Promo video error appears to show next Golf

The next Volkswagen Golf has apparently been revealed by accident during a company promo video.

Halfway into a film for the Frankfurt show L1 concept car, what appears to be a full-size mock-up of a future Golf can be seen in the background.

The car has narrower headlights and a more sculpted snout, similar to the Scirocco, and has pronounced wheel arches, possibly suggesting a wider track.

If the pics are to be believed, the car will be an evolutionary step forward instead of a giant leap, building on the latest model.

According to reports, the scene didn’t last long in the video, quickly being erased from the official video.
