300 bhp 2.0 litre mark 7

Though obviously no one knows what its going to look like yet

I wonder if the 65bhp one would move by itself?

Ha, but every other hot hatch will be running 350+

I'll wait for the 300bhp engine to filter to the Octavia and save myself £10k

300bhp Golf sounds nice but how much will it weigh?

Just enough to keep the power to weight ratio below "EXCITING" levels

I think I preferred the look of the other mk7 mockup they did. With angular headlamps and a very narrow grille.

The car on auto express is a mark 6. Its a new chassis, suspension etc being tested under an existing body

The actually design of the new mark 7 body work comes later.... come on hurry up vw
