Golf R -v- Golf GTI

[AdamD]

Given that the the Sirocco R (basically an Ed35 with different styling) can lap some race tracks quicker than a Golf R, this is not strictly true - the sheer added weight and inertia of the AWD does slow the acceleration down under the right circumstances.

The 'Roc boys would have a fit if they read that! Yes, the Scirocco is built on a modified PQ35 platform just like the Mk6, but the wheelbase and track are different, centre of gravity is significantly lower, and there are a ton of other differences beyond the basic bodyshell that means you can't really compare them too closely and certainly can't call them equal. But they certainly do share many parts, yes - although I'd hazard a guess the Golf GTI and R share a lot more.
