But nowadays, any sort of dynamic hot hatch test centers around the Megane, who’s impressive power and focused chassis are basically unrivaled this side of a Focus RS.Volkswagen is one of the biggest automakers in the world and it hasn’t take its defeat sitting down. With the brand new, seventh-gen Golf, they’ve really upped the ante in the GTI department.According to AutoCar , the new GTI will have a more impressive 260 horsepower to play with. Not only that, but it will come with a “more agile steering behavior” thanks to a new VAQ electronically-controlled front differential, which apparently is 8 seconds faster round the Nurburgring than a conventional mechanical diff.We’re guessing the US market version will have slightly less power due to emissions regulations, but the output will still be on par with expectations.
