New versions of the Golf have made its debut: The GT, which will go on sale at the end of the year (Europe), features Volkswagen's new Twincharger technology - a combined turbocharger/supercharger system - with its four-cylinder 1.4 direct-injection petrol engine to deliver 170bhp. Though the "TSI" engine's small, it can deliver acceleration 0-60mph in just 7.9 seconds.The GTs will, says VW, "be launched with their own individual styling and equipment", which means a sort of junior-GTI or GTI-lookalike specification.
