Hello everyone. Did any of you buy Autocar last week?
They are testing the very latest Gof GTI. If so, can you please provide the acceleration figures?
I was too busy, and I missed out. 😂
Best regards from Flt158.

It’s through the gears performance is blistering. 30-70mph in 3.7sec, which generally points to a theoretical perfect traction 0-60mph run time in ICE vehicles, obviously unavailable to an FWD car.

Well done, I also like the fact that VW seems to use similar(ish) cars to the ones we can buy

New FWD record at Hockenheim GP. We don’t know the actual time yet but he says it’s faster then the Megane RS Trophy R (1:59.2)
