2010 volkswagen golf gtd main630 0327 350x200 VW adds GTD diesel sports hatch to Golf range

Late last year, reports emerged claiming Volkswagen was working on three separate sports-oriented versions of the popular Golf hatchback. The first of these we’ve already seen in the form of the recently launched GTI, and now the second star of the trio, the GTD oil-burner, has been revealed ahead of its debut at the Leipzig Motor Show tomorrow.

The GTD features a 2.0L turbodiesel engine with 170hp (127kW) and 258lb-ft (350Nm) of torque. This engine will fully comply with tough Euro 5 emissions standards, yet still accelerate the car from 0-100km/h in 8.1 seconds when equipped with VW’s six-speed DSG (a six-speed manual is also available).
