The Volkswagen Golf GTI was the inventor of the hot hatch segment, even though the original GTI only had 115 hp. Fast-forward to 2017 and we find the Golf R, a true contender in the hot hatch category. While the first ever Golf R had a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter V6 engine, the 2017 R has a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline unit with almost 300 hp under the hood. It is mated either with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch).
