Replacing something like the Volkswagen Golf R is surely an unenviable task. Even after five years on sale, the current R is an outrageously competitive hot hatch that the likes of Mercedes-AMG and BMW M are only just catching up with. It"s the task that lies at the door of Jost Capito, though, but one his vast experience of motorsports and performance car development ought to complement well. "The Golf GTI is a tiger," he therefore somewhat unexpectedly tells TG, "whereas the Golf R is a black panther. More subtle, something you find easier to approach and want to get close to."
