It's turbo 2.0-liter versus naturally aspirated V-8! Today's Golf R has all-wheel drive and a hard-launching dual-clutch automatic — and it's going up against two six-speed manuals: the 4.0-liter M3 and 4.2-liter RS4, along with one rear-drive conventional torque-converter automatic in the Mercedes C63. The Mercedes M156 6.2-liter is a monster, making 443 lb-ft of torque. The famed BMW S65 makes just 295 lb-ft, the same as the Golf R! And the Audi RS4's 4.0-liter FSI engine made 317 lb-ft. Can yesterday's "peak" sport sedans keep up with today's hottest hatch?
