For a point of reference maybe it’ll be good for an Edition 50 order thread.
Leave the chatter for other threads, only actual orders/purchases in here please.
Spec, price, any discounts, dealer if you wish and country where the car was ordered.
Anything else directly relevant such as advised wait times might also be useful to others.

Just ordered moss green with pp,area view, hk etc
Also was told by another dealer that there will only be 300. How true is this ?
Has anyone else got a discount got 2k off mine.

This to me, is the jealous of those who have ordered the ED50 thread, i know who to point my green eyes at now!
Can see me later in year ED50 spotting and making similar aspersions, :)
Think we be looking to trade in present Golf R in 3 years as hits ten years, so be interesting to see where these are at in price, so remember to order all the goodies for us looking down the road though think it will always be just outside what willing to pay and likely talk self into a Black Edition R for likely less ££
Have always been in camp of if you can genuinely afford it, and want it, you buy it so genuinely happy for those in position to and like Exonian looking forward to seeing them delivered.

I idly checked DTD today to see if they included Ed 50 only to find they currently list only EVs on their VW section.
I think this means something significant for the future more generally……. but I don’t know what!

They told a friend of mine last week that the usual models would be back up on the site within a couple of weeks. I think they are just finalising a new VW dealer partner following Hayselden's demise.

Looking to place an order in the coming days ,has anyone managed to get a discount ,anybody recommend a dealer.When are you expecting your cars to be delivered?

Ordered mine in Belgium on 31/12/25.
Ordered it without PP as I was afraid it would be to harsh for daily use.
It wasn't until last friday,when the first online reviews came, and all of them were very clear that the PP is a must and it doesn't compromise the comfort much.
I rang the dealer on saturday to try to change my order to include the PP.
He said he couldn't change it anymore, as it was allready planned in the factory.
On monday I got a call back that there still was a small chance it could be done by the Belgian importer, but I shouldn't get my hopes up to high. He mailed me a new order, I signed it and mailed it back to the dealer. He would contact me on tuesday to let me know if the importer was successfull.
Didn't hear him on tuesday and couldn't reach him today, so in my mind I allready gave up.
Untill five minutes ago: got a call from the dealer and the importer has managed to change my car to a PP :laugh:
Only slight disadvantage is that they couldn't tell me if the deliverydate would be a little later, but I can live with that.
-
It looks like it's gonna be a limited run afterall. In Belgium and Germany the Edition 50 can't be configurated / ordered anymore.
Perhaps only temporary?...

Anyone had any further updates regarding the build/delivery dates?
-
Nothing just checked with dealership today and yet to be assigned a build date.
-
My order isn’t even coming up on my VW id when I log in, its just asking for a vin number that I don’t have :cry: but I did get an email saying the the factory has received my order but I don’t have a build date or anything else yet, bound to be the next few days surely,
-
I have ordered one yesterday. The salesman called me today saying that the predicted production week is 13 or 14.
-
Epic that’s fast! I’m hoping they just do a run and build all 1000 for the uk and ship them all out for the same time, :cool:

That number is confirmed?
In Portugal we had 15. Spain had 325, confirmed by VW Spain. France had 50 according to the media.

I placed an order on the 21 Feb. Moss green,. performance pack with the 19" Warmenau in black. I.e the performance pack as is. Pretty standard order.
Today the dealer phoned me and said that VW are not allowing that configuration of wheels, and that VW have given no reason as to why. They were prompting me to change wheels so the build could go ahead and that I could choose the diamond cut ones instead. I told them that seems wrong and will wait to see if VW correct themselves.
Has anyone else had this? Feels like a kick to not be offered them given it's all over their press materials for this edition.
Also had the £1000 offer from my dealer.
-
I saw your post earlier via Volkswizard , I also had similar spec ordered here in Ireland and would also feel aggrieved if I couldn't order the black option wheel.
I contacted my dealer re above and have yet to hear anything back. I don't know how this is the case as the black option wheel was used as the flagship model on launch of car. Seems bizarre
-
Perhaps they are running short and have stock of the others.
-
My guess is they don’t have enough sets of them wheels and want to get all the 1000 and it has been confirmed for the uk, apparently they are or could be trying to get all the uk cars over or at least th en majority of them for the launch in late April/may and have them all at the dealerships ready for handover all at the same time
-
Weird. I order mine on the 24th os February with the Performance Pack (PR Code WPG) and the black Warmenau Wheels (PR Code C7M).
With the newest conflict in the Middle East are production delays expected? Many electronic components come from Asia. If ships avoid the Suez Canal, deliveries are delayed one to two weeks.

Hi
I ordered a Clubsport with Warmenau Diamond Cut wheels in September and it was originally quoted as due into dealer early February. As yet I still don’t even have a build date confirmation. Dealer claims the delay is due to the wheels being unavailable? Not sure I actually believe that though 🤔
-
That’s a hell of a wait! Did you get the email saying the factory has your order and getting things ready and looking out parts ect..?
-
Yeah I have an online “brochure” that states order is with the factory and parts are being checked. This hasn’t changed for sometime. The dealer emails every few weeks to there’s no change in the status. I’m not stressing about it I’m sure it will be worth the wait 🤔
-
Usually 8-10 weeks from receiving that email the car is with the dealership but yeah definitely be worth the wait
