Automotive passion – even in 2009 it still has something to do with power and performance. At the IAA, however, Volkswagen is demonstrating – in the world premiere of the new Golf R – that fuel consumption values can even be corrected downward in the high-end sports car area. And indeed without even a hint of a compromise in dynamic performance. On the contrary. Traditionally each new R version of this model series bears the title “strongest Golf of all times.” With

All the excitement wasn't expected in 1975 at the Frankfurt Motor Show when a Golf with a few little additions was introduced to the public. It took until 1979 for the steering wheel to be available on the right but, by then, the recipe had been perfected and the seed sown; the GTI was born. Success was unexpected, and since then the UK has always been one of the most important areas for the Golf GTI outside of the German home market.

Hot on the heels of the recent news on the MKVI Golf being unveiled by Volkswagen , it seems the test engineers in the USA have got their hands on what could be a 'test mule' Golf MK6 GTI. Evident from the, albeit heavily disguised styling, we can see larger front air intakes and removal of the fog lamps to increase air flow to the lower engine, gearbox and braking systems. Also evident is use of the now trademark honey comb grill styling, replacing the slightly MK4 esque horizontal grill
