Default 2008 Golf R32 - 05-18-2007 , 07:44 PM






As it now stands, the fastest-ever Golf accelerates from 0 to 62 mph
in 6.2 seconds and reaches 155 mph. The four-wheel-drive system's
Haldex clutch distributes the torque progressively and smoothly, with
no steering fight or drivetrain shock

To be fair, it weighs about the same as several Sunbeam Lotuses.

Yeah, but the Maestro Turbo could only do it *once*.
