Great find, just configured an R and came out at 50,000 euros  :shocked:

Just over 500 euros for the 'virtual cockpit' - that seems good value though, I thought they'd charge a lot more for that.

500 euros for virtual cockpit, bargain! That's about 700 quid now isn't it?

Well worth it IMO.  It's much better than standard dials, and if it can be customised like the Audi one then it would be one of the first options I'd tick.

I find the front valance more appealing in white as it shows the angles off much better, the back valance looks more fussy and I am still not a fan of the side skirts as they are very similar to the GTi side skirts.  The side skirts on the current MK7 Golf R look better, and much deeper making the car look closer to the ground than the new MK7.5 gloss black side skirts do. 

Not a bad looking car but I feel I may prefer the MK7 Golf R at present.  However I suspect I may change my mind a little when I finally see one in the flesh, who knows?

If virtual cockpit is 500 euros then it'll be available in the UK at 1000 pounds.

A bit like the Santiagos are a €1300 option over 17" swastika alloys in the Fatherland and we have to pay £1000ish on top of 18" swastikas on a GTI up until now.  :rolleyes:

Then again the standard spec on UK mk7 GTI's and GTD's has been good so I'll not moan too much.

Wouldn't be surprised if the dash is standard here in Ireland. The highline (GT?)? top spec Passats and Tiguan have it here so I expect the top spec Golf's will too.

The German configurator is no indication of what's available in other markets.

Any idea where the extra BHP comes from, ECU software or upgraded parts?

But to get the Virtual Cockpit you must choose the "Radio "Composition Media" @ €440 so it costs €950 to add it.

Yes, that sums it up perfectly for me as well.
