Several years ago, a few lucky drivers got their mitts on the 6-cylinder VW Golf R32. Though it was big on power and handled extremely well, it was not nearly as tossable as the much-praised GTI.

Fast forward to 2012, enter the VW Gulf R20. Otherwise known in Europe as the Golf R, it will prove to be the most powerful VW ever built.

Coming stock with a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-banger, official hp and torque numbers have not been released. Expect it to be a tire-shredder, given that the Euro-spec model churns out 267 hp and 260 lb ft of torque.

Your trips to the grocery store will never be the same.
