Golf 7 Gti Performance Pack

Visually the shift to the mk7 5 golf has been subtle one to say the least.

Golf 7 gti performance pack. Mk7 5 golf gti performance more power and limited slip diff 242bhp 0 62mph in 6 2sec. Volkswagen is claiming a 0 1 second improvement on the 0 100kph time which doesn t sound like much. In fact you d be forgiven for. Let s recap the volkswagen golf gti highlights.

The engine in the volkswagen golf gti performance pack is a solid piece of engineering and the output is upped to 169 kw with the torque figure of 350 nm remaining the same as the normal gti. Is the gti performance pack good value for money. When the 19 inch wheel upgrade 18s are standard is 965 and the panoramic roof is a 930 extra the performance pack seems good value at 980. We ve already driven the 2017 vw golf gti without the performance pack upgrades fitted and while it delivered the everyday appeal in spades it didn t quite produce in the thrills department.

But there is a bit of a niggle. The heart of the hot hatch is volkswagen s award winning ea888 2 0 litre engine. Some reported that these new wheels are part of the performance pack but in fact these have been available on any golf 7 gti since launch and r 7 650 to go from skinny blade 18 inch to intricate sporty striking 19 inch wheels is a rare option bargain. That s the performance in a nutshell.
