One of Volkswagen"s big news stories from the Geneva motor show is the T-Roc R, a small SUV with the same 296bhp, all-wheel-drive mechanicals as a Golf R. "I believe this car drives better than the Golf R," VW"s R division boss, Jost Capito, bullishly tells us. Well of course he would; it"s the newer car. But it still surprised us that he"s so certain of it when you"d naturally expect a heavier, taller car to suffer compromise. "Of course there"s a higher centre of gravity, but I would say that"s the only difference. The rest of the chassis setup you can do exactly the same.
