Editor's Note: This press release from Volkswagen references the brand's all-electric ID models. Behind the scenes, all ID-model cars thus far are based on the Volkswagen Group MEB electric car matrix. This component set also underpins the Audi Q4, and one would assume that such upgrades would also apply to any Audi variants. At the time of this publishing, this has not been confirmed with Audi.

Also, the most modified car here, the Volkswagen Golf R, is driven by...Ben Collins, formerly known as The Stig. How is that fair? The results may not be a surprise but how will the RS 3 do? Find out below.

We spotted this Golf R 20 Years Anniversary Edition testing at the Nürburgring with canards on each corner of the front bumper making us think the Volkswagen might be working on something more for the Golf R fans. But is it just some kind of track package that will be developed for the Golf R or are they working an even more powerful version? To be honest we have no clue what so ...

The Audi 50 was only built for 4 years (1974-1978) while its rebadged Volkswagen stablemate the Polo is still in production. In that time, over 180k 50s were built but they were only sold in Europe. They had either a 1.1L or a 1.3L 4-cylinder; this one has the 1.1L. Here's the ad:
