Clubsport S - Colours, Spec & Info ...

I expect a few dealer employees or their families will be in on the act.
VW won't care, as said, they had their money and will milk the fact that these are sought after models.
As for anyone mug enough to pay some of those inflated prices, it'll either be a case of "a fool and their money.." or a good investment depending on the market. A risky market in some ways with Brexit looming but then again if the money is sat in the bank doing absolutely zilch then why not enjoy it by buying a Volkswagen shaped ornament.

I think the CS-S is going to be a similar scenario to the BMW 1M ... straight after launch sold for £2k above list then dropped to £3-5k below list then just kept going up and up after 5 years ... I would estimate that if you kept your CS-S for 5 years you will get pretty much back what you paid for it ... after all this is VW's first and very good attempt at making a true limited run GT type car, unlike the edition 40 where literally thousands have been made across the world as opposed to a mere 400 which is Porsche 918 spyder territory ... Time will tell i guess! But with the Top Gear Awards showing well for the CS-S all it needs is a podium from EVO and will surely galvanise the attraction and demand and therefore future value ...?!!

My brother in law has just taken delivery of his second 918 spyder. Puts it all into perspective really😀

It will certainly be interesting to see how values pan out!  My prediction is that there will be little or no profit to be made, even in the short term.  I also reckon it will also devalue over five years, slower than most other cars, but nevertheless it will drop.  As has been said, only time will tell!

Wondering if anyone had confirmation of their car being built?
According to the tracker mine was supposed to be built this week, but that has now changed to; the date for build of your car has been confirmed and will begin shortly.

My CS-S is now at stage 4 build in progress. Went to that stage last week so I'm hoping for mid November delivery?

I've no idea but he owns a grey one and has just got a white one.  And he lives in the UK.
He's taken me for a spin in the grey one but it can't go any faster than my GTI on our roads. 
It looks incredible though!

And the grey one

I hope for you this happens but I don't think it will.
Short term I think the values will rise. Longer term say 5 years time the new GTI will be out. Chassis will have improved and the then GTI will have similar power but a superior chassis and probably lap times. The CS-S will then simply fade into the history books.

On a side note Mr. GT4,
As a GTI enthusiast it would be great to see, as your in Teesside and Mr. DTUK is in Durham how about sorting out a photoshoot of your two cars once you both recieve them.
