R
« on: 09 April 2013, 20:41 »
Surely the race is on now for the R to be released with its closest and more powerful rival being released this week, the Mercedes A45 AMG. At £39k and 360 horses its gotta be a rival surely?

Anyone heard anything on the R or the S3?

And what about the rumours of an R with 225 bhp Diesel 4 wheel drive?

Unlikely imo - too close to the GTI market.

220KW would be impressive, but still not sure it would complete with AMG45. Hopefully VW does not think to price it in the same area. To me it should be cheaper than an S3. 4 exhausts seems a bit cheesy to me. OK for a V8, but four pipes on a 2l four pot seems a tad ricey.
