Vw Golf GTD making its debut in 2010

Few weeks ago we were reporting the birth of a new brother of the GTI but powered by a diesel engine and it seems we were right: the new Vw Golf GTD will make its debut at this year’s AMI Car Show in Leipzig. The new vehicle will feature the 2.0-liter TDI, capable to develop 170 hp and 350 Nm or torque.

With this amount of power, the vehicle will be able to sprint to 100 km/h in just 8.2 seconds while the top speed will be limited to 220 km/h (with only 20 km/h less than the Volkswagen Golf VI GTI). According to the manufacturer, the fuel consumption will be just 5.9 l/100 km (we don’t know at what speeds and how you should drive to achieve this “record”). The new Golf GTD will make its debut on the market this summer, almost the same period as the Golf VI GTI!
