Thirty two years, five generations and 1.7 million sales after that car established the breed, the sixth generation of the GTI has been unveiled in concept form ahead of its public debut next month at the Paris Motor Show. The core attributes of the original GTI – sharp dynamics, style and practicality – remain in the new GTI concept. Yet the new car uses the latest advances in drivetrain and chassis technology

Hot on the heels of the recent news on the MKVI Golf being unveiled by Volkswagen , it seems the test engineers in the USA have got their hands on what could be a 'test mule' Golf MK6 GTI. Evident from the, albeit heavily disguised styling, we can see larger front air intakes and removal of the fog lamps to increase air flow to the lower engine, gearbox and braking systems. Also evident is use of the now trademark honey comb grill styling, replacing the slightly MK4 esque horizontal grill

Hot on the heels of the news regarding VW UK removing the Golf GTI Edition 30 from its model line up, comes the announcement that UK Dealers will now be getting the Golf GTI Pirelli edition. Although the timing appears to be a touch rushed this is welcome news to those who would have missed the higher output GTI engine from the UK GTI range. Fitted with the same 230 PS 2.0 T FSI engine from the Edition 30, with options for the 6 speed DSG and existing manual transmissions, the Pirelli branded model

Owners complaints, raised on uk-mkvs and other forums, over conflicting information gvien by VW over this problem do seem to have

Tuning industry moguls, HGP Turbo are at it again. This time working on shoe horning the Touareg R36 engine into the MK5 Golf chassis. Creating not only the first R36 application to be fitted into the MK5, but also adding two turbos which raise output to a mind blowing 600PS. Performance, of course, is also equally astounding. At a recent AutoBild / Nardo High speed event the R36 equipped Golf MK5 managed to hit 0-62 in just 3.8 seconds, then going on to hit 204 MPH. This has surely to be a record
