The 2021 Mk8 Volkswagen Golf R packs a serious punch. Its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot puts out 316bhp, and the chassis is more playful than ever - a torque-vectoring rear differential can send up to 100% of drive to the outside rear wheel, and there's even a Drift Mode. On paper, then, it should be the most potent hot hatch from the VW Group around a track, but the brand new Golf GTI Clubsport is here to cause an upset. With a 20bhp deficit and front-wheel drive, can the Clubsport overthrow the R around Llandow Circuit? And how does the 296bhp Cupra Leon fare, which undercuts both VWs on price? Steve Sutcliffe is at the helm to find out in this review.
