This is the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR. It"s VW"s headline act for the Worthersee show, but rather than being an unrealistic, cartoonish concept, it"s a car we"ll actually be able to buy. If you"re gutted you missed out on the wonderful old Golf GTI Clubsport S, though, this is something a bit different. It"s got a bit less power, for starters, while it only comes with a paddleshift gearbox. That"s because it"s inspired by the Golf TCR touring car, so it"s all been prepped for being quick on track. It takes the regular Golf GTI"s 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, and adds about 45bhp, taking its output to 286bhp. No acceleration figures have been announced yet, but it should take a healthy chunk out of its base car"s 6.2sec 0-62mph time.
