For some drivers, the modern mainstream performance vehicles don’t have the same spirit as their predecessors. Others, however, see today’s models as more powerful, faster, and more agile machines. Regardless of what your opinion is though, we all have to admit that shared platforms in the automotive industry opened the way for more vehicles to get performance versions.
One very good example is the Volkswagen Tiguan R, which shares its underpinnings and mechanicals with the Golf R. The two go-fast cars from Wolfsburg meet in a new drag race, which should help those of you looking for a sporty VW decide which body style better suits them.
