The most powerful Volkswagen estate ever made is obviously a nice hook for the manufacturer to hang its latest GTX derivative on, even if the benchmark didn’t offer too much of a challenge. Its foray into W12-powered Phaetons aside, VW doesn’t typically deal in outrageously large outputs and it hasn’t taken too much tinkering to overshadow the 320hp you get in the Mk8 Golf R wagon.
Moreover, VW has declined to divulge a 0-62mph time or a peak torque figure for the GTX - which suggests to us that neither falls particularly far from the saloon’s tree. So while you can expect the new estate to benefit from slightly more neutral handling and all the usual traction advantages afforded by its modified 4Motion controller and XDS+ electronic diff lock, you probably won’t be embarrassing many Golf R drivers - apart from away from the lights up to 30mph, of course.
