Not a bad looking car but only 207hp

Volkswagen will be revealing the next-generation version of the Golf GTI, one of the most acclaimed hot hatches on the market, at next week’s Paris Motor Show but some images of the car have already leaked online. As expected, its styling remains similar to the previous model and is differentiated mostly by a new front bumper design.

The Mark VI Golf platform is the basis for the GTI update and, like its more mundane companions, the GTI is an evolutionary step forward, not overly different to its predecessor. Reports suggest the new car will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine good for 207hp (155kW).

That would mean the new GTI gains a bit (10hp/7kw) over the old model while still leaving enough room for the even more potent replacement for the R32. The new GTI is expected to sport a new engine featuring Audi-developed variable valve timing, which will provide the boost in power while also reducing fuel consumption.

Stopping power is expected to be greatly improved with the addition of large brakes, potentially from famed brake company Brembo. Other exterior appointments are expected to include standard 18in alloy wheels and LED daytime running lights.

Does anyone know how much it will be worth here and when would it be for sale?
