According to the article in AutoExpress, the car’s platform is entirely new, (known as MQB), the wheelbase is extended, thus giving more opportunities for future Golf Vii compared with the current.

There will probably be many future versions of the Golf, as well as new versions of the Touran, Golf Plus and the Scirocco, which will be assembled on the MQB base. VW promise of the new VW Golf will have a large trunk in comparison with rivals such as Ford Focus and Renault Megane, and more legroom for passengers.

There are already many new engines for the future Golf, and other high-tech systems. We already know that Volkswagen plans to launch a hybrid version of the Golf, transmissions will include DSG, there will be a 4×4 version too. If you look at the pictures you will see a third “beacon” on the front bumper. This will be a new system that will monitor traffic signs and warns drivers about speed limits and other restrictions as well as inadvertently leaving the lane.

Based on information from AutoExpress, the new Golf will be shown for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012. Sales will begin in Europe from autumn next year.

The prototype has aeropackage, a new paint and special engine improvements. As noted, power is estimated at 370 horsepower and torque – 480 Nm. This is achieved by turbo APR Stage III and a sports exhaust system.

Well, since you can’t buy a GTI Reifnitz, then you can contact the tuners of APR (based Alamaba) who would gladly sell you the turbo and exhaust system.

English edition Autoexpress published spy photos of the next VW Golf. British claim to have shot the car during test, indicating that the vehicle was a mule for the upcoming model, with exterior identical to the Golf Mk VI and completely new interior.

“Stalk mule, but when we approached we saw that the interior is different” said by Autoexpress.

As shown in the photos, the new seventh-generation Golf will get a new instruments on the dashboard and a new center console.

Speedometer and tachometer are abandoned circular gauges fuel level and coolant temperature, emphasizing new, integrated as an extension of divisions, respectively, for speed and rpm.

Values ​​will no longer be displayed by an arrow but LED indicators, such innovation aims primarily to save space for larger display between the two major appliance, according to the information.

It becomes clear that the new board will be used in all versions of the Golf Mk VII – hatchback, wagon, convertible and Golf Plus.

As you already know, the new generation Golf will use a platform that will allow integration of different powertrains and systems, including hybrids and those using alternative fuels.

Among the novelties on board the VW Golf Mk VII will be VW Twin Drive system which will combine a diesel engine with a volume of 2.0 liters and 122 hp with electric power of 82 hp. The total system capacity will be 174 hp and the vehicle can run entirely on electricity about 50 miles, say English edition.

The new Golf Cabrio will be available with six engines – four petrol with a capacity of 105 to 210 hp and two turbodiesel with power 105 and 140 hp.

Depending on the version it will have three transmissions – manual five-and six-gear and DSG automatic with seven gears. The size of the trunk with raised roof is 250 liters.

The base price of the new convertible in Germany is €23,625. This is about €4,000 cheaper than the price of the VW Eos and around €6,000 more expensive than the basic version of the standard Golf.

The dramatic version of the Golf has a turbo engine with a volume of 2.5 liters and five-cylinder that is familiar from the Audi TT RS and RS3. The engine has an output of 440 hp and maximum torque of 540 Nm.

Movement is transmitted continuously to all four wheels. Volkswagen’s previous involvement in the race on the Nürburgring with Golf was in 2007, with car power 300 hp. It was a Golf, but only with front-wheel drive. Then the next three years participation was with Scirocco GT24. Currently the company makes final tests of Golf24, which will continue to race across Nürnburburg, which is scheduled from 23 to 26 June.

Well, obviously that’s not enough for some. Here enter the people from MR Car Design.

Package name is MR6R and it includes reprogrammed ECU, sport exhaust system and intercooler. So suddenly the power is 330 hp and torque jumps from 350 Nm to 470 Nm.

The German company did not disclose data on acceleration, but surely it will take less than 5.7 seconds of the factory model. Otherwise the car is also available with 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped with performance tires.

The car will be manufactured at the factory in Osnabruck from spring next year. This was said by the President of the Board of Directors in VW Martin Winterkorn, during a visit to the factory along with the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, David McAllister.

Volkswagen’s factory in Osnabruck was established early this year on the basis of the body studio Karmann, which last year lost their independence because of financial problems and became part of the VW.

Now the enterprise is already preparing for the production of conveyor Cabriolet Golf and workers go through training courses. According to Winterkorn, the manufacture of convertible will generate 1800 new jobs.

Once stopped production of the passenger compartment Chrysler Crossfire, convertible Mercedes-Benz CLK and exposed Audi A4, Karmann studio had to lay off many employees. As a result, in 2009 the company went bankrupt and later was bought by VW.
