Shamlessly stolen from Greenouses thread on 'the other site'
http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/263578/volkswagen_golf24_the_440bhp_nurburgring_racer.html
You'd think they'd fit Xenons for night driving? Typical VW, charge extra for everthing! :laugh:
Main thing of note is the 35 Jahre plastered up the sides :smug:
Some hints towards an ED35 at Worthersee this year maybe?

It has the 5 cylinder engine and 4WD :evil:

I'll wager my hat that the 'real' Edition 35 doesn't have that little gem under the bonnet (or the 4WD) :smiley:
-
I might be tempted to buy an ed35 :smiley:
I doubt they'd ever make a gti with 4wd or anything other than a 4 pot as it's not true to the original.
Who knows they may make an R+ golf with the 5cyl unit?
-
It's a thread worth stealing! :laugh: :wink:

Yeah, well done for spotting the article originally Nath. :smiley:
I think an R+ or RS maybe a possible as a swansong for some markets, using the 5 pot.
However I agree 100% with everyone that says the ED35 will have a 4 cylinder motor.
Guess the spec of the ED35 time (maybe edit the thread and seperate if this bit takes off).
I reckon:
Engine wise I'll go for the obvious choice of the Leon Cupra (not R) engine, 235 or 240PS as quoted output.
2wd.
That will keep it cheaper and lighter than an R
Styling wise I reckon fully blacked out headlamp bezels similar to Scirocco lights (not tinted, just all black plastic inside losing the chrome). Xenon upgrade in all black R style.
Possibly a unique front bumper, or failing that the fog lights lightly smoked (similar to 25th Edition) and a slightly different lip spoiler.
R style side skirts, possibly in gloss black.
Body coloured wing mirrors though.
At the back I'm a bit hesitant, maybe a similar wheelbarrow handle exhaust with differently shaped tail pipe trims instead of round ones. And maybe the rear diffuser in gloss black. Dark R tail lights.
Inside I reckon maybe a version of the Rs seats but with red bolsters on black seats (unlike the white on black of the R) and a GTI 35 logo.
White stitching on the steering wheel? Unique knob probable.
And the wheels? Dunno, VW should have learnt their lesson with polished face wheels, but I reckon the wheels will have a fancy finish and the option of 19s.

VW would never put an RS badge on the back of any production VW :sad: Trying to take owners from the Audi RS vehicles.
Although the R+ sounds good or something like a R350R or R5+ e.g Golf R five pot :grin:

Please please please VW, if you're listening, make this car...

How can a thread be a repost if it was there before the other one? Jeez.
And it's about a mk6, that's why it is in the mk6 section. Rocket science? And mine is better :laugh: But not as good as Greenouses :grin:
The reason many of us don't post in the 'other sections' is because of the council estate attitude your post typifies.
When I scan through other sections I see threads and posts of the typical 'You should see what they just said in the mk6 section' or 'here's a typical mk6 owner comment..' and the like.
Yet you drop in here to sh!t stir when you get bored and completly miss the point of threads and posts put there deliberately to bait you.
Still, I love the banter and it has got me through a crap week, so a big thanks to all you wanabee WUMs and shi7 stirrers :kiss:

Amen to that Brother Andy.
Now let us prey on those lost souls.

Even if they did make something similar as a road car which i doubt. With VWs pricing strategy it would be more expensive than the RS3 :grin: and probably more than the TTRS :grin: plus it would also have much lower equipment levels than those two too. :grin:

Right, you have seen what can be done. Stop winging about luggage nets and who has the best sat nav instead, get the grinder and welder out and get modding!
