It was similar when the Monza's went to the Austin's. The perspective of the Monza's got squashed and a lot of folk were not keen on them at first.

Each to their own though  :grin:

I think the UK spec GTE's come with Serrons. A friend and forum member here drove one recently so I'll try and find his photos.
There's also a GT spec mk7 that parks around the corner from me that has Serrons fitted too. They look pretty good.

Going back to the Clubsport, I think a lot of the bits on the Worthersee show car will be options or just removed from UK spec, whether it appears as an ED40 or Clubsport.
I reckon 18's will come as standard and id be surprised if the bucket seats don't make an appearance at least as an option on the R400.
I still think 400/420 (with over boost like the Clubsport?) BHP is a hell of a lot for a 2.0 4 cylinder road car so really hope the power isn't all top heavy with a turbo that isn't responsive at low revs (which was the impression I got from a short ride in the passenger seat of one of those AMG A Class thingies).

And jackie treehorn: it's a defined R engine in the Clubsport, not a mapped GTI.

I'm sure I can remember reading that these were the optional 19" alloys and it would come with 18" as standard. The bucket seats look fantastic though.

I'm glad they've sorted the track width, particularly at the back, it looks great lower and wider.

I can't help but think this car is going to do the Clubsport name a disservice. Unless I'm mistaken the whole Clubsport ethos is about stripping weight, and creating a more driver focussed car, not just creating something that is visually appealing that has more power. The wheels alone look like they weigh a tonne! I guess we'll see.

It's a show car so probably wearing spacers and dropped suspension. Don't get your hopes up!  :grin:

The Alcantara steering wheel and rear spoiler are negatives for me.

Are the seats an older RS4 design?
Now = 2011 MK6 GTI - Reflex Silver
Past = 2006 MK5 GTI - Tornado Red and Solid Black

Really like that front bumper.
