Here's some new video footage from Carscoop of the seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI on test in and around the Nürburgring race track in Germany.

It'll be making its production debut after the regular Golf MK7's world premiere at the 2012 Paris Motor Show later this year. The spy footage suggests that the latest model will continue the Mk5 and Mk6 aesthetics and come with sharper styling details. It will stand out from its lesser family members with a red accent trims, bespoke front and rear ends and alloy wheel designs.

The GTI will be motivated by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder gasoline engine, though there are some reports that claim it will get a 10 to 15 percent boost from 207hp to 220-230hp. In any case, check out the video footage of it below:
