 Volkswagen announced a few changes in its Golf range as its set to replace the existing Sport and GT trim levels with a single all-new model, the Golf GT Sport. As you can see in the picture, visual changes are restricted up front, and specifically to the pitch-black grille section along with the darkened headlights insert which help forge a visual link with the sporty Golf GTI and R32 variants. The new GT Sport trim (3d & 5d) can be combined with the 1.4-litre TSI petrol and 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, both available in 140 Hp and 170 Hp outputs. Equipment-wise, a leather-trimmed 3-spoke steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake are fitted along with front sports seats, automatic light sensing headlights and rain sensing windscreen wipers. This is in addition to the 17-inch multi-spoke alloys fitted with 225/45 R17 tires, climatic a/c, a CD stereo system with eight speakers and electric windows. Six airbags, ABS and Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) round off the standard equipment list. Sales are expected to start in Europe later in the summer. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

It makes sense, I always wondered why there where both sport and GT trims! I wonder though why they don't call it the driver seeing as that's what they used to call the GTI look a like! |

I think VW shoud either create a different front bumper for the GT Sport or create a new bumper for the GTi because i think the GTi has lost its once unique identity among the vast Golf range. Please VW do not over use the GTi's front end styling. |

In these latest pictures, it looks like it has the R32 grill and some of the GTI bodykit! I hope it doesn't take the R32s exclusiveness away from it! |
