Fast Golf anoraks: have your spotters" guides at the ready. Beyond the ranks of Golf GTI, Golf R and Golf Clubsport, you"ve got a new version to learn. This is the VW Golf GTI TCR. That"s TCR as in Touring Car Racing, not long-dead Scalextric Rival Total Control Racing. See, this new super-Golf is intended to be the road-going version of the off-the-shelf GTI TCR touring car. VW will sell you the stripped out, slicks-shot, wings-and-tings version for 95k, and off you trot to swap paint with the Seat Leon and Peugeot 308 TCR racers. Of course, it"s not road-legal, and since the VW Clubsport S sold out, the Germans have had an extreme GTI-sized hole in the streetable fast Golf family. At the Worthersee festival of Volkswagen Group fanboyism, that hole gets plugged.
