Gti and Clubsport back on website. No gti 50 yet.

My dealer has just said it’s imminent though.

I think I’d rather wade through the configurator in peace than sit through that load of waffle

I can't click any video link on that (all I see is a whatsApp screenshot!), but I'm guessing it's another "Sam A" video yeah?

The guy is a particularly hard watch.  :grin:

Obviously UK based folk will need to pre-order without driving an Edition 50. What's the best Mk8.5 Golf GTi to take for a test drive to get an idea of what the Ed50 will drive like? I still enjoy my 7 year old Mk7.5 GTi PP especially as there's no annoying traffic aids beeping at me all the time. The Ed50 is giving me Corrado Storm type vibes. I owned a green Storm for many years before selling it in 2015. I expect I will order a green Ed50.

I’ve got the same as you. 7.5PP. fantastic car, had it from new. I’d suspect if you’re wanting to test drive it will be an 8.5 clubsport with DCC. closest power and chassis wise, albeit clearly without the PP differences due on the ED50. Whether you’d see these differences on standard road driving I’m not sure of anyway. I suspect you’ll need to be really pushing on to feel these differences. I had a real hard time on colour, I was on the verge of ordering green, but I think I’m going red. Always wanted a proper red Gti!

Just need the damn order books to open…

Having recently changed from a 7.5 TCR to a Clubsport, I can say it's a really good move. The 8.5 has an urgency to the drive lacking in the 7.5 and despite reservations, I prefer the interior now. Yes, the safety bongs can be annoying but not anywhere near enough to put me off. The ride is better too. I was thinking about waiting for an Ed50 but had to have this one! From the press releases so far, I would be concerned with the ride quality of the Ed50 as spring rates are up but, I really, really want Tornado Red....

Yeah, Tornado Red is so iconic and probably the best red colour I've ever seen. Specifically for the GTI.
