Golf R in the flesh

I'm not really sure vw should be doing things like that unless it's discounts on electric vehicles.

Such punishing strategy really should be left to government.

This sounds more like vw simply profiting.

Cheers for the replies I wonder will the same discounts apply to the Clubsport Edition
Currently deliberating over whether to change my CSS for a Mk8
If they had produced a more limited run and something a bit more unique it would make the decision easier
Another option is keeping the CSS and changing the 7.5 PP GTI we have to an Edition 45
Bit more research required though

Well the ED45 is an option pack for the clubby.... I'm not sure how discounts are applied to options by DTD.

Have a feeling the discount on options isn't anything like the headline percentage on the base car (because the headline discount rate is including the deposit contribution that obviously doesn't scale up when you add things)

Remember also that the ED45 pack will take you over the 40k threshold... meaning an extra £300 a year road tax for the first 5 years...

On the German Configurator it’s listed as a separate model, not a pack like on other sites. All very confusing as usual!

Andrew Chapple has apparently had it straight from Vw that it’ll be under £40k, but as Fred says it’ll soon go over if you want certain options.

It’s believed to not be limited run in terms of numbers but limited more by time like the tcr was. If this is true, I’d expect the usual level of discount to be available.

VW excuse is trying to discourage customer from buying internal combustion.
VW teamed it "Way to zero" apparently it is design to lead customers towards electromobility.

Then make me an ID3R then

Look at the Cupra Born. I believe it’s based on the id3 platform. There will be an id3R. Please forget this post if it never happens.

Here you go, its already out...

The Cupra Born looks pretty much the same as the ID3 barring a few SEAT-esque styling tweaks.

What can we say?
