Mk 7 GTI **OFFICIAL PICS**

[neg]

didnt sell well enough....  maybe as it was priced too high 

[stealthwolf]

 

Agreed - if it had been cheaper, there'd have been more sold.

Is it just me or is there no MAF 

[Mk5 GTian]

I Love it. Absolutely love it.

With the Ea888 producing 230 bhp, what gains will be made from a simple revo stage 1 remap?

Would it be similar to that gained on Stage 1 on an Ed30 i.e around 290-300 bhp?

With stronger brake option ticked, might be the perfect GTi.

[andrewparker]

Any indication yet what the list price will be?

[andrewparker]

In EVO this month they review the 1.4 TSI GT, which lists at over £22k. Is it conceivable that the GTI will be in the region of £28k?

You can't do handbrake turns with an e-brake  

Im told you can do one mother of an emergency stop with one though. Yet to be tried out on the company Pissrat.


Oh and I like it. Can't go wrong with a Golf.

I just need a job closer to home to justify getting a petrol engine.

[beetie]

thought i hated the look of the new mk7 but, after seeing the pics RR posted a link to, i actually like it.

would have to have a 3dr in blue with those snowflake type wheels, i also like the red bit through the headlights and the red side badge which is reminiscent of a mk2. not a fan of the steering wheel or the e-brake

This is true, if you pull the e-brake on my A6 it goes into hyper-emergency brake mode!

[driver rider]

Not for me!

I still think the mk5 GTI has to be the nicest looking golf yet  

I couldn't agree with you more. The mk5 is a gorgeous shape. I went to the paris motorshow and really I was dissapointed with the mk7.

[SL03 JOE]

Yeah I do like look of the MK7, also like the idea of having an ally roof. But surely it would dent easy?

Does anyone have any thoughts/previous knowledge on the tuning potential of this motor?

....It's too soon to tell - The Mk7 GTI isn't available in the UK yet. To begin with it will depend on the ECU encryption etc which Volkswagen have used, or will that be the same?

[the bruce]

We still don't know the hardware differences between  (Mk.VII) GTI and S3 (8V).

I'm afraid that the GTI will get a smaller turbo charger than R and S3.
Remember it has been this way in the past. And 70/80 HP is lots of a difference
in power. I don't think VW will spend the GTI the same S3 engine.

[andrewparker]

Any idea on cost?
