Title: Mk 6 GTi spotted....
Post by: Mk1Macca on 26 August 2008, 09:48
Here's a link to some spy shots of the new MK 6 hot weather testing... Roll on 2009, and hopefully a friendly bank manager!

Is it time to start a MK6 section yet?  :wink:

If only they did... Would certainly make our lives easier! Nope, these require the use of people who actually hide in bushes for a living.

Hey!
When I drove a mk5 GTi I couldn't help thinking "Man, I wish they'd beef up the brakes, suspension and bodywork"

No R32, no R36?! What the hell is going on?!

My life is in ruin now, thanks Volkswagen again for building up our spirits and then shattering them with a swift, gentle 258lb/ft mallet.

However, VW will, in spirit, bring it back via an all-wheel-drive R variant called GTI-R. It will be powered by the 265hp 2.0 TFSI found in the Audi S3.

Not to bad, 4 wheel drive version, just a bit annoying that they are dropping the r32 due to eu immisions regulations!! how gay!

the first link shows the car running the BBS rims which imo should have been fitted as standard on the mk5...

be interesting if the link in the second one looks anything like the final version...I just don't know why they don't just lift the tape off and show the damn cars...and if i had to sit in bushes i'd prefer it to be done with VBH from 5th Gear like when she went off doing the old capturing of new models.  :smiley:
