And now it has finally happened: Volkswagen team proudly presents the Golf GTI TCR Concept: a sporty and agile machine, capable of tackling down numerous road challenges. Let’s find out more, shall we?

The Concept is geared with a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit that produces a total of 290 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque. This massive output is transmitted to the front wheels (as if Volkswagen would dare to change this fact) and is controlled via 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a special limited-slip differential. And as we have told you, the maximum speed is 155mph that can go up to 164 by removing the electronic limiter. In other words, this guy is fast. Beware.
