Q:

What does GTI, GLI and so on mean?

A: Eroupian and North American

L = Luxe (base model)

LS = Luxe Special, couple more do-dads

GT = Grand Tourisme, better equipped & usually a larger engine than the "L" series

GL = Grand Luxe (geared for more luxury), basically == GT

GTI/GLI = Originally, the fuel injected version of a GT/GL which means it

produced a lot more power. With most cars FI, the GTI/GLI

designation means a more powerful engine than a GT/GL model,

sometimes also with a better suspension and brake systems.

GLI != Jetta, as the case in the USA.

SL = Serie Limite' (limited series), like the Karmann series in US.

Really a variation on a GT.

GTX = Same as GTI but used in Europe and elsewhere.

G40/60 = GT version with VWs G-type supercharger. The number is the width

of the G-charger (lader in D) coil in millimeters. For those who

aren't aware, the G40 is used on some Polos, the G60 on Passats

and Corrados.

VR6 = Cars based on the new staggered 6 cylinder engine (in-line-V-6).

SLC = Sport Luxury Coupe, the VR6 equipped Corrado in the US.

Syncro = VWs version 4WD distributes its torque with a "visco-gear"

(It's a special silicone gel that stiffens if the relative

motion (shear) increases)d

VWs 4WD is designed by Steyr-Puch, an Austrian Company and not

by Audi.

Originally, all European VWs were carbureted, except those with the "I" or

"i" and a few rare cases with an "E" for "einspritz", designation which had

a more powerful fuel injected engine, a "GT" set-up, and some more sporty

equipment (suspension, gauges).

In the US, VW switched over to FI around 78, and in Europe a bit later

(with mono-throttle FI) which meant that all cars really counted as "I"

models.

GTI/GLI now just means that the car has a more powerful engine and a

sportier set-up.

Just in case your curious.
