Golf 8.5 - you saw it here first!
« on: 31 August 2023, 23:37 »
The first leaked shots of the ‘finished’ Golf 8.5 surfaced this evening - taken from VW Group’s ‘Mobility Evening’ in Munich that serves as a pre-cursor for the press before the International Motor Show next week.

The Golf was in the background of a photo taken of the brand new Passat. I believe that the Golf in the picture is in R Line trim as the bumper is a close match to the Passat’s, which is also an R Line. It’s common for VW to launch their cars in R Line trim these days too.

The 8.5 GTI will also be unveiled next week, as given away by the following teasers on VW’s German Twitter page.

Let's hope they did some pre-production testing on this one  :grin:

It has potential but I'm going to say they'll have cocked it up again. New Passat looks good except for the interior screen...very ford...

"Special-edition 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI 380 celebrates the manual transmission in VW's hot hatch!"

My initial reaction was of total enthusiasm. 380bhp in a GTi with a manual box... Incredible, I will fit that clutch into my mk7 CS when the time comes?

Then I read the article and jumped back from my initial conclusions! :)
