I have a look at the EU GTI, it got 210hp and the US model has just 200 hp, do they have the same engine?
THX a lot !!

Yes. From what I've read on here it's to do with the insurance group in the US

Same engine, different tune, emission ratings and minimum gas octane requirements. Stage 1 tune @ 93AKI produces identical power.

Essentially the same engine. There are some hardware changes but nothing that would cause more power. The power difference is simply a calibration change.
