not seen one of these before!

i don't think so. however it is one of a kind and i doubt another one exists, so an obscene amount of rocking horse sh1t tax would have been on that price.

still want though 

and a f$ck off big supercharger 

Why? R32 lump is leagues ahead and is a much better engine, don't forget that is still only the old block and 12v head.

Yup...
Lighter engine, better revving...more power.

This 3.2 must be a low revving torque monster...and I'd hate to try to refresh it at 3.2 litres...it must be close to the limits on bore size.

Sounds like it's still on standard valve sizes too...Hmm...
Makes you wonder how much good the cams/capacity are actually doing.

The rebore puzzles me to be honest, having seen a bare block and worked on a few, they do not have a lot of meat in the cylinder block unless they have changed the crank which I doubt however it does say modified crank whatever that means.

They must have.
I didn't think you could go much over 3.0/3.1 on pistons alone...must be a stroker crank.
I suspect 'modified' crankshaft either means 'changed to a longer stroke crank' or it's been offset ground on the big ends.
At the cost of the conversion, I'd expect a long stroke crank.
So a lower revving, torquey 3.2.

Doesn't state the cam choice either...
I can't believe a reputable tuner would go to the lengths of a new crank, pistons, cams, Schrick manifold...and keep the standard valve sizes either!
Must have Schrick valves...+2mm.

At the cost, I'd expect so.

You can clearly see in the pics its a VR6 engine due to the trim either side of the manifold. Also the manifold looks like a poorly made cross between the standard and schrick one.

If its being dubbed as a R32, has he added the 12 extra valves?

(i havnt read the 3 pages, cba, so if its a repost, apologies)

Nope it is still only a 12v

who in their right mind pays £45k for a Golf, are they safe to be walking the streets.

how much does the new Golf R cost by the time you've added some options?

It's a bog standard Schrick, with their logo machined off by the looks of it, and a R32 badge stuck on.

[Ess_Three]

how much does the new Golf R cost by the time you've added some options?

Just over £40k with every option, including leather Recaro buckets, Sat Nav and DSG.

Yep but I would never spend £40k plus on a Golf not when you look at other options.
