Attendees of the upcoming Paris motor show would be able to view the highly anticipated MkVI GTI in the metal, but we can give a big thanks to evo UK for bringing us some preview pics for us to enjoy.
Fresh off the success VW have tasted with the MkV GTI, the new MkVI will have big shoes to fill. Sitting under the bonnet of this next-gen GTI will be a 207-hp TFSI engine, with a 10-hp boost over the previous model. New owners will also find a new electronic limited-slip differential between the front wheels, a first for a Golf GTI. The highly praised & proven DSG transmission will also be available as an option.
At first glance, the MkVI exudes inspiration from the Golf W12 concept, with its new front bumper design with the integrated fog lights shifted outwards and the 1-piece lower grille giving the new GTI a wide & aggressive stance. The red highlights on the upper grille would definitely shout out to the older crowd as they reminisce of the first generation GTIs.
Towards the back, the sleek redesigned taillights reduce the chubby look of the MkV GTI while matching the refreshed design of the front headlights, and a refreshed rear bumper with integrated rear diffuser and twin exhausts also pushed outwards further enhance the low-slung, squat look of the new MkVI.
Inside, the changes are minimal with a steering wheel similar to the fifth-gen but with more integrated control buttons. Overall, the results are good and the new hot Golf looks ever-ready to carve corners in the mountains while still looking posh enough to look pretty in front of the newest posh club.
