As with all Volkswagen 'R' products it is presented in their 'Racing' Blue seen on the Golf R32 and GT24 race car. Visually, the car is similar to the GT24 with deeper front
As its VW Group month, I thought I’d show off a new Supermini hot hatch which has just been announced by SEAT, one of the divisions within VW Group.

Press day at the Geneva Motor Show does not start until Tuesday, but some cool new cars are being announced ahead of this. The new Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 Super Veloce (we will call it SV from here on in!) is one such car. The 'SV' is faster, lighter and more powerful than the standard LP640 with power output increased to 670bhp. Top
The European Civic Hatchback is a popular car on Speedhunters, so this should attract some interest. Its the new Mugen Civic Hatchback concept. However, its currently just a styling exercise.
