Yeah. I laughed at this! Not sure they’ll sell many at the price point it’s come in at. It’s slightly more than the R I’ve got coming. Food for thought still though.
Unlike the CS40 was with the 7 GTI, IMO the TCR isn’t different enough to warrant buying it over a 7.5 GTI Performance. Sure, the TCR is a bit better on track, but how many people would go out and buy a TCR specifically for the track, not many I would wager. I don’t think the choice of the R comes into this as they are very different cars for very different uses, so it’s a GTI245 v TCR choice.
The TCR produces the same torque as the 245P, you get with the TCR 45 more hp, some vented disc and 5mm lower, and.... errrrrr, well that’s it...!
No buckets, just some wheels recycled from the old CS or a new design, a paint taken from the VAG palette and a slightly different front and rear diffuser/splitter arrangement.
Unlike the MK7 CS/CSS the MK7.5 TCR is clearly more of a styling/branding exercise, I personally can’t see them selling many.
