Volkswagen AG (Xetra:VW), a Germany-based automaker, is considering the production a separate, lightweight, limited-edition version of the Mark VII-based GTI.
The vehicle would weigh much less than the regular car, perhaps by as much as 440lbs. It would feature an aluminium front bulkhead, windscreen hoop, and floor panels, along with a carbon fibre roof and hood. It would be equipped with a 222bhp 2.0-litre, inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
The model is likely to be launched in 2014 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Golf name.
