Looks like a fiat stilo

Looks like a Polo with sh!t wheels :huh:
-
Brad, not sure if you made a typo but that magazine clearly states a weight of 1300kg. :grin: :kiss:
Does look pretty pants though, mind you I didn't like the MK6 all that much but it's grown on me.
-
:laugh: it was indeed a typo, was curling out a bab whilst reading the article :grin:
-

I thought exactly the same! :huh: :sick:
-
Ive lost count how many different versions of the MK7 I have seen.
Im assuming this is just Auto Expresses artist impression of what the MK7 will look and in no way have any confirmation from VW.
Does it state where they got this information on weight and power from?
-
These are the most legit looking pictures i've seen of the mk7, obviously the GTI will look a bit better.

Will be interesting to see what the real weight will be.

Exclusive in that no other magazine has them because its all bolloxs (imo).

Journalism at its worst.
Up until it now, it was believed that the next GTI's 2.0-litre turbocharged four-banger would get a 10 to 15 percent boost from 207hp (210PS) to around 220hp-230hp, but Autocar magazine reported today that the hot hatch may make as much as 260-horsepower.
Its doesnt state anything about how it got this information. All it says is "reported" i.e someone has just plucked a figure out of the air and reported it to sell magazines. 260bhp in a GTI as standard is crazy talk.

I was posting more for the video at the bottom. :grin:

I just love having a good moan, dont mind me :)

Must be due to having to join the dirty, dark, Aldi gang.

260 is crazy talk, think 240 tops and even that is a stretch :laugh:
-
*sigh* looks the same as a mk6 GTI nowt exciting here.
-
Looks like I'll keep my Polo GTI a little longer if this is the best they can come up with!
-
Wonder what engine they will put in the mk7 golf r
Maybe 2.5 engine?

Nah, it will be the 2.0ltr....emissions and all that, me thinks!

Says in magazine Golf R will have the Exact same engine as the GTI but uprated power to around 300hp
ironically in the back of the mag it has a mini test thing between current Golf R and Focus RS.. they rate the Foucus and number 1 choice :lipsrsealed:

Yes, I very much like the look of the RS it looks awesome in green...but pace wise I read a good while back the the R has the legs on the RS...don't know how much of this true tho, it wud be good to see a vid of them both up against each other...
-
well iv been up against a RS in my golf and i had him.. which put me off them a bit TBH... plus i keep hearing folk saying they under power by 20 bhp or so :undecided:
The Auto Express feature says the R can't match the performance of The RS....
I like them both.. would be a hard choice for me

Autocar said that they were expecting a Golf RS for the MKVII, which they are saying would be a 2.5ltr with 365bhp. I'd like to think so and I'd be knocking on their doors if they did, but somehow I doubt it and it is just Autocar's journo's wet dream! :laugh:

Im not surprised you done the RS they are 300bhp out the box but weigh about twice your car... My friend has one which he has had tuned by JamSport to over 440bhp and its an animal but just keeps eating R888 tyres which are £260 a corner :shocked:

That one of your mates sounds awesome :cool:
-
Its already killed one engine :lipsrsealed:
-
really ? sh!t what happened.? bet it is a real beast tho :evil:
-
Im not sure to be fair i think it was running to much power on standard internals so they had to wind the power back a tad as forged internals are big $$$
-
I had my stage 1 GTI Mk6 up against a 435bhp (claimed) RS a few weeks ago. It pulled away from me in a similar fashion to how my Mk6 might pull away from a lamppost using launch control.
Typical... it was the one night it wasn't raining in Scotland :laugh:. Might've been a different story if it had.
