Sporty new Golf GTI revealed

Volkswagen has just released details of the new Golf GTI, ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut.

With 217bhp on offer and a maximum torque figure of a hearty 350Nm, the new GTI can hit 60mph in 6.5 seconds, and goes on to a top speed of 152mph – impressive, but still a fraction slower than the 6.3 seconds and 154mph offered by the Ford Focus ST.
