We will soon know what the Golf facelift looks like. Though it may still be a few months until we will know how the performance models look.
I was just looking at the S3 facelift. It received some slight improvements in spec. The Golf R will likely get the same spec. So 300PS to 310PS and a 7 speed DSG.
This has left we wondering about the other performance Golfs...
The GTE is expected to get similar performance to the Passat. So 201bhp to 216bhp.
The last few GTIs have been given 10PS extra. So 220PS to 230PS for the standard car. Though some are speculating that the GTI will get more to keep up with the Skoda Octavia vRS.
I can't see anything to indicate that the GTD will get any improvements. They didn't make any changes to the 184PS engine in the A3. It didn't get the 7 speed DSG either. Though it would seem strange if the GTD were left out.
