Looking at the R forum it seems there are plenty enough (considering the low numbers to be sold) people that think nothing of spending that sort of money on a Golf 'just because' so it'll sell well enough for the purposes intended.
400bhp in a road car? You're not going to get to use much of it considering it's a 2.0 engine meaning it will have to have a huuuuge turbo meaning pretty much all of the performance will be at licence using territory in the UK.
People that can afford it will buy it because they can.
I think the best thing about it is the fact it can be done and it's good to see VW doing something mad like that.
Shame they didn't use blue trims for the grille like the G60 Limited from 1990 or thereabouts in the old Volkswagen Motorsport colour but the lemon must mean something same as the VXR thingy.
