MK6 VW Gti announced

With the dust settling on the recent launch of the all new MK6 Vw Golf plans have been announced to release the latest GTI version for Autumn 2009.With rivals such as Renault releasing the new Megane Renault sport shots at the recent Geneva motor show and Fords monster Focus RS also front page material – VW certainly had to release something to set pulses racing. The new GTI is expected to have increased power and be lighter than the last model so should be one to watch. The top performance model that will replace the R32 will ditch the v6 engine and instead use a turbo motor that looks quite a lot like the Audi S3 offering. Another aspect that will be similar to the Audi will be the 4 wheel drive specification that it is thought to be equipped with rather than the limited slip diffs that the Ford and Renault have.
