Have you ever wondered why the Golf is the only Volkswagen model, at least in the US, to wear the sporty GTI and R badge? There's actually a good reason.
In Europe, there have been GTI variants of the Lupo, Polo, Scirocco, and Up. Latin America even got a few GTI models you may not know about—the Gol, Parati, and Pointer. It’s a similar story with R models; the Arteon, Golf Cabrio, Passat, Scirocco, Tiguan, Touareg, and T-Roc all received hotter variants.
