VW is the King of the Ring

Nürburgring's infamous Nordschleife has once again removed its speed liimts, and it was only a matter of time before the different automakers would attempt to set new speed records. And Volkswagen has done exactly that, recording the fastest front-wheel-drive with the all-new Golf GTI Clubsport S.

                                                

The all-new Golf GTI Clubsport S puts out about 306 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The weight in the Clubsport S weighs in under 3,000 pounds and does 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds. It comes with a standard adaptive suspension. Volkswagen will only produce just 400 these cars, with 100 staying in Germany.

VW's 7:49.21 lap time positively decimates the record of 7:50.63 set by a preproduction 2015 Honda Civic Type R, which itself bested the previous record of 7:54.36, held by the Renault Mégane RS.
