Love the whole car, especially the front end, looks aggresive but not over the top.

No torque steer lah, it's got a good ATB LSD. Have you driven one of the new GTis? Just try it, you won't look back!

Wannabes??? This GTI should scare any "normal" Evo or STi. A Litchfield Type-25 would be a different story tho.

For those unfamiliar with the SEMA, that's the US equivalent of the Japan Salon. It's a stage for tuners and manufacturers alike to show off their skills. I'm sure one of VW's tuners will try to work things out with Derek to supply the tuning bits for "hungry" GTI owners.

This is a super-car slayer! Bet our British counterparts would get all excited about it. I wonder if it is going to production or it is already confirmed so.

Looking at the front profile, I feel like watching Cars (the animeted movie). Heheh. But this black hatch with thin red line really do the trick. It gives the impression that it is something that should be reckon with.

375 horses? On 2 front wheels? Phew! How do you handle that? Strap yourself to the steering wheel? Haha. Maybe normal_user was right. Get a 4WD system. Perhaps 4 shoes instead of 2, works far more better.

Whatever it is, this Golf? I like! =)

Agree with normal_user that a 400bhp FF car would be funny to drive. Perhaps, they have sorted out the setting to accomodate the extra power to prevent excessive wheel spin. 4WD should be better.

A 400hp front wheel drive Golf? Sure got a lot of torque steer when pushed hard on corners. They should make it a 4WD, will give Evos & WRX STIs wannabes a run for their buck.
