Looks like Edition 45 might be on the way

Official UK press release:

There is some deceiving stuff in there.... unless the ED45 comes with DCC as standard...

I wonder what the "GTI 45" badge looks like on the rear?

You called it Fred, but the power mad (me included) won’t believe you.  As has been said here, very early in the model cycle so couldn’t expect engine tweak in reality.

However if the Edition 50 doesn’t have 350ps then it will be a disgrace.......even if you need to take a spare set of tyres just to go to the shops to cope with shredded tyres from the power

Hi Fred, I read the press release but couldn’t see anything mentioned about DCC. Think it’s probably still on the options list.

Will be interested to see what take up is like

Yes but it mentions "special mode"... without pointing out that that needs DCC... which is what I mean about slightly deceiving...

Yes thats the ED45 black roof.

If the Ed45 got DCC as standard it’d be a bargain. Relatively speaking of course.

Only an idiot would drive something so precious😂

Ahhh I didn’t see that mention, that’s a bit subtle...as king monkey says if it came with DCC it might be a bit of a result... but of course don’t know what the damage is yet,

Give it five years or so and all ICE cars will be collectors items

True! It’s actually a very nice looking golf gti, though I’m struggling to understand from that press release why it’s so expensive. I think the sentence I picked out explains the cost!
