Volkswagen never be done with loaded versions of the seventh generation Golf (mean impending commodity R400 and GTI Clubsport), but the Network has already crept conversations about Golf eighth generation and top-end variants in particular. How did you manage to find out our French colleagues from Automobile Magazine, the youngest in performance-lineup — for granted GTI will be a bit lighter than its predecessor and is much more powerful. More than 300-strong, more specifically.
So, the new G. T. I. came up with the current R-modification, while heading the family. While it will be about 30-50 pounds lighter than the GTI and seventh, thanks to Evo-version of the MQB platform, will get a longer wheelbase. Interestingly, under the hood also prescribe a two-liter turbirovannye four, coupled with a 6-speed manual or robot of your choice, and to cope with such herd of horses will help him upgraded brakes, limited slip differential, electrical and adaptive shock absorbers.
Under a rash stuffing new G. T. I. will get advanced interior in the spirit of fresh Golf R Touch concept. That is, with two displays, one of which will act as the instrument panel, and a touch control unit climate with the music. Appears and projection display and multimedia system here will grind it immediately and under the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Of course, with confidence you can also count on the special chips in the exterior. For example, in the fully led optics. Only here to get acquainted closer with all this, alas, will not be earlier than three years — the next Golf GTI is predicted for launch in early 2019, which means that premiere in the second half of 2018. What can I say — we will wait.
