The VW Golf GTI Clubsport S Just Went Around The 'Ring Even Damn Faster
VW has just sliced two seconds off its existing Clubsport S laptime, breaking its own front-wheel drive Nurburgring record in the process
As if pinching the Honda Civic Type R’s front-wheel drive Nurburgring lap record wasn’t enough, VW has just improved its personal best with the Clubsport S. The already very impressive 07min 49.21sec lap has been improved by just over two seconds with the 306bhp, two-seater lightweight special clocking a 07min 47.19sec effort.
Your move, Honda…

Yes, it is an awesome, limited edition car. But I’d rather buy a Golf R for about the same money
Club’ owners vs lawn mower owners. No suprise that club’ owners are faster, it’s all about the money :p
What a wonderfully well setup car. You can see it rotating in the “S es”. I’m impressed!

Honda be like
Meanwhile, BMW M2 be like…
All you guys sitting there waiting for Honda to beat that time. And I’m just sitting here waiting for the new RenaultSport Megane.
Hopefully the new Civic Type R will obliterate the Clubsport!
7 mins 47….that’s exactly a whole minute behind the Pagani Zonda R! Still though, is the club sport really worth it over a GTI performance pack?
