What is the Volkswagen GTI top speed?

I want a sporty hatchback and a friend told me the Volkswagen GTI has awesome speed and handling. While I’m intrigued, I’m still a bit skeptical. What is the top speed of the Volkswagen GTI?

The
Volkswagen GTI
has a top speed of 155 mph, making it the fastest Volkswagen model currently in production.
Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine offers 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the GTI also boasts a 0-60 mph time of just 5.4 seconds and a quarter-mile of only 14.3 seconds.
Despite its penchant for power, the VW GTI also provides an impressive 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city, making it one of the best power and efficiency combos on the market today.
