2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Performance Concept

Volkswagen of America recently revealed its Jetta GLI Performance concept at the recent SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Created by its Design Centre in California, the concept was built on a 2022 Jetta GLI Autobahn with six-speed manual, the GLI Performance concept features front and rear fenders that are 0.8 inches wider than stock, all with backside vents.

The motorsport-inspired flares are tied together at the profile through larger profile side skirts. A custom front bumper boasts upsized grille intakes, while the rear bodywork sports updated grille inserts and a muscular lower valance that frames the car’s twin-exit sport exhaust. A custom hexagonthemed matte black vinyl wrap transitions to the car’s factory shade of Kings Red Metallic paint. RacingLine added its IS38 turbo-based performance package with an R600 Carbon Fibre Cold-Air Intake and Performance Intercooler deliver the necessary fl ow of cool air, while an oil management kit and oil cooler aid with thermal management of the motor’s oil.

To counter the 350 horsepower and 372 pound-feet of torque the car features a RacingLine Stage 3+ six-pot big brake kit with carbon-ceramic discs and TrackSport coilover suspension kit. Wrapping the concept is a set of forged GRZ 20” Rotiform wheels, with Aerodisc covers, plus pair of Recaro Pole Position ABE seats trimmed in a custom Texagon themed material.
