If only all special editions had more bhp
The Golf VI isn’t far away but that doesn’t mean VW can’t just in a few special editions before number V disappears. But this isn’t your usual few extras and a paint job special edition, this one gets more power.
It’s the GTI 240 and there are no points for guessing what the name means – power of the Edition 30 has been boosted by 10bhp to 240. Unfortunately the rest is standard Golf but it does come with new standard features as the bi-xenon headlamps, Pioneer touch screen navigation system as well as a new sound system.
The bad news is the car will only be available in Holland and just 300 are being produced. The GTI 240 is set to retail for €31 995, quite a bit cheaper than a GTI Edition 30 at €35 050.
