Mk 6 GTi spotted....
« 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.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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!
