These hot hatchbacks might wear Golf GTI badges, but they have changed a bit since they left the factory...
Enter today's contenders: a mildly tuned Mk5 from 2005 and a Mk2 from 1991... with a 3.2L V6 engine from an Audi TT. Normally newer generations outperform the old, but with this level of modification, it won't be an easy one to predict... Which do you think will get around the Top Gear test track quickest in the hand of The Stig? Cast your votes now 👇

i knew something was up not only does the v6 mk2 make it power noticeably faster but also makes 40 more bhp, with an instant trottle no turbo lag longer power band and it was lighter. it just doesn't make sense how the mk5 won especially on track makes it even more sus.
