HERE'S yet another variation to the GTI theme: the Golf GTI Pirelli. Unlike the W12 GTI, this Pirelli will be available in Europe some time in October.

The key features of the car are 18-inch Pirelli light alloy wheels shod with P Zero tyres. It has seats with the tread pattern of the new P Zero and a 230hp direct-injection turbo engine.

The car sprints from zero to 100kmh in 6.6 seconds and is capable of 245kmh.
