R Teaser pic

Back to topic.

If they launch the Golf R at Frankfurt in September and said first deliveries would be say Feb 2014, I'd definitely cancel my GTI.

Quite a shocker that matey!

Need more power?
Fancy four wheel drive?
Or just sick of waiting for your GTI PP?

It won't be much under £30k y'know. Plus I strongly doubt you'll get anywhere near 10-13% discounts. That's a lot of spondoolies

If things go the way they did when the Mk6 R was released, there will be UK demo stock and early customer cars in January with more arriving in March/April. Or based on your experiences with the GTI/D sometime between then and the end of universe... 

Depending how they spec it, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same price as the S3.

When I visited VW UK at Goodwood they weren't even sure we'd get the R here, after the slow sales of the Mk6.

I think the R will be 30,500 smacaroons but will come with a lot of kit as standard as supposed to the S3 where you need to spend several K more to get it to something similar to the GTI spec.

Hey H50. Well the wait has been long. I just have a bad feeling it may be late October/early November before I see my GTI PP.

I always wanted the R. It's just that I thought I would have had the GTI by now and the R would have been another 9 months. The gap won't be that much now.

I agree the discount won't be nearly as much as 12.5%. But something nevertheless.

I'm just floating the idea right now though. Need more information first.

Is that a 6CYL I can hear in the distance?

waiting with interest for the R, for me the R will always be more desirable than the S3 as it is the better drivers car and more fun and generally rarer

Is that real or a photoshop?  The front, yet again, is too understated.

But the rest - wow!

Deffo a photoshop as the wheels fill the arches too well!

Having done a few google searches I think it is also unofficial but it's the same pic that keeps coming up so whether VW are leaking it I don't know.
