Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk. 7

The Mk. 7 Volkswagen Golf GTI is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged TSI and when in standard trim, it can hit 60 mph from a standstill in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 152 mph. The performance pack, equipped with red "GTI" badges, cuts 0.1 seconds from the sprint and adds 3 more miles per hour resulting from the slight increase of power it has, in which it is 230 PS versus 220 PS. While it is available in either 5-door or 3-door configurations in the U.S. market, certain markets like Mexico only sell 5-door GTIs.
