And I guess my S3 as well. The new front wheel drive Cupra:

Interestingly the GTI with PP was faster than the R as well.
Look out all us standard S car drivers if a Cupra tries it on.

Very true. They've done a bloody good job with the Cupra though performance wise. As a package I doubt it is as good but still a good job.

GTI PP manual 1:15.06, Golf R 1:14.80. However I agree a like-for-like GTI PP with the DSG box would have probably pipped the R.
Wonder what the 205 would do!

I was just quoting the chap at the end of the video when he said the GTI PP was quicker.
