« on: 13 August 2009, 17:50 »
Just appeared on Autocar website. Looks like it will get the R32 tailpipes and some enlarged intakes in the front bumper

Just added them on twitter.

Looks like a direct R32 replacement. They have just swapped a great engine for a more tunable one with low emissions  :angry:

Fingers crossed for 4wd although going off a specced up mk5 gti i can see this being in the £30k+ territory! Ill take a second hand S3 thanks  :cool:

and R20 looks like it has colour coded side skirts and not black ones as the standard GTi has.No doubt rear diffuser will be colour'd too.

Mmm at last some closer evidence.

Hoping we see the full version at Frankfurt in a couple of weeks.

Is ot me or are those the LED tail lights from the Worthersee model?

Am I right in saying that it uses the old MK5 engine because the MK6 unit doesn't cut it?

Oh dear spaced, don't start that off! The mk6 boys are very competitive!

Bit off topic, but Topcat is your rear valance actually carbon fiber or is it wrapped? Looks great.

As for the R20, it's goona have to be special to improve on the drama of the R32.
