Good find Smiffy.

So it looks about what we expected.
Some lightweight stuff, the bumper scoops off last years Worthersee offering, the Cupra engine (the 265ps version) and a few 'unique' bits of trim.
Best get saving...  :cool:

+1.

Will it be a limited run. I hope they make them in another colour as I'm not big on white cars.
Pure white and oryx white are the best visually for the mk7 gtd & gti. I've seen a lot of red and black but white just looks the better colour (sorry to the gti red purists  :wink:).

Sadly 'tis a fact that white works best on the mk7, and quite a lot of other modern cars right now.
All of VW's press release stuff and the early motorshow mk7 GTI's were all white (oryx mostly) as that's the best colour to show them off in. It just works.
Nearly every GTI in my locality and at least 50% of the R's are white so I'd dearly love a colour that looked great but stood out from the others. However I think the common denominator is white was ordered for a reason by all of the above owners, not just because it's about £300 cheaper than metallic  :laugh:
If I was ordering again? I might give silver a shot but it doesn't look as good as white on a GTI.

That does look good and nice find. I am very tempted already and as Exonian said White does really suit the mk7 but I think I would favour silver to be different.

Believe it or not I'm doing the same with my next car. I love the white against the deep black trim and wheels but I need a colour now and it's either silver or carbon grey if I get another mk7 golf.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

Lucky I am saving for my next car i guess.  The only thing is which one to aim for R400 or GTI Clubsport?  Realistically I know I would more likely be able to afford a GTI clubsport than a R400, especially after building a PC workstation beast next year for 3D modeling and animation.  The concept pics for the GTI clubsport look awesome.  Will definitely be watching out for this car with anticipation that it hits production.

After owning an Oryx White presently I would definitely go for it again.  It is the only colour for me, unless they release the silky metallic grey colour you see on the R400 pics.

I agree if they did the r400 colour, or I would like the original mk1 gti diamond silver would be nice.

I am looking forward to the Golf GTI Edition 40 and R420.
Not sure which I will buy but definitely needs to be in 5 door guise.

The GTI Ed 40 could prove a very fun package as it will still be a lighter car compared to the current Golf R.

Exciting times, let's hope Volkswagen build both.

I would also need the car to be in 5 door guise.  Looks like next year could be a very exciting year for us VW fans.  :smiley:
