You can only order a new gti now in 245hp so it's a decrease.
These stories.... try comparing a load of them over time.... no 3 door, keeping three door, special gti version, no special gti version, R has a bit more power, R has 9,000,000bhp...And then the funny photoshops...
Found this supposedly leaked image last night. Not sure how real it is but thought I’d share...

Not sure how real it is but thought I’d share...That picture was doing the rounds a couple of weeks ago on various forums and the general consensus was that it wasn’t real.The one in this video though............. looks like it might be the genuine article; posted a couple of days ago on golfmk7.com. Apparently, the video was filmed of the mk8 Golf road testing in South Africa. Headlights in this car (seen at the end of the video clip) look very similar to the current Polo headlamps and not like the ones on the black car at the drive through. The slightly concave shape of the wheel arches is also similar to the Polo. The waist high crease line through the doors and into the rear quarter panel harks back to the mk6 Golf and is higher than on the current Golf. The bonnet line of the silver car in the video clip looks flatter and less rounded than the bonnet on the black car at the McDonald’s drive through. Door mirrors are attached to the door panels as evo1986 mentioned in an earlier post.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/files-702/1549895738_VID-20190211-WA0004.mp4So, if it is genuine, quite similar but subtly different to the mk7/mk7.5, and not surprisingly it follows VW’s evolutionary design approach for the Golf. IMO VW weren’t ever going to produce a radically different design for their core model that might alienate existing and prospective owners.

Those pics from the drive through look exactly like the potential finished car including mirrors on the door skins. And confirmed the guy above who's seen it who works for VW. That video is more fake than the Veyron driving into the lake! A finished GTI in bright red nearly 2 years early taken on a phone with the image of quality of an old Nokia. Yes, that must be real
