Following last week photos of a spiced up VW Golf GTI testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a video of its laps on the iconic racetrack has surfaced online. The hardcore Golf GTI is rumored to be a more powerful Club Sport version that could bridge the gap between the standard Golf GTI and the mighty Golf R.

However, let’s not forget about the rumored Golf R Evo, which will reportedly be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in concept form.

The latter is said to ditch the rear seats and replace them with a roll cage, a feature the Golf GTI caught testing on the Nürburgring seems to have. Golf GTI Club Sport, Golf R Evo or both, one thing is clear: VW is preparing a hardcore hot-hatch, something enthusiasts won’t complain about.

Scroll down to hear the engine screaming and tires squealing as the hot Golf is driven mercilessly on the Green Hell.
