Not a review, but a nice walk around of a carbon grey GTD!

I wonder why that GTD has bright red calipers?

The car wants to be a GTI!  :lipsrsealed:

Ummm


What about a high performance model to rival the Ford Focus ST?

It’s on the cards – Seat top brass are considering a hot Leon ST Cupra model as an alternative to the Focus ST Estate, which has the circa-£25k hot estate market all to itself. The hot Seat would be the closest thing to a VW Golf GTI wagon, using a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder mustering around 220bhp. With VW insiders confirming that a Golf GTD Estate is being developed, the Leon ST Cupra could go on sale without stepping on the Golf GTD Estate’s toes. If the Leon ST Cupra does make the business case, you’ll see it sometime later in 2014.

Seems a bit odd to call it a Cupra and only give it 220PS when 261PS has been the recent standard. The extra PS over a GTI is probably the biggest justification to buy a Cupra rather than a GTI (the price  difference isn't that big and better residuals on the GTI make the price difference pretty much redundant).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

There's plenty of GTD's in the UK now, albeit mostly at dealers as demos, so I'm surprised that there hasn't been any UK road test / comparison test of the GTD yet. The only ones I've seen are back from the original Euro launch in June. Anyone else seen anything yet?
