guys, VW Golf GTI vs Merc W211 200K in a head to head in straight and course? assuming both are stock, who will be the eventual winner? which will handle better? ;D

[Guest kopimonster]

erm...the w211 is the e-class right? assuming its the 2 litre variant, i would say the GTI wins...hands down....better power to weight ratio and much more nimble and handles much better. but having said that, it would not be a fair comparison, one's a hot hatch, the other's a mid-size saloon, different category.

the GTI is a very respectable car wif lotsa mod potential

Volkswagen's new Scirocco

New Golf 6 GTI gets upgraded weaponry!

One of the hottest models of late, the Golf GTI, gets a new look and more power, consumes less petrol, and it even has an electronic limited-slip differential!

01 Oct 2008 Foreign News :: Germany Viewed : 1,730 times

Since the debut of the first and the discontinuation of the fifth generation, more than 1.7 million buyers made the GTI to the world’s bestseller. Now the new GTI is at the ready: at the Paris Motor Show (4th to 19th October 2008) Volkswagen will be demonstrating the design study of the new Golf GTI at its world premiere.

The GTI suspension with a new electronic limited-slip diff (XDS) defines curves and traction in a completely new way. A GTI with a top speed of 240 km/h that with its 155 kW / 210 bhp strong turbocharged engine is even more fun and, on average, only uses 7.5 litres.

The sixth generation Golf GTI will go into series production in the spring of 2009 – as usual with a unique connection between sporty suspension and agile engine. The engine develops already at 1,800 rpm a maximum torque of 280 Newton metres. The sprint from 0 to 60mph is achieved in 6.9 seconds. A stand-off between wind resistance and output occurs only just at 240 km/h.

Lowered by 22 millimetres and equipped with a new sports suspension, the springs, shock absorbers and rear anti-roll bars of the design study have been completely reworked. Furthermore, the optional adaptive chassis control DCC feature will also be available for the future GTI.

"We wanted a purposefully clear GTI design. A car that has power but also style," summarises the Volkswagen AG's chief designer Walter de’Silva. The design study of the sixth generation presented in Paris blends in both style elements of the GTI icons. Details like the typical honeycombed radiator grill and the V-shaped bonnet, stretching over the head lights, contribute to the GTI V. The clean and horizontal structure clearly originates from the GTI I. Because of the styling as well as the underlining horizontal graphic of the front section the Golf GTI design study appears visually wider (1.78 meter), lower (1.47 meter) and more dynamic than any other car in its class.

Was at Vivo City last night and visited the VW roadshow. They had an EOS, Golf, GTi, Beetle on display so thought I itchy backside go look see. Outgoing Golf Mk V 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG going for $79.5k. GTi $120k. 40k premium for a 2 litre engine, sunroof, handling is too freakin huge a gulf for essentially the same platform.

Same day, different Golf

I love the DSG box. Scirocco looks the better bet for styling.

I love the DSG box. Scirocco looks the better bet for styling.

But the price may overkill compare with Gti since both having the same engine and spec :death:

[Guest fruitcakepablohoney]

Anyone knows the price difference?

[Guest Saints]

Anyone knows the price difference?

From PI = GTI should ard 100K and scirocco last I know is 118K

From VGS = silghtly another 8K for GTI, and no news abut scirocco but i believe it wuld a :death:

Latest news from VW is that they're making a GTI-R to replacement R32 ( 3.2 NA 4 motion ) on 2009 :angel1:

[g8crasher]

Last bloody time I've ever come across a GTI-R badge was when Nissan released the bloody Pulsar GTi-R. Ugly ass bonnet.

I guess they are banking on the cult status of the Scirocco and hoping fanboys will pick it up.

[Guest fruitcakepablohoney]

Freakin' nice man! ;D

[Guest bhlimoo]

The Golf GTI in the newspaper today is hot! Stage 1 upgrade and big rims and so on...

[Guest colrc]

PIs better watch out and out do the agent, la. They are getting more competitive! Enhance your service levels, man. Really tempted to switch to VW hothatch. The GTI is like the classic of hothatches.

[Guest kopimonster]

sizzle....sizzle...the mod potential of these cars also immense...only drawback is its FWD (or has this been changed in the latest variant?)

[Guest Quattro]

Yes it is still the FWD, no news of VW heading for Quattro / AWD.
