Its got a quiff diff or something? :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: VW have got to sort out the name R20T doesn't do it for me. Just call it a GTI-R or something manly like road ripper or exotic and name it after an old racing driver/designer/road in Italy, or the autobahn eater, something like that.

I agree - seems from a marketing or stance point of view to call it a less number than the R32....even though it evidently refers to the engine size.

They need to poach the chap who developed the Focus MkII's suspension, it's better than VW's.

300 bhp should be OK with a form of LSD, knadgery steering and that wonderful suspension.

Diff or no diff that car has too much power for 2 front wheels. power is nothing without control.... expect the esp to be working fulltime + some

That article (if any of it can be believed) implied it would likely be four wheel drive ala MkV R32..

What about Hondas next Civic Type R.  Electric motors in each wheel. 0 - 60 @ 4.5 seconds.
Allegedly.

Might be missing the V6 growl with those electric motors. Think high performance milk float...  :grin:

& even that's not all that, IMO.  VW need to poach the guys who set the Meg. R26/R26-R's chassis up!! :D

This has all gone very quiet.

With the Geneva Motor Show opening in 3 days I would have expected a bit more in the way of confirmed news. So will VW launch the R20T at Geneva or are autoexpress talking out of their arse again. Most of the other manufacturers have confirmed to the press about their new launches at Geneva but VW have been very quiet. Even Audi have announced that the TTRS will be unveiled.

Hopefully VW will pull a rabbit out of a hat.
