car is able to develop powerful 301 HP and 418 Nm. With this expansion he sprints past his brother, the Golf 8 GTI Club-sport, and ranks next to the Golf 8 R. A great increase in performance that makes the compact car go full speed. The performance expansion is made possible due to DTE’s own developed chip tuning, which works with multi-map technology. Thus, the tuning sys-tem optimizes all relevant parameters and controls for more effective com-bustion. With this special thrill the Hot Hatch rules highway and country road.

High performance through high tech

The PowerControl X has a digital feature to match the Digital Cockpit of the Golf 8 GTI. Thanks to the app control, the driver can adapt the tuning to their personal driving style at any time and switch between the Sport, Dy-namic and Efficiency program. Similar to the GTI, DTE’s app has all the useful details at a glance: The driver can view the most important engine data such as boost pressure, manifold pressure and acceleration in real time and optimize them as required. Just like that the Golf 8 GTI continues to offer sporty comfort by maximum performance.
