spied: All - New 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI MKVII Hits the Nurburgring for testing
If ever there was a larger model in the wide range of Volkswagen group, it is the seventh generation the Golf, we have the opportunity to see him in person for the first time at the upcoming 2012 Paris Motor Show in September.
Let's say we were to distinguish a variant out of reach of the Golf, which would probably be the GTI, the model that gave birth to an entire segment. However, before you get too excited, know that we will not see the next Golf GTI in Paris, but probably in Geneva next March.
Since its introduction is a year away, we have the best thing with our first spy photos of the Golf GTI MKVII bringing its holding production while testing on ' Ring.
Compared to regular golf prototypes, we made earlier this year, the GTI is distinguished by larger alloy wheels wrapped in tires around the body, beefier and reduces side skirts. The car seen here is the five-door model, but Volkswagen will also offer a version with three doors and possibly a convertible later.
The design of the Mk7 Golf should evolve from the current Golf with the GTI, with its usual signature style features such as a unique front grille with red accents, smoked lights and plaid seats.
The fact that it goes on any new MQB modular platform of the Volkswagen group, which debuted on 2013 Audi A3 hatchback, means that the GTI will be lighter than the current model.
Power for the next GTI will come from an uprated version of the 2.0-liter EA888 today turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 220hp to 230hp about, from 207hp GTI 2012 (210PS). The power increase with the lightest body should help make the new GTI slightly faster than the outgoing model.
A manual gearbox or six-speed transmission seven-speed dual-clutch option will drive the front wheels via a brand new, differential electronically controlled limited slip.
