We have just had the all-new Golf VI GTi released in South Africa, and drivers are already getting to grips with the 200+ horsepower beast and honing their driving skills according. These buggers, have certainly taken their GTi skills to another level with some innovative parallel parking techniques. Please don’t try this at home…

Dubbed Golf GTI Street, the modified hot hatch features numerous mechanical and styling upgrades including a more powerful version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that has been tweaked to deliver an output of 301 horsepower (225kW), up from the standard 2.0 TSI’s 210 horsepower (155kW). The four-pot is hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission.

The French have always been proud of their cultural identity, smart, stylish, sometimes temperamental and more than sometimes rude in a fashion that is uniquely Gallic.
