Sounds very appealing but I'm still not convinced about the "lemon yellow" accents.

It says in one article that the final production car will also be aesthetically more conservative in comparison to the concept car.

Very off topic, but here are the details of the Audi RS3 Sportback, 362 bhp, 0-60 in 4.3 secs. Strange it is not as powerful or as fast as the Golf R400.

Probably leaves room for an RS Plus version in a year or so, as there has been with the TTRS and RS6 in the past

Re-mapping a 7R or adding a DTUK box will make it faster. Cheap solution for erstwhile owners. However, bang goes the VW Warranty. Nightmare if the turbo goes bang! Anyway, too risky for me.
