New MK7 GTI Spec on Top Gear Website

[Daz Auto]

Have recently found out the next GTI will have 135 bhp while the GTI will be 100 kg lighter thanks to the lighter roof.
This will make for incredible handling while the car will feel a lot quicker also.

Well that's it then. I'm out 

 

I'm assuming you mean 235hp?

Nah... they are going to remove 75 horsies and make it 135hp as it only weighs 100kg. It'll be rocket powered.

Sorry about that , yes you are right 235bhp.

Why are you out ?

Just a wee joke about it only having 135hp, don't worry  .

New S3 is rumoured to have 300bhp, which would mean the R (being an S3 in a dress) will have 300bhp. So the GTI could have more power.

LOL, typical Audi driver! Why would the R be an S3? Why wouldnt the S3 be an R in a dress?  I know it is now as the S3 came out years and years ago but these cars are yet to be designed....

Slight correction...

The R is alot newer than the S3, so the new S3 will come out first and then the R will be based on it again. Simples.

Or the S3 will come out first, then once all the niggles have been sorted the R will be released as the perfected version. 

And then Audi will get their pants in a twist that the R is a better car than the S3 and release a new RS3 just so they can be the attention grabbing hot hatch makers that they secretly are.

Heres hoping, i will be purchasing an RS3 as my next car in a few years so a newer one is great!

That's a bit of a stretch. The TT shares underpinnings but it's hardly a Golf in a dress. If you are going along the 'it's prettier' route then the Scirocco is the Golf in pretty clothing, but the TT is a 2+2, not a 5 passenger hatchback like the a3 and Golf.
