GTI Clubsport - Nurburgring Mode
« on: 31 January 2021, 09:01 »
Is this standard on the clubsport? Seen a few videos with it and a few without. Can’t see anything on the configurator about it

I think it only comes with DCC.
I don’t have DCC and can’t see the Green Hell mode in the selections unless I’ve overlooked it somewhere (which is quite possible  :laugh: )

It almost is certainly associated with DCC because it softens the suspension...just thought of that.

Can’t find anywhere that the ‘special mode’ is associated with DCC. All articles point back to it being there as standard. I’ll try and get some info from my dealer

Not sure if its a German only thing but the performance pack definitely isnt an option on the uk configurator
