As per the title, the Golf R is now configurable on volkswagen.de - and so you can see the full options list!
The best surprise for me is that they're doing the Talledega wheel in a 19" Black option :cool:
If anyone is intersted, the Roc R is also there too!
-
Holy sh1t!!
Just translated the options list....
Race car bucket seats
3.150,00 €
Err... I might have to leave them out!

Where is Deep Blue Pearl colour, or rising blue I think it is called!!??!!!!! :angry: :angry:
Only colours I see are
Candy-Weiß 0,00 € (Candy White)
Tornadorot 0,00 € (Tornado Red)
Reflexsilber Metallic 490,00 € (Reflex Silver)
Shadow Blue Metallic 490,00 € (Shadow Blue)
United Grey Metallic 490,00 € (United Grey)

Surely they cant show the car in this colour, all the promo pics etc and then not offer it as an option?

Scirocco R is available in "Rising Blue Metallic" in the Konfigurator. Golf R is not - initially at least. :undecided:

What VW, your Roc painter not willing to lend his blue paint brush to the Golf painter........? :angry:

Just noticed, when add 19" wheels you get darkened reflectors in the headlights. :cool:
-
No Blue is odd?
Nice to see that VW are holding thier prices high as always! :shocked:
Will just have to wait and see what the UK price will be then.

On the VW websites, a base GTI costs €26,650 in Germany and £23,015 in the UK.
The base R is coming up as €36,400 in Germany, using the same percentage uplift that equates to £31,435. Gulp
(and a base S3 costs £26,645 in the UK).

How long did it take for the GTI to jump from .de to .co.uk?!
I hope we can get an order in before Christmas, as then we'll save on the new VAT rate.

I don't want to disappoint you but for VAT it's the final invoice date that counts... So unless the dealer is willing to take the hit you'll pay more when collecting.

This is correct. Delivery date, not order date.
-
I think it doesn't look as good as the MK5 r32, but you seem to get less for your considerably more money. No?
-

I know this - but I was at the dealer on Saturday asking a few questions - and VW have been given an additional 2.5% discount on cars ordered between now and New Year - to combat the VAT hike.
-
The list of options is juts amazing, but definitely like the seats !
-
Love this car. Silver chariot, black is positively evil. :evil:
Love it.
Gotta have 4-doors, DSG, ACC, leather, SatNav, sunroof, 19" alloys (silver not black which is way OTT).
Anyone know UK prices yet?

It's probably a low volume colour compared to the others. By holding off on supplying Rising Blue initially, the factory can guarantee a suitable volume of orders comes through before introducing the colour to the production line. Not a problem for the Scirocco line, as it's already there.

I find it surprising.
Golf Mk 4 R32 was originally ONLY available in DBP (Deep Blue Pearl).
Golf Mk 5 R32 was available in DBP FROM LAUNCH.
Find it strange they would be worried about "suitable volume of orders".
But, hey ho. My last Mk5 R32 was DBP, so happy for a change. :undecided:

black wheels - they make the car look like someone has pinched the wheels and left it on bricks.
-
They did say there maybe a delay in rising blue metallic looks like this is the case.
-
hmmmm I was thinking if the monza shadows were powder coated black and have those red trims around the edges, is definately better looking than the black interlagos rims...

I wouldn't hold out too much hope of them making it across the North Sea though. IIRC the mkv's had an option for black monza's (called detroits) but that was never an option this side of the drink. The Germans keep all the good things for themselves.

Was an option on the Ed30. But can someone explain to me the desire/trend to have black wheels? I can achieve the same effect with a little heavy braking and neglect.
-
sorry guys just a bit off topic that Blue Golf MK6 GTI that was revealed at Geneva,what colour is that?is that colour available?
-
But can someone explain to me the desire/trend to have black wheels?
Personally I've been wanting black wheels for well over a year now! I was just away to buy them for my ED30... and then some idiot wrote it off for me! If black wheels aren't an option on the R, then I'll either be powder coating the originals, or buying some aftermarket ones... in black or a very dark grey. I see they're not an option on the Roc R.
I don't know why I like them... I just do!
They didn't appear on the ED30 options list over here - but I think you could ask the dealer nicely and get them instead!
Hopefully that'll be the case with the R.
-

I think thats the rising blue colour that everyone is moaning about not being on the options list!
Its odd, becuase the brochure has it as a colour. Its obviously going to be added to the website later. Maybe it'll be available by the time it makes it to the UK?
-
ok cool :smiley: but im not so sure its rising blue I think its another type of blue,I think the one you are talking about is the blue that was on the GTI-R at Frankfurt.The blue im talking about is the blue that was at Geneva this year when VW showed off the MK6 GTI "concept" for the first time.
-

That was one of the special order colours - it's either Techno blue pearl (used previously on the Beetle) or Mercato blue metallic (used on the Bora). But I haven't been able to confirm which one.
-
what do you mean by special order? :huh:? that colour is so nice :drool:
-
In Germany you can pay about 2000 Euro and choose from a much wider range of colours.
-
ooohhh!thanks man but 2000 euro!thats a lot but i would pay that for that colour dont understand why VW just didnt make it available for everyone.Do you think maybe they will add it when theres a facelift?
-
Mk6 is the facelift. Who knows what they'll do for the Mk7 - styles may have changed so much that pink and gold are the two most wanted colours....
-
Mmmmm, gold.
Want! :cool:
Rolfe.

as the dragons say, i'm out.
this is a sick price for 'just a golf' the 29k i'm paying for a fully loaded gti vs about 43,000 euros (must be getting on for 37k) is just too much :cry:

De Germans also priced the passat R36 at €47,000
but VW uk sell it for the more reasonable £33,000
So I'd imagine the golf R will be close to the estimated £27-28 k . The high-ish price should maintain exclusivity and keep solid residuals. I for one can't wait... :cool:

lol - are you kidding? That ain't high-ish, it is outlandish! The higher you price it, the greater the depreciation!

You can be sure for one thing, if the numbers are big on the R it's certainly going to improve sales on the GTi!
Just dropped my R32 off this morning for probably it's last service...... with me anyway :cry:

Without a doubt i'll miss it! Not sure if i'll ever get the opportunity to own a car like this again. Not with the way the government is going on taxing drivers!
Im trying to decide between the GTD and GTi. I think the R is going to be over 30k which is gonna be out of my price bracket.
-
Im trying to decide between the GTD and GTi.
Apart from mpg and about £500, what advantages for you does the GTD have over the GTI?
-

The detailing police will be here any minute! :shocked:
-

Apart from mpg and about £500, what advantages for you does the GTD have over the GTI?
That's it just the MPG and that's the only factor to consider.
The GTi i priced up is 26.5k ish, if the R comes in somewhere in the 28's i'll probably go for that.
-

If you've added about £4k of options to the GTI, then you'll probably have a big list to add onto the £28.5k (hopefully!) of the Golf R - which will take it to £32-33k :shocked:
On another note... I test drove a GTD for about 3 hours at the weekend and was very surprised by it! It was quiet, quick and very nice to drive. If I did more miles I'd certainly consider one, but currently I barely do 7k a year. The GTD was torquier, but the GTI was quicker - although I wouldn't say by much! I just prefer getting the noise and feeling of thrashing a petrol car... which you can't really do with diesel.
-

Yes, I was impressed by it too. As a high mileage company car it would be the one to go for. For fun though, it has to be the GTI.

Now available in Rising Blue on the Konfigurator:

Anyone heard a date yet for when we can configure??
-
Now available in Rising Blue on the Konfigurator:
Hmmm... those pictures do nothing for Rising Blue - it looks much better in the flesh, or even in the Roc R v Golf R race video!
It was bound to come sooner or later as its in my brochure as a choosable colour.
It makes the decision a little harder in terms of colours as I think it will be stunning... but I'm more likely to take something that will 'blend in' and not stand out.

Thats a photoshop of the original press photos - its got the same number plate!
Nice if you want to stand out... but for me its a buit :sick:

I see the R uses a bigger turbo, does this mean more lag (I hardly notice any).
-
Heres a very quick photoshop I did - rising blue with black wheels...
I seem to have lost the brake calipers... but then they're black anyway :wink:
What do you reckon?!

Looks good! :cool:
That's my current favourite combination: Rising Blue with black wheels. Though, I fear VWUK will only do the silver wheels. :cry:
Also like the Candy White with black wheels - but already got a white car.
-
I must say the more I look at the rising blue, the more tempting it is!
I'm just scared that every R made will be in rising blue!
I also wasn't sure if it would go with the black wheels - but I think they look great with all the black bits on the car (mirrors, diffuser etc).
I also think that VW UK won't get the black wheels :cry:
Maybe just order the silver ones and then see about a set of aftermarket black ones later - or even powdercoat those ones?

I had a silver Mk5 R32, then a DBP (similar to Rising Blue) Mk5 R32. Now, I know which one I remember most fondly. :grin:
I also wasn't sure if it would go with the black wheels - but I think they look great with all the black bits on the car (mirrors, diffuser etc).
Black wheels seem to becoming more and more mainstream (for example - the new Renaultsport Mégane 250: http://bit.ly/apkPs (http://bit.ly/apkPs)). I'm just going for it (if VW provide the option).
-
Please excuse my rough photoshopping - but check out the Golf R on the VW Motorsport black wheels. Again, these are an optional extra in Germany ( http://volkswagen-zubehoer.de/shop/product_info.php?info=p723 ) - but probably not here!
If this was a choice, I'd certainly pick it over the Talladegas!
(http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z92/p3eps/rising_vwmotorsport.jpg)
-
Black wheels look :sick:. I've seen the Scirocco in Viper green and thought it looked good though. Although everyone else will probably have it too, Rising blue is my choice of colour for the R.
-
black wheels are ugly imo. its got that "hubcaps just been nicked" look :laugh:
-
DBP and black
(http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq48/BigE_R32/R32/rewrqr.jpg)
-
I dunno about this new blue... but the DBP is the best colour available at the mo by far!!
A clean one simply turns heads (and get you some if your lucky :wink: :laugh:)
-
I do really like this blue on the scirocco and by how it looks in real life i think it will look great on the golf R,
-

Exactly what I thought when I see the above pic, why don't VW just keep DBP as it just looks great and its the R colour.

Theres nothing about the Golf R on the Swedish VW site yet? I've struggled my way through untl I found the Configurator - but theres no mention of the R models.
Maybe they'll turn up tomorrow... the German ones arrived on a Tuesday!

I much prefer the fact that it actually has sideskirts, rather than a little bit of black plastic stuck on. 3 doors for me, so short and stump suits me fine! I'm glad they've taken it down 20mm - it looks exactly how it should now.
The wheels are VERY shiney looking!
I hope we can order in the UK soon, as I'm getting fed up waiting! Its been almost 6 months :sick:

i think the golf, being a little on the heavy side, needs slightly chubbier alloys.
-
(http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z92/p3eps/rising_vwmotorsport.jpg)
Personally I think they look fantastic.
I feel the official R alloys are a bit skinny, but the VW Motorsport ones carry well because they have a heap of spokes. Remember the pic above is a poor photoshop attempt and has no callipers / drums / disks!

I totally agree with you there too! The main thing that drew me to the MK5 Edition 30 was that I really didn't like the Monzas. I think they suit the car, but I don't know what it is about them - but I just don't like them. Obviously the extra 30hp was a bonus too - as well as the fully painted rear bumper! I'll never understand why they only had a half painted bumper in the first place :undecided:

Yep... they are not my cuppa tea at all :rolleyes:
They do have a resemblance, but the VW Motorsport ones are a bit meatier, and the middle is alot fuller.
The ones on the red car posted above look quite similar to MTM Bimotos - which were a big hit on the S3 forums!
I'll go try and add some brakes to my photoshop and see how it looks!

Booo to the Monza Shadow hating!!! :angry:
HATING is a strong word! Just a mild dislike :wink:
Wouldn't do if everyone was the same - otherwise every car on the road would be identical... and we wouldn't have sites like barryboys taking the p1ss!!! :laugh:

Actually... the more I look at the VW Motorsport wheels, the more I think they maybe are a bit skinny!
Its difficult to get a real idea with a photoshop as I'm a bit poop at it - but heres a pic of a Roc wearing them. Its almost as 'heavy' as the Golf, so it should be a decent comparison. The only thing is that they're so black in this photo that its actually difficult to see them!

Just been reading through that motor-talk thread using the google translator.
Apparently that car belongs to the owner of VW Individual... and the wheels are not original - they are polished!

Here is a quote from the autocar website from Monday. Its about the Scirocco R, but its likely the Golf will follow the same guidelines...
"Volkswagen has confirmed its new Scirocco R will cost from 33,475 euro (£30,691) when it goes on sale in Germany later this year.
UK pricing has yet to be announced, but it is tipped to cost around £25,000 when it goes on-sale here due to exchange rates. Final pricing is expected to be confirmed later this month."
Hopefully that will mean the stated £28 - 28.5k price will stand here. The Roc was originally announced as £26k!

We need to relax on the pricing of the Golf R. It is unlikely to cost more than £2K-£3K above the standard GTI or it risks not selling at all. VW isn't stupid, so expect it to retail at a basic price of £28,000 max. What's artificially inflating all car prices is the €/£ exchange rate. A normal rate would see a €33,000 Roc R sell at 22,000 assuming £1 = 1.50.

Lol - depends on what you call normal. Most financial bods are predicting the pound to be at parity with the euro to be the "normal" rate ie 1 to 1
Also don't forget the R is much higher spec than the gti as basic so should cost much more than the 2-3k you mention.

Quite right, but God help us if 1 = 1 does become the new rate! It could even be Gordon Brown's secret plan to force Britain to join the Euro! in any case, VW hedges against currency fluctuations, otherwise they wouldn't sell any cars here at all!!!
R highly specced? Hardly! AWD, 60 bhp+ and park assist and LED lights. That isn't too much extra kit if you ask me.
-
Basic gti 22-23k... Basic golf R expected to be 27-28k.....
My basic maths makes that 5k more (not 2-3k)
I just want them to officially open the order books so I can get a delivery date (approx)

..... And xenons and extra body styling and exclusivity...
I'll pay the extra

A guy who posts on scirocconet is the business manager at a VW dealership. They got a memo about 6 weeks ago saying they should expect the R models to be approximately 5k more than the rop spec models. That would make 27-28k be right.
Fingers crossed

Another couple of poor photochops - using Neils VWRacing wheels.
Looks quite good in the silver and the blue. Much nicer 'meatier' wheels!
