VW has released the first official images of the 7th generation Golf GTI, which, for the first time in its history, prototypes and is launched in two versions!

The popular GTI, as is its GTD diesel counterpart, will premiere in Geneva, next week and from March it will go on sale in Germany, from 28.350 euro. In the rest of Europe and in our country, expected to be available, from next May.

The special element of the new Golf GTI is that for the first time in its history there will also be an improved version, directly from the factory. The reason for the Performance version, in which the four-cylinder turbo of 2.000 κ.εκ. it will pay off 230 horsepower, instead of 220 of the "simple" GTI.

Anyway, either with me 220 either with 230 Horses the new flagship Golf is fast (0-100 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 6,5 seconds and final 245 for that of 220 PS, 0-100 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 6,4 seconds and top speed 250 km/h for the Performance), economical and "clean". In fact, in combination with their manual gearbox 6 relations (there is also a DSG dual-clutch automatic) it will circulate freely in the green ring, as CO2 emissions are limited to 139 gr / km.

The GTI also stands out externally from the simpler ones in the range, thanks to the red insignia on his mask, the other bumpers, its aerodynamic aids, their rims 17 inch and the red calipers on the brakes. Inside, the traditional checkered trim on the sports seats remains, while the details in the decoration are also characteristic, together with the racing steering wheel and the corresponding selector.
