"Approach the Arteon as a car that will drive as aggressively as it looks and you"ll be disappointed." Words uttered by, err, us when we drove VW"s swoopily styled saloon last year. But that was a turbodiesel version, and the Arteon you see here is a freshly revealed petrol with almost 270bhp and a 0-62mph time that trumps the Golf GTI"s. We suspect it"s not going to suddenly handle like a cut-price E63 AMG, but VW"s sentiment is still very much welcome. The Arteon 2.0 TSI possesses 268bhp and 258lb ft, yielding its 5.6sec 0-62mph time and a limited 155mph top speed. A proper autobahn express, then.
