GTI online

23 August 2004: Would-be customers in Britain can now order the new Golf GTI via a dedicated new website, months before its debut.

The car makes its public debut at the Paris Motor Show.

A turbocharged 200 PS 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine is available from launch, and a six-speed manual transmission is provided as standard, while Volkswagen’s DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) will also be available.
