And is really fast...

0-100 km/h: 3,9 sec.
max: 302 km/h


Some technical terms....


Porsche Cayenne Brakes (swimming so less fading)
KW Gewinde-Fahrwerk (translater says: thread load work - is that right?)


and they have planned a 528HP-Version.. that`s great performance isn`t it in a golf?

I think KW Gewinde is easy to understand for all, but the word you are looking for is perhaps 'coilover'. Also is common to say the brakes are 'floating' rather than swimming, but of course we all understand what you meant :)

Thank you for the scan; I am not good at german but through years reading your car mags, I usually understand the articles.

Sport Auto have the best tests of any car mag, anywhere :thumb:

HGP is in Europe. The "sister" company in North America (Canada) is HPA. I put "sister" in quotes because they are separate companies but do work together. A recent article in Motor Trend Magazine had a writeup on the HPA modified version of the VW North American R32 Golf. The car plus the modifications come in 20k usd less than an RS6 or M5. The stage II modified HPA R32 can blow the doors off all but the most highly modified cars. Check out HPA's website.
