GENTLEMEN it’s official, the Golf 8 GTI is here, hold on tight to your relationships or else you might end up single.
Looking under the hood of the new Golf GTI, it shows that it will employ a 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 180 kW and 370 Nm.
To transfer all the power, it will come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, but buyers will have the option to buy the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox that will make the snap, crackle and pop sound.
We all know that Mzansi is obsessed with the VRRR PHA sound, meaning the majority of South African buyers will opt for the dual-clutch gearbox.
Unlike its predecessor, the Golf 8 GTI will utilise an 8-inch infotainment screen and a 10-inch driver display as standard.
