Have someone found the full tech spec?  :wink:

It is the Golf R enginee?

Front Brake calipers!, New ones?, or some that Cupra uses?

When first testdrive?  :smiley:

They say its got a different turbo to the gti and different radiator... Must be something from somewhere else in vag though, this isn't a super special car, it's a serial production version.

After some very quick, and poorly calculated, figures I think the Clubsport will be around £500pm on finance with similar discounts that you can get on the gti factored in. No deposit or options. Just discount taken into account.

If the clubsport has the same gfv as the gti (as I believe it did with the ed40) then I’m leaving the country.  :laugh:

The tcr seemed to have exactly the same gfv as a normal gti, despite its list price being something like 7k more (after they 'bundled' the akra exhaust)

Which is why it offered such poor value to me.

Really?? Jesus.

Only a matter of time before those exhausts start getting cut off cars as the MK7 gets cheaper too.

GTi Clubsport revealed;-

Now that does look fantastic!!!  :cool:

I agree, looks great. Saw a white mk8 on the roads yesterday- definitely looks good in white, to my eyes at least.
Shame it’s so heavy.

probably why they offered it at 0% finance which in recent years I haven't seen on many VW's let alone performance ones.

One positive of it not being limited edition: discount should be readily achievable.

Or just the Golf R setup with less boost?   :wink:
