A bit longer look at it here without an annoying commentary, just birdies singing in the trees

I have read the 20 Year Anniversary Golf R has extras like real carbon fibre dash inserts as well so its easily gonna be around £50K +

I must admit I did roll my eyes when I read about the real carbon fibre dash trims in the press release.
Just think of the weight saving having both that and the titanium exhaust - got to be worth at least 0.0001 second around the green hell for the mere cost of a few months wages between them…

Externally, apart from the blue alloys and door mirror caps option and a few ‘20’ badges IMHO it doesn’t really look any different to a standard R - maybe the standard R was also designed by an 18 year old then :whistle:.

Not worth the extra money! I think I am getting old (certainly well past 18  :smiley:)  but just an R with extra blue bits and a fa**box.  :laugh:

From the video looks like jaceyboy was right. 18 year olds involved. :smiley:

Taking aside the blue wheel highlights and blue mirror caps on the white car which are both a bit marmite there is no difference externally to a standard R apart from a few badges
Internally apart from the carbon again they remain the same as a standard R
The other standard specification items on the R20 apart from the performance upgrade are all available as options on a standard R
Don’t see how then the opinion of it being designed by an 18 year old applies unless you think that of a standard R also
