Looks like there’s another TCR launch event happening today, Mat Watson from Carwow is there filming.
He also referred to it as a “limited edition”...
Limited edition is a numbered, restricted production run restricted to a specific unit volume. Cars will carry a plaque or be marked to show which number they are in within the series i.e. Clubsport S.
Limited production is more accurate as it there is a finite production window which has narrowed due to the impending new model.
The TCR was due to be released in October after Worthersee but WLTP impacted it. I guess it also depends on how many MKVII body shells they have left.
It's a bit like people calling Southern Africa, 'South Africa'. South Africa is a country, Southern Africa is a sub-region which includes 5 countries. Totally different things.
I wish people paid to know these things could get this sort of thing right.
Talking of which, my dealer rang me this morning and informed me that the car was a concept and wouldn't be coming to the UK. I asked if they read the motoring press and asked why VW UK were doing a press launch for a car that wasn't being sold. I was given reassurance that it's definitely not going to be available. So we should probably just close this thread and forget about it all!
