Edition 40???

[2014GTi]

Having read the german motortalk.de site, the power will very close to the Golf R's 300ps output.....
265ps and 291ps with over-boost, so more than the Cupra 280 
I agree that it sounds like a Golf R but without the Haldex and de-tuned engine.... thats not a bad thing. Just hope Volkswagen stick with this spec for the actual model next year and make it available in 5 door guise.

its like groundhog day on this thread. YES its the Cupra 265 engine!!!!! lol

Anyway, just saw a comment that I hadnt thought of but is quite interesting. When this is released, and as some photos suggest it may have the double U in the DRL's, then we will be able to buy an oem part for the double U and keep the red line instead of having to go blue, just food for thought

For me this is more Clubsport, decent stoppers some light weight ATS racelights

Yep, you're not wrong there.

Front bumper has more subtle styling to boot (under the show car paint job).
And a return of the wheel arch spats in homage to the real GTI's too.
Those YTS Worthersee cars are far better than some of the full production models.

I think they should put the young guns in terms of product development, some are pure show, but this in carbon with red highlights and a slight tone down inside yes please

I was passing the delaers today.....they have a slightly different version of whats going on to how I understood it.

Apparently the "Clubsport" will be making production this year, to be offical at Frankfurt Motor Show...then followed by the ED40 at some point later.
Im unsure if this is based on any actual fact.....but to be fair this particular salesman is normally spot on with his info.

Why would VW release two ltd edition cars (clubsport and edition 40) in to an already crowded product range. The Clubsport must be the Edition 40 surely?

Thinking the same, it just wouldn't make sense.  It'll be hard enough pricing the ED40 between the R and GTI, never mind a seperate Clubsport model

Then dropping in an R400 just to completely muddy the waters. Overkill!

I totally agree.....Id expect just the ED40 to appear in reality....
Like I said im unsure if it was based on any fact...LOL
