The sixth generation GTI doesn't pull any punches. It packs them. A sophisticated balance of undiluted power and technological advancement, its crisp, decisive lines and sportier-than-ever styling only hint at the unprecedented performance that lies within.

The newly designed front end gives the GTI a distinctive look which is underlined by red trim strips and the characteristic honeycomb grille. The eye-catching air intake grille also has a honeycomb structure and the sporty bumpers put the finishing touches to the thoroughly impressive appearance.
