Final specification for GTI officially revealed

[rodd1000]

comes standard with xenon's and DRL and 18"s this time.

I've not read that anywhere yet, that those are standard??

17's are supposed to be standard from most reports.

Links here, mentions bi-xenons, LED DRL's and 18" wheels as standard in UK. Believe it when you see it though.

Would be good standard spec, at last.

if you get parking sensors (as per standard GT) and the forementioned winter pack too, then its deceant valye for money against the competition.

From the VW web site

18-inch ‘Austin’ alloys will be standard in the UK, special side sills, a rear diffuser and smoked LED rear lights, along with LED numberplate illumination.  UK specification will also include bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights.

Whatever Austin alloys are..

Those Monza shadows with an angle, shown in last years car shows.

Swastika Monzas...

I haven't read anything that says there will be any aesthetic (sp) differences with the performance pack fitted? I reckon if it comes with the "swastika monza's"  the aero parts on the rear window and the wing badges i'll probably go for the standard car.

unladen weight 1351kg

so its not going to be lighter than the mk6 GTI. a standard mk6 weighs 1318kg


all that PR talk of it being around 100kg lighter than the mk6.

wtheyre full of sh!t


and the 'mechanical' LSD isn't a proper one but their haldex system which works off the ESP.

just what I was thinking.
The look of the mk7 is growing on me except the front of the bonnet. It still looks like its been in a nose divefront end crash and bent the bonnet or had a chav maxpower nova/fiesta beak body mod.

Seems to be a few buttons missing off the steering wheel?

That gloss inlay is gonna be a pain in the ass to keep clean!

Yes the Mk7 is growing on me now at last, must say the vortex vid on youtube showing the white concept helps..
