Maybe the blue wheels look better in the flesh? I’ve seen a few different styles of German alloys that have coloured anodised sections in recent years.
I’m going out on a limb here and saying I’d actually spec the blue wheels. Why? Because they’re the only thing hinting at it being a special edition car. Yes it has little plaques for the enthusiasts but not much else.
For those speccing up a Golf R they may as well go for the Anni model but it’s definitely one for those with very deep pockets. And that’s not a bad thing for a range topping model.
Vaguely similar to Brenbo’s experience with the Polo, I had an errand to run (ok I was bored) at work so jumped in a hired manual Diesel van to zip a few miles up the road and back. Damn it was fun! I’ve grown extremely lazy with DSG and can’t wait for a decent EV that actually fits my fussy criteria because I just can’t be bothered with cog boxes at all anymore, but I did really enjoy buzzing around in the van with its zippy free revving engine and decent throttle response.
And yes, I did manage to stall it once because I forgot to change gear.
