Launch for Mk6 GTi is.....or Mk6 stuff here!
« on: 21 September 2008, 19:08 »
 This January,

 Dealers are taking orders nxt month for January delivery.

 Std GTi confimed as the 211bhp TSI engine(maybe has the K03 turbo). Been to visit My local dealer today and he confirmed that GTi is on show at the Paris in October.

 Maybe old news to some but just thought id pass this on for those that didnt  :smiley:

hmmm seems a bit odd to sell it with 211bhp... surely it should be better than the Ed30/Pirelli?

Well it least its slower then its Mk5 last model predessescor, although it has the fancy suspention setup as the Scirroco, but what i do like the look of is the new smarter looking interia. He said that Vw reckon that each panel on the new Mk6 is different to the mk5 but in his opinion, it looks pretty much the same!.
Also confirmed  whilst i was there that the R with the v6 engine is "no more" and wont be in the GTi R later in 2009, (around Sept). That will be the 2.0 fsi tuned to 270bhp with the K04 turbo.

He confimed that this image IS of the new GTi coming.

Not nessasarly so lee, it maybe that 211bhp is a good balance for its new suspention setup?? and also the GTi R coming later wont sell as well if they put the Pirelli/Ed30 lump in.
