We’ve brought you plenty of updates on the Golf VII GTI already, but now Autocar is predicting a significant power boost for the Golf icon. It was previously reported the 2.0 litre turbo in the next GTI would have around 165–170kW, but suggestions now predict as much as 195kW (260hp). Due for sales release in […]
If you look closely, beneath that heavy camouflage, trying to peek out is a honeycomb grille. That and the lowered stance of the Golf VII prototype are the best clues that we’re looking at the next-gen GTI. The regular Golf is due for its worldwide debut at the Paris Motor Show in September, so don’t […]
One of the main improvements for the upcoming Volkswagen Golf VII GTI is a mechanical limited-slip diff, Car magazine reports. That follows news the Mk7 GTI is likely to make the most of its new MQB platform and weigh up to 100kg less compared to the current 1360kg weight Mk6 GTI (1380kg with DSG). A […]
For the first time since the Mk1 GTI, Volkswagen is set to release a new Golf GTI Cabriolet, Auto Express reports. The reveal is expected to take place at next month’s Geneva Motor Show and will be one of the last new launches on the Mk6 platform, before the Mk7 debuts at Paris in September. […]
Autocar makes it a quinella of Golf Mk7 news with word the next GTI will receive a timely power increase. Currently the Mk6 GTI has 155kW (208hp) provided by its EA888 engine. Predictions suggest Volkswagen’s boffins will fiddle with the same engine for the Mk7 GTI and increase power to around 165kW (220hp). The current […]
This rendering from Autocar supports their theory the next-gen Volkswagen Golf will sport a sleeker look with a more dramatically raked windscreen. A wider track, lower roofline and seating position are also changes expected when the Mk7 Golf hits overseas showrooms in 2012. An initial debut is predicted for the Geneva Motor Show in March. […]
Maybe Volkswagen read my little typography rant published to Instagram after my Autostadt visit back in April (see below). Maybe they didn’t, but what they have done is launch two new fonts to take the brand into the future. Gone is the still very functional and successful VW Headline and VW Utopia fonts, in use […]
The recently previewed Volkswagen Golf R400 has us excited. It may have you excited too. Well, get ready to put your super-dooper excitement pants on because Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen’s R&D boss, has been recently quoted as saying the R400, “could make more than 400 horsepower.” Say that again. MORE THAN 400 HORSEPOWER! Adding some credibility […]
The 8V Audi A3 has been named the 2014 World Car of the Year, beating a field of 24 finalists which had been narrowed down to three and included the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. On awarding the A3 the grand prize the judges noted: “It might borrow styling hints from its bigger brothers, […]
Here’s your extreme Golf GTI. It’s a bit more extreme than we were expecting too. So far we’ve only got a handful of sketches to go on, but look at that body work! To go with the out there exterior styling Volkswagen has given the ‘Design Vision GTI’ a massive 370kW punch. 370kW; that’s 500 […]
To help promote the release of the Golf VII GTI at the Geneva Motor Show Volkswagen has released this Frank Sinatra inspired video. The clip closes with the line, “Often copied. Never equalled.” Volkswagen knows the GTI has big boots to fill, we can’t wait to find out how they’ve gone honouring the GTI legend. […]
Euro estates; we love ’em. Volkswagen Golfs; yep, we love them too. So when Volkswagen Australia finally cottoned on and gave us the Mk6 Golf Wagon back in 2010 you’d think we’d have been over the moon. The thing is, the previous-gen Golf estate was butt-ugly. Clearly Volkswagen’s usually competent, if unadventurous, design team had […]
