The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/golf gtd/) has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/geneva motor show/). Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/golf/) in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/03/05/2014-volkswagen-golf-gtd-geneva-2013/#continued) for more details.
