Tuner, APS, has a power boosting upgrade for the Golf GTI that will take the iconic hot-hatch up to 250bhp.

APS, based in Brackley, Northamptonshire in the U.K, calls the performance boost "Stage One", perhaps hinting at higher power levels to come. The standard VW Golf GTI's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine comes with 210bhp at 5,300rpm and 280Nm at 1,700rpm - but APS takes those number up to 250bhp at 5,800rpm, and 395Nm at 2,650 rpm.

That makes the Stage One GTI go from 0 to 100km/h in 6.2 seconds, a substantial 0.7 seconds quicker than the factory version. Top speed also get a bump up to 250 km/h, from the production 240 km/h.

The price for APS's Stage One electronic control unit tuning is £599.
