The VW Golf R is one of the best hot hatches money can buy. It handles brilliantly yet rewards the driver just with the right degree of playfulness. It looks sporty yet is elegant in its design without being over the top.
We know that the MkVI Golf chassis is capable of handling more power than what Volkswagen engineers have endowed it with. Here is a fine example of what you can do to your R.
