345 bhp in a front driver? I don’t think so!
345bhp for an anniversary R next year maybe.
The GTI is on borrowed time, there will be a huge shift towards electric even sooner than 2030 and only the R will carry over as it’s never had a fixed format for a power plant IMO.
Go find the early CGI renderings of the Ed40 Clubsports. I don’t think there was ever any intention of giving it 600bhp despite the number plates
