As fas as I know and searhing exprience a MKV GTI's 0-60 Mp/h (0-100 Km/H) time is

Manual Trans: 7.2 sec
DSG: 6.8 sec
DSG with 18 inch whells : 6.7 sec

Watch this it reached to 60 Mp/h (100 KM/h) in 6 secondsss!!!! Awesome!!!

Is this GTI modified? Which modifications did they do? Engine to 250 HP ???

Could have probably even done it a bit faster if he shifted a bit earlier.

thats a european model and perhaps the euro model is slightly quicker than what we have here in america, not really sure if there is a difference though...

they spotted a couple tenths on the clock. the clutch drops before the timer starts. hard to verify without more info about the car though. slicks maybe?

lucky owner has launch control....damn them!

 

[GTI2007]

The North American 2007 MY GTI will have launch control for the GTI with a DSG gearbox

I knew this prior to purchasing my '06. I sure wasn't going to wait around until 07 to get one. Maybe someone will develop an add on kit for us without them.

 

[bj1888]

wouldn't it just be a software thing?

Not sure but I know there is a button involved somewhere in the process.

i couldn't really see anything but what are the mods that they did?

 

[alexjhill]

bit of a fake i think... not really a real time is it - not saying i don't belive i think these cars are able to do 5.5 seconds or less with the right mods + a different turbo easy! but that..... i'd wanna see a real time on a proper speed track.

 

[GTI2007]

I know guys who accelerate their stock 6 speed manual GTI's from 0-60 MPH in 6 seconds flat.

 

[blackgti06]

i dont think so 6 flat. The car is said to do 7.2 or even 7 flat but a whole second faster. not possible unless i see a vid

Can you send me the website on where you got it from.

 

[10bv01]

you've got to keep in mind that car and driver is using some of the worlds best drivers to test their cars, most of the numbers you see are unrealistic under normal circumstances for normal drivers.

EDIT

And i think that car and driver used the pre-production model which included launch control.

 

[blackgti06]

True but the car is fast and i am planning to make it even faster. >

Can you send me the website on where you got it from.

You can find it here

 

[blackgti06]

Thanks only 0.4 sec behind the R32 2006 in the 1/4 mile. wow

probly no difference, but the quality of fuel on the other side of the atlantic is known to be better, therefore producing more power.
