This weekly update covers several significant automotive news items, with a primary focus on the upcoming 2021 Volkswagen GTI and Golf R. Leaked specifications suggest the GTI will receive a power bump to 241 horsepower, eschewing hybridization for an enhanced internal combustion engine. The Golf R is also expected to see a substantial increase in power to 328 horsepower and will retain its all-wheel-drive configuration, positioning it as a strong competitor in its segment. The video also touches on the potential debut of the VW ID.4 in the US, the production version of the Lucid Air, Subaru's electrification plans, and updates from Alfa Romeo and Maserati. While the GTI and Golf R news is promising, the broader EV news, particularly Subaru's timeline, is presented as somewhat unambitious. The review highlights the leaked specs and potential performance gains as key takeaways.
