IIRC the last best was a prototype Civic Type R at 1.50.6 something.

Has the ring not been closed for times laps since then?

True. A quick scope on the times (May have missed one) shows megane trophy as the fastest production car time.

But even so it seems they have done what they set out to acheive

I think the tyres are the question.

Megane Trophy on semi slicks, Clusport S on Trackday Cup Tyres....

Golf GTI Clubsport S unveiled at Wörthersee

04 May 2016
Most powerful production Golf GTI packs 310PS engine


GTI fans will get their first look at the Golf GTI Clubsport S at the annual Wörthersee GTI meet today (Wednesday 4 May).

This is following the announcement that the Golf GTI Clubsport S has set a Nurburgring record for the fastest lap time in a front-wheel-drive production car in a time of 7:49:21.

With only 150 to be built for the UK, the Clubsport S will be the rarest Golf GTI in history. Global production will be capped at 400 units.

The Clubsport S builds on the already special Golf GTI Clubsport Edition 40, which is the most powerful production Golf GTI.

This car will be available exclusively as a 3-door manual only with a 310PS version of the 2.0 TSI engine.

Important dates

Production – from week 36 2016 to week 49 2016

Product and marketing

Exact price and specification of the Clubsport S is yet to be confirmed, but the car has bucket seats as standard, 19-inch alloys, Dynamic Chassis Control, black roof and will be individually numbered 1 to 400 on a silver coloured plate on the centre console.

Options

No car configurator will be available because on the limited production volume of the Clubsport S. More details will follow when they are confirmed. 

This exclusive edition is only available in three colours:

Tornado red
Pure white
Deep black

More details on the Golf GTI Clubsport S will be published when they are available.

Is there a technical reason why they are putting the Clubsport s into production? 100 into the uk is barely a blip on the rader. Does it help for other reasons? I notice on the you tube videos there is a big disclaimer stating that it is not in production yet.

Maybe to fill a production car criteria?

Press release also does not mention it only has front seats, wonder if it will come with rears then, as its pretty important fact.
