Want one? - Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk.6 silently launched!

Introducing - Maju Motors has silently launched the Golf version we have been waiting for, or should I say.. the adrenaline-pumped rabbit? - The Volkswagen Golf Mk. 6 GTI.

"The new GTI gets the same two-litre turbo engine as the Edition 30 GTI, but putting out 207bhp and 206lb ft of torque. That's 10bhp more than the Mk5 GTI, but 24bhp less than the Edition 30 - and way down on the Astra VXR and Mazda3 MPS

It'll hit 62mph in 7.2 seconds, which is exactly the same as the Mk5 but a full second slower than the hot Astra. Top speed is a healthy 149mph.

But the GTI has always been about more than raw power, and we'd expect the Mk6 to be every bit as good to drive as its illustrious predecessor, as it gets the Scirocco's adaptive chassis control (ACC) and a trick electronic diff as standard."

It's been stated that there are only currently 3 Golf Mk.6 GTI's out from Maju Motors (One sold) for now but don't worry.. there will be more coming rolling into the country soon by next month.
