Watch VW Golf GTI Performance Do 62 Miles In Only 26 Minutes
If you want to buy a brand new Volkswagen Golf GTI and happen to live in Europe, your only choice as of September this year is the more powerful Golf GTI Performance. That鈥檚 far from being a bad thing as it is still one of the coolest hot hatches on the market today, even if it鈥檚 going to be phased out relatively soon. But just being cool is not enough in today鈥檚 world of high-tech performance hatches where 245 horsepower (180 kilowatts) is no longer considered a serious number. You have to offer a fast car that鈥檚 also capable of maintaining a high speed for a significant amount of time. How about driving almost half an hour at full throttle on the German Autobahn? That鈥檚 what the folks over at Cars on Autobahn YouTube channel did behind the wheel of a Golf GTI Performance. A total of 26 minutes always floating around the car鈥檚 top speed on two unrestricted sections of the country鈥檚 highway. According to the video description, that鈥檚 a distance of about 62 miles (100 kilometers), which, if we are doing the math correctly, corresponds to an average speed of more than 124 mph (200 kph). According to the official information from Volkswagen, the Golf GTI Performance goes from a standstill to 62 mph (100 kph) in just 6.2 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of electronically governed 154 mph (248 kph). That鈥檚 the official figure for the models equipped with an automatic transmission, but it鈥檚 clear from the video that the top speed is actually a bit higher - approximately 157 mph (253 kph) on seventh gear. At the vehicle鈥檚 heart is a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged gas engine that鈥檚 good for 245 hp (180 kW) and 273 pound-feet (370 Newton-meters). That鈥檚 up by 15 hp (11 kW) and 15 lb-ft (20 Nm) compared to the pre-facelift GTI Performance models.

As the first model to wear the Gazoo Racing badge, the GRMN Yaris is a limited-edition taste of what Toyota has planned for its fledgling performance brand. The initials MN stand, rather optimistically, for Masters of the Nurburgring, the legendary German racetrack where the world鈥檚 fastest production cars compete for lap-time bragging rights. This supercharged, rally-inspired hot hatch was launched in Europe back in 2017 as a forerunner to the resurrected Supra. 1 million hybrid hypercar based on its Le Mans-winning race car. The three cars are undoubtedly diverse, but they share a common thread: Toyota鈥檚 determination to build exciting cars. The GRMN Yaris is powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine fitted with a Lotus-fettled supercharger. There are bigger brakes, wider tyres, beefed-up suspension and other welcome touches. Visually, you also get a rear spoiler, centre-exit sports exhaust and black BBS alloy wheels set off by white paint and distinctive red and black calipers. It鈥檚 a bit of a mixed bag.
