As discussed on the R forum all the mechanics are in production. As it is just an R with a modified engine.  An engine which is being used by Audi.

Also, the video says it is to celebrate 40 years of the Golf.

After much deliberation I don't think I would bother upgrading from my R.  I could get my R to 400bhp for not too much money and I don't have to have those seats, plus I get to keep my 5 doors!

Still, there are plenty of people showing interest.

But its not a GTI is it? It is an R... So, I doubt it will be an Ed 40...

Given what it is likely to cost and the fact that, to me, it looks like it has crashed into a German branch of Halfords, I reckon the money would be better spent on something that's not an expensively jazzed up shopping car...  :evil:

It will be interesting to see how many they make and what the price will be. I would probably think round about the £38k mark and limited to 400 perhaps  :wink:

To me this is what the standard R should have looked like in the first place. I can see many current R owners not being too happy  :grin:

I really like the look of this, but if i was spending circa £40k(+?) would I be buying a Golf?  Not sure i would.

A few people have mentioned how the R looks a little restrained, is this why, where VW holding back?

They should build it though, good for the brand  :cool:

Now this car looks the nuts, the silver and green work really well IMO as do the alloys and probably all other colours too.

I would get this car not because of the BHP but looks alone as I'd never use all the power.

If this is mass produced to the public I think I might change my savings account name from 'mortgage' to 'R400'  :grin:
