Prominent actor Fahadh Fasil has got his hands on a limited VW Golf GTI recently. The German car marque has announced that it has only allotted 150 units of this distinct car for the Indian market. Needless to mention, only the absolute driving enthusiasts will opt for it. Fahadh is an actor and producer who primarily works in Malayalam movies. In fact, he is among the highest-paid Malayalam actors. That is a testament to his incredible work and popularity. For now, let us take a look at the specifics of his latest acquisition.

VW Golf GTI
The VW Golf GTI has been one of the most popular names in the global automobile industry for decades. The GTI suffix informs us of its incredible driving dynamics and performance credentials. On the inside, it comes with all the latest bells and whistles to pamper the occupants. Some of the main highlights include:

Nevertheless, I am sure that most people won’t buy it for its features, but rather for what lies under that bonnet. It comes with a potent 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol mill which generates a colossal 265 hp and 370 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. This mill pairs with a sole 7-speed DSG (DCT) automatic gearbox. This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of a mind-numbing 5.9 seconds. That is a testament to its performance. Being a hatchback, the ride quality and manoeuvrability are exquisite. It will be interesting to see how fast the 150 units are delivered.
