So, yeah, it's more gold, but we reckon the extra chassis response, the extra spring in it's step and the extra fun those things add up to make it worth the ask. And it's not just the focus that suffers at the mitts of the VRX - anything else with aspriations to this years Bang For Your Bucks title should be looking over it's shoulder, too.

Sh1t the Clio was quicker than that when it came out 7 or so yrs ago.
