The 7th generation Golf GTI will be out this fall as a 2013 model, and the new look is still under wraps. It will have a different style, but pick up where the Mk6 left off and share some similarities. We know it will sit 1.2 inches lower than the Mk6, have a more aggressive front, have a longer wheel-base, and weigh around 90 pounds lighter. A new limited slip diff will replace the current electrically controlled system (ESC). Power will still come from the 2.0T TSI now producing 220hp and 250lb-ft torque. 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time will improve from 6.9 to 6.7 seconds.

Renderings are based of recent intel (these heavily Mk6 influences is not likely)
