Golf R Reveal

[fredgroves]

R and R Performance eh....

More ways of taking more of your money....

What do you reckon, 39,995 for the R with zero options and north of 40k for the R Performance.

R Performance has the drift mode... which of course everyone will leave permanently switched on.

To be honest I think the R will be over £40k even as a ‘basic’ version. Sign of the times.

This article states a manual box will be available for the R? Might just be for the yanks though.

Absolutely. The wheels look like those from the T-Rocc or Tiguan R. Can never remember which.

I'm expecting those alloys to be optional. Think we've also seen them on the Arteon R. We've already seen what will probably be the standard wheels and they weren't well received. Meanwhile the countdown has started...

I think the one in that Twitter video is the R-Performance....

Which might explain the different wheels, definitely explains the Akra zorst...

Hope you've got some pennies saved.... this is going to be the most expensive non-special edition Golf ever made...

Wow, things have certainly ramped up today.  I am going to take today’s reveal as a win. I thought there might be two versions.(as per my post 17 Oct)

Price wise I think they will still want to keep R close to S3 so I’m thinking around £38.5/39k but goodness knows about the Performance version. What’s included will surely set the price. I suppose anywhere between £3 to £5k on top.

I think the wheels which were shown with Arteon R and Tiguan R will be the new option wheel. I quite like them. Yes, if the others (that look like Bergamos) are the standard then I think there will be plenty of upgrades

Hope you’re right about the price. The only thing I’m not sure where that would leave the Clubsport in terms of pricing.
