The facelift comes with an Akrapovic exhaust. Interesting.

I quite like the colour with the black prets. However I cannot see it in the configurator for the Golf R. What's the name of the colour?

It's called Tumeric Yellow

Soon to be on the configurator ; )

Thanks for that. How is the roof all black? I thought the sun roof only goes half way?

If that's true it will sound bloody awesome but I'd be very surprised

It's available to order for the S, SE, GT and R-Line at the moment but no sign of it in the price brochure for the R or R estate.

It was announced to us on the 2nd of March that we can place orders with the factory and the configurator and price lists will be updated in due course.

Is that the same colour?

Dam seen that on a Beetle and it was  :sick: and I don't mean in young people's type of sick.

It looks like a Golf R as we expect from certain angles such the back with the quad exhaust, but the side with the black side skirt looks more like a lesser model as the sides of the car do not look as deep.  The front looks pretty good but unsure if it is any better visually than the current Golf R front, which I feel I may prefer as a personal opinion.

Brave choice for someone to make... a yellow Golf.

Yellow can look nice. Not the same yellow as the new colour but I think it looks nice

Damn wish I had that choice of colour when I was looking for my Gti would have had a match lol  :whistle: my other toy as well as the wife's scirocco

It looks like it's an option in the German brochure but not confirmed for the UK yet. Would be brilliant but very costly I'd imagine

I'm sure I've seen that colour on a Focus before too.

The Geneva car colour looks to be semi-matt to me, plus, as the guy points out, it has subtle graphics on it, so I reckon it's a wrap. To me, this leaves the actual colour which will be offered a bit in the air.

Nice to see VW offering something a bit adventurous again, though!

This car is turmeric yellow and it definitely not wrapped.

Was Tungsten Silver included for the performance models?

I don't understand why TS is not available across the range in the UK.

Found this on another forum, which sheds a bit more light on the Mk7.5 R.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x35U4YYJNnQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x35U4YYJNnQ)

Performance Options presumably include that tasty Acrapovich exhaust, which must be a couple of grand?

At least I'd imagine but it would be great to have the option of those options  :grin:
