How is the curb weight calculated? I was pretty sure the MK7 is lighter than the MK6 but in fastestlaps it shows the opposite.

Just to clarify, the Nürburgring Nordschleife time is for a performance pack equipped GTI (bigger brakes, 10hp increase, mechanical limited slip differential). VW previously stated that this pack gained the car 7 seconds on the Nordschleife over the standard MkVII GTI, so by that I'd suggest the standard car completes a lap somewhere around 8.36. I don't have an official source for this 7 seconds however so please don't treat it officially.

Want to share my weird experience on the highway. Have a Seat Leon 2.0 TSI FR 211 model 2012 stock. Had an acceleration test with a Golf GTI VII, don't know if it was 217 or 227 hp Performance. Started with tachometer speed 140 until approx. 200 km/h. Strangely enough my Seat accelerated way better, we tried two times. Have been using high octane fuel 99+, don't know if it was the reason, but the Golf should accelerate better with the new engine. From 210-240 km/h it was quite even. Either way a weird experience because I thought I have no chance against the Golf. Good weather conditions + 18 C, sunny. You have any ideas (speculations) why my Leon was way faster?

They should test the Aventador again, with a better driver, too. I still wonder how he could drive it so "slow" around the ring...

That's one gruesome thing! High-end supercars performance. But I do know even more extreme Golf!

What about the HGP Golf R36 BiTurbo?
I know it is a tuner car but the dates are more than impressive:

0-100: 3 seconds
0-200: 8.9 seconds
0-300: 22 seconds
Topspeed: 345 km/h

Damn, that's Golf-based car in a supercar league! I bet this could be a very serious rival for the Vette C7! :D
This is one huge technical achievement by Volkswagen. Unfortunately, I know this DV GTI will never see the green light for the production, but I do believe key elements from this car will be used in future VW Group performance models, including its amazing engine. And I didn't even begin with the design, which is not a less important factor of this concept.
I think it's one stunning looking machine! These lines are so unique and unusual for the VolksWagen, extreme aggression, but in the same time keep traditional lines of its predecessors. The peak of Volkswagen's design.
Here you got the VolksWagen that can eat SuperWagens. Just look at this evil smiling face!
Ha-ha :D
