Priced at 388,000 yuan, the Golf GTI Cabriolet from Volkswagen formally hit the Chinese market last week, with only a limited number of 66 cars available for local customers.

The car is capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 235 km/h. Its electro-hydraulic cloth top takes 9.5 seconds to open, and 11 seconds to close.
