Looks like VW are starting to get serious about claiming back the Nurburgring fastest hot hatch laptime from Seat for themselves....

Still feeling the need for a stupidly powerful four-wheel drive car with daily practicality but not taken with the reborn Subaru WRX STI or Mercedes A45 AMG? Looks like VW of all people is kicking off a power war among the emergent 'mega hatch' crowd with news of a Golf R 400. There's a clue to the most significant number on the spec sheet in that name - yes, it really is a 400hp, four-wheel drive Golf for those whose pulse can't be sufficiently raised by the 300hp Golf R.

Well now we know what the new RS3's specs are going to be.

Looks pretty nice, better if you can delete the yellow and get some other alloys. :salut: 50k with a few options?

Fastest hatch round the ring should be rwd or fwd, kind of feel that 4wd is cheating a bit and the 300bhp Golf R is about 30k so I can only imagine this is going to be 40k +

40k + for a VW golf :roflmao: fail.

Golf's are so boring though.
