Development of the MK5 GTI - Is there a book?
« on: November 27, 2012, 07:19:39 am »

I wondered if there is a detailed technical book on the development of the Mk5 GTi?

If not, does anyone know if any of the magazines did something like a colour supplement on it around launch.

It would be really useful to learn more about how my car is put together, and fascinating from a development perspective.

Thanks,

Ian.

IIRC VW Driver magazine did something like that, probably not in the detail your after though  :smiley:
