I had all the information and price before I placed my order?
Information went out to dealers on 4th July with pricing and spec, I ordered mine on 21st July, slots were still available when I placed my order.
MSR - I think different dealerships were more up to speed than others ... I was the first CS-S order from Lookers Teesside on 20th July ... and at that point they had no idea about availability or price as the Price was not announced until the Launch in August to my knowledge ... Andrew
Incorrect I have an email from VW on 4th July with pricing and spec!
Well that information went live on desktop on 1st August so you did well to obtain it before:

All 150 units of the rarest production Golf GTI in history now allocated ahead of its official open for order date

VW0926-16
Get ready for the Golf GTI Clubsport S, the rarest production Golf GTI in history – with 150 coming to the UK from a global production run of just 400 units.
All 150 units allocated to the UK have sold out before the official open for order date of 2 August.
The Clubsport S builds on the appeal of the already highly-desirable Golf GTI Clubsport Edition 40, the most powerful production Golf GTI to date. It is a road-legal track car with a 310PS version of the 2.0 TSI engine, and has claimed the Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel-drive cars with a blistering time of 7 minutes 49.21 seconds.
Key dates
Start of production will be limited from week 36 (5 September) to week 49 2016
Market introduction/on sale as soon as the cars arrive in the UK at around week 40 (early October)
Product specification and pricing
No car configurator, brochure or price list will be available because of the strictly limited volume of the Clubsport S.
This limited production model is available exclusively as a three-door manual version and is only available in three colours: Tornado red, Pure white and Deep black. The only other option is the deletion of air-conditioning which, if requested, saves around 10kg.
The Golf GTI Clubsport S comes with the following specification highlights:
19-inch Pretoria alloys in grey with semi-slick tyres
A fine-tuned chassis with Dynamic Chassis Control and bespoke ‘Nurburgring’ setting
Discover Navigation with Car-Net Guide and Inform
Front heated bucket seats and no rear seats
Because of the minimalistic and weight-saving purpose of this car, some items from the GTI Clubsport Edition 40 are not available on the Clubsport S. These include spare wheel, front centre armrest, pre-crash basic, Driver alert system, mirror pack, parking sensors, Adaptive Cruise Control with front assist and City Emergency braking and Light and Sight pack.
The Clubsport S is priced at £33,995 OTR regardless of colour or air-conditioning choice.
Sales
We have received huge interest from a number of enthusiasts who have already placed orders with their local Retailer since the Clubsport S was first unveiled at Worthersee in May, and now all 150 have been allocated to Retailers. As announced in Desktop article VW0615-16 communication about allocations, these orders will be honoured.
Supply update
The production of these exclusive cars is only from build week 36 to 49 2016. We will not have any free stock, and will not be issuing demonstrators. These cars are for the Retail channel only and de-tagging requests will be refused.
