Edition 40???

[JamesR27]

Has anyone heard anything about a Mk7 Edition 40 coming out at any stage?

Its not been discussed anywhere beyond questions like yours as far as I am aware......

Where on earth would it fit into the lineup now is the question. Now that the GTI and R are not that far apart on price and we have 2 GTI variants already - standard and the PP. Not to mention the GTD and GTE!

Gunning for the Megane 275 Trophy would be nice, but I can't see it happening.

If it does happen, I reckon it would be basically a GTI PP with some visual "Edition 40" enhancements and possibly very slight tweaks to say brakes/suspension/engine breathing. I don't see them doing anything more than that. It would be done purely for the "limited edition" appeal more than anything.

I ordered my Edition 30 as soon as the order book opened in very early November 2006, and the first cars were on the road from early February 2007, so I wouldn't expect to see any launch until the latter half of 2016 at the very earliest.

A variation of the GTI PP with some different styling and standard equipment with the SEAT Leon 280 engine would be a nice touch

I was assuming the R400 was homage to the brand instead of an edition 40. Would struggle to slot into the lineup otherwise

[Mark V GTD]

As a 'Special Edition' it doesn't have the same requirement to 'slot in the line up' as regular cars do. People will always buy it because its a one-off :-)

On the basis that the Ed35 had a little more power than the Ed30, I would expect them to do something to the current Performance pack engine, even if it warms it up to 240 bhp, before adding a few badges and 19" wheels.
