This Is the Most Powerful Volkswagen GTI Ever

Already the fastest Volkswagen around the Nürburgring, the Golf GTI Edition 50 is now also the most potent car from Wolfsburg to wear the Grand Touring Injection badge. It remains front-wheel drive, but now packs nearly as much power as the all-wheel-drive Golf R. This special version takes the GTI formula beyond 300 horsepower for the first time, surpassing the 296-hp Clubsport. Speaking of forbidden fruits, VW tells us its new hardcore version isn't coming stateside either.
