Thanks to the performance improvement from 180 to 195 kW, you can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h within 5.9 seconds. The front axle differential lock in combination with progressive steering ensures even more comfort on your journeys even at the maximum speed of 250 km/h. is it really possible considering the MK8 GTI did 6.3 sec with 245 h.p. ? I'm inclined to believe VW as they usually don't lie like other manufacturers (we won't point the finger but we all know.. )

I agree Bill San; they need to come off. I would consider adding a couple of Flitzers (side wing badges). There are plenty on eBay from around £20 but being overly critical I don’t see any that say GTI in the Mk8 font which is different from that on the 7.5, the G is different. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225973498557?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J6rWrBs6Qqe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3KSa6FY4TXi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
