2012 VW Golf VII 3-door GTI prototype spy photos 24.08.2011 / SB-Medien

Sportier styling, upgraded engines

Our spies have snapped a new bacth of pictures of the 2012/2013 Golf and Golf GTI.

Dressed in heavy camouflage, the models have a familiar shape but previous reports have indicated the car will have a steeper windshield, a wider track and a lower roofline. Inside, the cabin is rumored to adopt a new instrument panel that is angled towards the driver for improved usability.

Additional information is limited, but the Golf will ride on the MQB platform and feature a variety of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines. Most notably, the GTI is slated to have an upgraded 2.0-liter TSI that develops 220 hp (164 kW / 223 PS).

Correct me if I wrong, but that wheelbase is really stretched out. They seemed to have pushed the wheels out like a mini/bmw. This thing should be outstanding
