i'm liking this, in some ways buckets, half cage and bits floats my boat a bit more than the R400

Really hoping VW take this seriously and it doesn't just become a not really very exciting ED40. As said earlier, Clubsport should be all about vehicle weight reduction and increased driver involvement/fun. Carbon roof, lightweight trim panels, increased aero, lighter wheels and brakes etc. More 968/CSL/R26.R.

The Clubsport would have a pretty limited appeal with cage and buckets, so therefore VW should press on and make it like that to really have a special car on their hands. It'd probably be very sought after in years to come too.

The German chap who was with the R400 at GTI international last weekend told me that both the ED40 and the Clubsport would be reaching production........2 vehicles......with different spec.

He claimed to be the person responsible for the R400 concept and had worked on the Clubsport demo.
Ive no idea if he was in the position to offer such information...??

It looks quite good on the outside in most respects.
http://www.carscoops.com/2015/05/vw-details-golf-gti-clubsport-releases.html

But:
(1) FWD. Even with all the trickery, the wheels will spin and tramp. Just like RWD.
(2) Even though the integration of the rear spoiler is quite good, the size of it is very boy racer.
(3) The Red Lipstick through the headlights is tacky. Just as bad as the yellow for the R400.
(4) The Red bit that breaks the black on the steering, is very Type R and tacky.
(4) Those front seats with their massive bolsters will be a nightmare to enter and exit and will wear like no tomorrow. Also, to these eyes, the massiveness of those front seats makes for an oppressive looking cabin. I shed a tear for the occupants in the rear. Personally, I feel that the front seats look ugly.

Perhaps I might grow to accept it and even possibly like it.

That's all.

ETTO.

Looks very smart to me

Maybe a little hint at the MK8 GTI and what kind of BHP they will have or be starting with.
