Title: Mk5 R32
Post by: DubFan on 12 August 2005, 15:09
Has anyone seen the pictures?

It looks pretty sweet, 250bhp, twin exhausts, 18inch alloys, 20mm lower than the Mk5 GTI, shiny chrome bits.

take a look: http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/news-story.jsp?news_id=12774

Not as individual looking as the Mk4 R32, it says £22,500 in the uk? Thats only 2k more than a standard GTI, mmm, can't see that being right :undecided:

Unlikely. Spec and price have yet to be finalised. He may well have taken a deposit against one, but sold one? No.

Spec and cost won't be finalised until the car is officially released. Is due to be launched at Frankfurt in Q4

First cars will not appear in UK until Q1 of '06 at the earliest.

On the basis of spec (leather, xenons, 18's etc) there is no way the car will retail at £23k ( similarly specc'd GTi would cost more than that).

Expect a minimum list of £26k, but most likley £28k
