Volkswagen Golf GTD: What is it? V W's hottest diesel Golf Verdict Pricey, but mightily talented

摘要

IT'S ALWAYS AN appealing prospect when a manufacturer gives a five-star car more power and fizz. The VW Golf GTD uses a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 181bhp and 280lb ft of torque, which gives it a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds. However, it also emits just 109g/km of CO_2 in three-door manual guise. For all its initial promise, though, the Golf GTD has much to prove. At ￡25,285 it's far from cheap-thereat Leon TDIFR gives you the same engine for ￡22,075.
