# Too excessive and complicated for a hot hatch
# Ceramic brakes, first for a hatchback segment, are available for an extra €4,500.-
# Nevertheless, it is the most powerful hot hatch in the world with 270 kW / 362 bhp
# Until the arrival of Volkswagen Golf R400 next year, that is.
Man! I would struggle to justify ceramic brakes on a Porsche or a Ferrari; why the hell would I get them on an Audi Golf?
Wow, is this truly just a badge engineered Golf R?
That's a bit of a ripoff then.

No, it's running the 5-cyl engine for one thing. The S3 is closer to the Golf R.
I find the ceramic brakes actually rather cheap. Don't they usually cost as much as a Dacia?
There is a catch. ;)
You will only get front rotors.
:D
Ah, [I]Expensive Volkswagen[/I] being as cheeky as ever...
