The Scirocco GTS has red stripes on its seat belts so I'm going to guess that will make an appearance on an ED40 as they're in the parts bin.
The Cupra 280 engine has now found it's way into the Skoda Superb so a version of that is a very likely suspect.
The R400 is hovering in the wings waiting to make a statement from the VW group as a whole "Nobody makes hatches better than VW and here's the technology we have at our disposal and versatility of the MQB"
There's still a chance the R400 will be a celebration of 40 years of performance Golfs so could still yet be badged as a GTI and R or cleverly marketed as an R product that pays homage to the GTI? Who knows...

Id agree with Exonian

I could see the ED40 having the 280ps engine with PP standard...maybe even the ACC aswell.

That would be tempting. Knowing VW I think it would be 260ps tops though.

Maybe a worthersee surprise or a Frankfurt debut, VW seem to keep the big launches for Frankfurt

In the spirit of the 30 and 35 detuned R engine would be fitting, i'd like to see VW be a bit bolder and make it more hardcore

There were many hints about lightweight panels in the early days of mk7 production so now's VW's chance as a warm up limited run exercise before maybe the practice is adopted more in mk8 guise? We can but hope!  :grin:

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:).
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.
