We find ourselves in the point of view of the driver as he basically puts the thing on its sidewalls. The thing is, it’s a Golf R. So even at the Nürburgring, even when it’s getting its head kicked in, it takes it all in its stride. The speeds it takes some of the turns are simply mind-boggling, as we see the driver scrabble for bite in the fronts. We’re rather fond of that new high-performance R display, too. What we’re not so sure of, is the sound. Is there a bit of synthesised six-cylinder in there? Very off-putting. What a great car all the same.
