from Autocar:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/new-volkswagen-golf-gti-revealed



to be launched at Geneva next week: "Two versions of the car will be offered: a 217bhp standard car and a 227bhp Performance Package version, a first for the Golf GTI. A turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine with 258lb ft is used in both cars."

I humbly submit: "The final specification of the production car has now been confirmed ahead of its Geneva motor show launch next week, and the hot hatch is nearly identical to the ?concept? version shown last autumn."

so Car showed the "concept" and Autocar announces the real thing and its launch  :P  >:D

Why have a separate sub model for only 10hp difference? Manual back as std and dsg optional, should keep some happy.
