How much carbon fibre does £30k buy you, if its putting out that power, then I might have to sell my house cause it looks stunning. But they did produce the golf and rallye g60 and saw fit to only give us the corrado in g60 form. :sad:

Title: Re: Concept R GTI Golf
Post by: maximk2 on 05 November 2006, 18:22

eh the corrado came as a vr, 2.0 and 1.8 aswell as g60 no? it is possible to drift front drive cars too! find a big carpark and some trays, lock the back wheels onto the trays with handbrake and then jus try to keep it in a straight line!!! WARNING dont use the trays for very long or double them up as i learnt the hard way in my mini. Two 17 inch pirelli run-flats latter and 290 quid lighter in the pocket department  :sick:

Well I don't care what it looks like - VW needs to put some muscle into the GTI - I have an Anni on order and was costing how much it would be to turn my Anni into  a carbon monster - all reversible of course

I was meaning the only g60 they gave us was the corrado, and my point is that vw have held back some of there best motors from us. Mk1 16v (ottienger), G60 Golf/Rallye, VR6 snycro?(no sure about this though).

I think he was talking about the fact that only the Corrado G60's were right hand drive, the other G60s (Golf and Rallye) were both left hand drive.

I'm steering clear of you if that's what you get up to in a car park.

Anyway, I think it really ought to be either RWD or 4WD, cos as was evident in some cars, any more than 200BHP though the front wheels just gets you torque steer, and problems getting the power down.

Well I love it! Esp like the 4 seats and harnesses!

If it comes as FWD only then drivers will just have to learn some restraint in certain condidtions! :grin:

Those wheels are absolutely hideous. It certainly does look very 'jap', but you can't grumble at a production VW with 400 horsepower!

Title: Re: Concept R GTI Golf
Post by: CHR15 on 08 November 2006, 19:29

good mornin! they HAVE to make that car - although i know they wont because it'll outsell/power the equivelant audi!

nice thought tho

Title: Re: Concept R GTI Golf
Post by: AudiA8Quattro on 08 November 2006, 19:50

Is there a link for this? 400bhp is alot for a 2.0L turbo, considering most cars producing that sort of power are v8 turbo/supercharged  :laugh:
