Launch for Mk6 GTi is.....or Mk6 stuff here!

Sorta like a Pirelli Edition?

Don't know.. i have a feeling they'll exploit the 33 year anniversary of the car rather than wait for the 35th, just because Model 33 is "hip and funky" to ze germans. Anywho once they hit the showrooms they could be on different wheels completely.. perhaps they didn't want to give away too much of the styling for the press stuff

....Well, I still prefer my RedRobin Edition

But I'll be very interested to see how the Mk6 GTI drives when my dealer has one.

and in auto express

XDS Electronic Limited Slip Diff too  (I guess thats similar to the new cooper s type)

wonder if it retro fits to the MkV ? 

....My Mk5 is in pieces as we 'speak' - Having a modified Quaife ATB diff installed. I think I will be happier with it than something else electronic but I'm fascinated to find out more about how the XDS diff works.

I think it just electronically reduces the power going to the wheel losing traction?

[08micsta]

Isnt that ESP?

And I think that the rims will make the new GTi much like I feel they make the Rocco.

I think we will see the official rims when it is unveiled in Paris.

Thats reduces power to both wheels i think!

[08micsta]

How would that help if both wheels have lost traction? 

I am probably wrong though 

[Jkctr]

Its more for straight line where as the electronic LSD will help with cornering!

[08micsta]

Well electronic LSD would help with traction in general and not just cornering...

Mike

[Jkctr]

Potentially yes as it would allow the wheel with traction to continue to have power until the other wheel gained more!

Either that or its complete magic and they simply got Paul Daniel's to help make the car?
