Britain??™s Volkswagen Racing Cup will be the stage for a motorsport world debut this season when a Golf GT equipped with the pioneering TSI supercharged and turbocharged engine takes to the track.

In road-going form the Golf GT??™s 1.4-litre, 16-valve engine produces 170 PS but the engineers at Volkswagen Racing UK, with the help of their technology partners at Superchips, Milltek Sport and Turbo Dynamics, have already boosted this to 230 PS and believe there is further power to come.

The Golf GT TSI is scheduled to make its maiden appearance in the Hankook-backed championship??™s opening rounds at Oulton Park in Cheshire on Easter Monday(April 9). It will be driven at Oulton by freelance motoring journalist, Nick Trott.
