If you've already ordered and end up getting a my20 built car then the price will be what's agreed. The R with the spec I'm looking at is now way cheaper than the TCR and the GTi performance is waaaaay cheaper still. Just need to justify to myself that a new 7.5 is the way to go and not just changing for the sake of it  :whistle:

If this was state when ordered I would have 💯 just selected another R as I would take the AWD over the Akrapovich for my ££

I only went for TCR as it sat between GTI performance and the R and given minimal options worked out cheaper than going with another R

Unless a total enthusiast and desperately want one (who would have likely ordered already) this may kill the TCR orders as R takes them up

Thats going to make the TCR a hard sell against the R, that is unless the R also gets an Akra as standard and equivalent price rise?

Good news though for people who’ve already ordered. Can’t be bad for used prices! Have to agree that at current cost the TCR doesn’t stack up.
Current: Clubsport45, white, DCC.

Past: Mk5 gti blue graphite, mk6 gti carbon grey, mk6 gti edition 35 candy white, Mk7 pp gti tornado red, 2016 Audi S3 sportback, 2019 7.5 Golf R.

The DTD site which has proved to be accurate has the R at same price so the Akrapovich will likely remain the £3k option

Think this change will alienate the just generally interested but where value to pound is still really important and they choose the R and leave the TCR to the real enthusiast or to those who have financial capacity to take on the increase as Akrapovich is just a nice to have

Week 29 is circa July 15th so imagine mine is after given October delivery

Could also mean build slots running down and this cools flow but still likely enough orders to complete the run

July 15th would count me out as mine is due to be built in the next couple of weeks.

When is your expected delivery?

Not sure of mine, never bothered asking but will check though suspect mine is a post week 29 build given mid October delivery (arrive late September for PDI?)- will stick to stance that it’s a really nice to have but it’s not a must have and know would be happy to receive car just as ordered

I got a message on the app about 3 weeks ago but clicked on it without reading it (thinking the info would be in the app - but it isn’t) so missed the date. From what I read that’s usually an indication of being 4 weeks away from build so expect build to start next week possibly.

App shows build week confirmed still.

Has the full MY20 changes been released? I skimmed the thread and couldn't see a full breakdown, only snippets.

Only seen snippets, not sure if that is everything or not.

One positive on missing out on the Akra is it won't take me over the 40k and increase my tax I guess.

Honesty, as someone who likes a leery exhaust, the TCR as it supplies has a deep resonant sound when you put your foot down. It doesn't sound forced so I wouldn't be glum about not getting it optioned.
