00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.980
- Volkswagen's going Buck Wild

2
00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:04.740
at this year's SEMA show
with a brand new Jetta.

3
00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:07.620
The Jetta GLI Performance.

4
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:09.330
The wide body GLI Performance

5
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:12.870
concept started life as a 2022 Jetta GLI,

6
00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:14.130
with a six speed manual

7
00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:15.900
and a two liter four cylinder engine.

8
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.970
But now, it's much more than that.

9
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:20.100
The fenders at all four
corners have been widened

10
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.390
by about an inch.

11
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:23.100
They're paired up with larger side skirts,

12
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.190
a custom front bumper
and grill, and a custom

13
00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:29.880
hexagon themed matte black
vinyl wrap that transitions

14
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:33.210
to the GLI's factory
King's Red metallic paint.

15
00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:35.790
All of it looks pretty
killer, if you ask me.

16
00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:37.890
The GLI Performance concept isn't just

17
00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:39.360
about thick looks though.

18
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:40.920
Volkswagen tells us it's added

19
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.550
a performance turbo charger
package, a carbon fiber

20
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:46.080
cold air intake, and a bunch

21
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.469
of other performance goodies
that are gonna take the Jetta

22
00:00:48.469 --> 00:00:50.460
GLI, up to eleven.

23
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.250
Power is still routed
to the front wheels only

24
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:55.320
through God's intended transmission,

25
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.700
a six speed manual.

26
00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:59.220
Volkswagen says the GLI
performance concept pumps

27
00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:03.720
out 350 horsepower and
372 pound feet of torque.

28
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:06.840
The real centerpiece are the magnificent

29
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.910
20 inch Turbo Fan wheels.

30
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:10.740
I mean, just look at those.

31
00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:13.170
More cars need Turbo Fan wheels.

32
00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:16.800
This is an edict I am putting
out to all other automakers.

33
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:17.633
