i'm liking that interior, for once the white is not doing it for me, however, i can see this in carbon grey with some black lightweight wheels on

no parking sensors or heated seats tho! probably just a basic model im sure you can add them later but interestingly its a 6MT, I wouldve thought theyd limit it to DSG actually

stuff the ed40, im buying one of these! http://www.autobild.de/bilder/34.-gti-treffen-am-woerthersee-die-highlights-5750976.html#bild1

On a serious note, these are photos coming in from woerthersee, and are constantly updating (ie. the link is taking you to photo 1 which at the time of posting is a GTE Sport Concept, if you click in a hour it will most likely be a grandma's shopping cart that produces baby kittens out of the rear and for the record I do not want that!)

That looks like the lovechild of a Golf and a BMW i8. I quite like it.

I was hoping the exterior would be more like last year's Wolfsburg Edition which was quite subtle outside (ignoring the Corsa stripes) but the Clubsport interior looks cool if those are the standard seats (yeah, right!) rather than a option we probably won't be offered in the UK

I see no reason why the golf shouldnt be offered with bucket seats, yes theyre supposed to be more grown up than their siblings but its not like the options are there to VW...

The Scirocco R can still be ordered with buckets I think Graham.

Really loving the look of this......

Hm, not really doing it for me... It looks like they've changed the styling just because they had to...

The interior is nice and those bucket seats are gorgeous, I'd have them over standard any day. The name "Clubsport" sounds terrible though...makes me think of those "Chicken Club Sandwiches" you can but at your local supermarket for some reason? Haha. The fact they've put it on the side of the car is even worse. Should have stuck with simply "GTI Edition 40" The rear windows look too tinted compared to the fronts.

It's not as special as the MK5 Edition 30 was over the standard GTI in my opinion.

Pricing will be a huge issue. I suppose it will depend how tuneable this car turns out to be compared to the GTI but I'm guessing they share the same EA888 as the standard car so chances are not very..

One thing that made the Edition 30 stand out was how much potential the engine and K04 turbo charger had over standard.

I think it will be running the Golf R engine in de-tuned guise. Volkswagen wont develop a totally new engine and turbo configuration just for one model. 
The alloy wheels look like production versions to me 19"?
