The "hot" hatchback managed to conquer the "Nordschleife" in 7 minutes 49.17 seconds, improving its previous result by almost two seconds. On the final straight, the Golf reached a speed of 247 km/h.
Under the hood of the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S is a two-liter turbocharged engine producing 310 horsepower. To lighten the car, a roll cage was installed instead of the rear seats, and a smaller battery was fitted. In addition, the suspension was specially calibrated taking into account the characteristics of the Nürburgring track.
