Hi Took my car in for service armed with everyones advice - no major issues which was good.
Had a quick chat with the salesmen over an R32 they had displayed. During the conversation he made reference to a new fast golf coming out.
He didnt/couldnt give anything away just said it was going to be special and not the gti replacement and to expect news towards middle/end of this year.
Anyone else heard anything R36?? or something else.
Was he feeding me a line or have I missed something that everyone knows
Cheers

Special edition is going to be the RS, based on the Thunder Bunny Concept (Find it in google) It will look like this but there is still speculation on what the engine will be. Some say the R36 engine as a development car has been seen with this bodykit on.

If this car is cheaper than an Ed30 and uses less fuel, then maybe so. I think it's the people who have just bought an R32 who are going to be slightly miffed :grin:

....Not again!! You need some wet-proof over-trousers, Nick. Mine are lined and very comfortable :cool:
-
ok, if its less than what i paid then i will be pissed!
-
I really really hope....this doesnt happen :smiley:
-
Why not???
I would love to see this happen!! Make my next car choice alot easier... Im just too hooked on the sound n speed the R32 gives with ease. No drama. Any gear. Foot down. Listen to the sound and dont forget to keep one eye on the speedo!
Bring on the R36 :grin: :grin:
-
C'mon, it will have a 300hp engine, and it is not really going to be THAT fast. Take R32, put a turbo on it and it is done! One guy has 440hp/585Nm R32 (turboed ny HGP). o-60 in 3.98seks and 290kmh. Now, who needs R36? :rolleyes:
-
Thanks for that - looks quite nice apart from the wheels which arnt that suited to my taste but bet itll be good though with 300hp
Wont get to excited then thought it might be a flared arch 2.0t/2.5t special with bodywork like last years nurburgring 24hr entrant would have put money down for that - never got over selling my Rallye 15 years ago
R32/R36 great car but too thirsty for the 20kpa miles I do. Just have to read the posts of those that can run them.
Cheers

R36 is not going to happen for some time.
Audi TTS has happened, though! But it is not cheap! :shocked: Still, 5.2 to 100kmh with 270hp/350Nm, that gives it some tuning potential! :drool:
-
If they want to make an RS golf then why dont they just put the RS4 engine in it and restrict the bhp to 350 !

It'd be a bit heavy up front with a V8 under the bonnet :undecided:

It'd be a bit heavy up front with a V8 under the bonnet :undecided:
not if they make it rear-wheel / 4 wheel drive

If they made it 4WD as well it'd have it's own gravity field :laugh:
