Volkswagen’s cult-followed GTI hot hatch debuted in its seventh generation today at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

Now that Jost Capito has joined the Volkswagen Motorsport team, the German automaker is working on adding more high-performance models to its lineup.

The last couple days have been a storm of spy photos with the latest to come our way picturing the 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI.

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is destined to hit the marketplace later this year and it’s now believed that the new GTI model will make 260 horsepower.

It’s always a treat to see an automaker roll out a modified version of one of their models. At Wörthersee this year, Volkswagen allowed their younger generation of employees to modify a Golf GTI for everyone to admire at the show. The Golf GTI Reifnitz, as it was named, in homage to where the event takes place, sports 370-hp, an impressive increase from the factory’s 210-hp figure.
