It mastered a full lap on the Nordschleife in 07:49.21 when competing against 306 hp Honda Civic Type R, the 425 hp BMW M4 and the 707 hp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The impressive feat was achieved courtesy of the re-tuned 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder pushing out 306 hp and 380 Nm of peak torque at between 1,700 and 5,300 rpm. It was 30 kg lighter over the regular GTI Clubsport and had the rear-seat bench removed. A smaller battery, aluminum subframe and brake covers were added alongside fitting a six-speed manual gearbox.
