Longer video here of the one I posted earlier from twitter.

Did anyone else get the Golf R advert from VW after watching this?

 ""VW pointing out that the massaged engine features a water-cooled exhaust gas duct for the turbo built right into the cylinder head.""

Thoughts on that?.

We’ve built this with plenty of plastic components to give dealers plenty of out of warranty work between year 3 and year 4/5

More seriously, sounds quite technical and I presume meant to show that engine has been worked on to give it even better response than previous gen engine.

I’m sure that someone with better engine knowledge will confirm if they see this as a good thing

Here’s an interesting idea from the R forum regarding the two power levels. Is one for the hatch and one for the estate?

Ahh! I was reading the R Forum but zoned out when they started talking estates. Maybe that is the plan. My idea about two different R hatch versions has its flaws ( like close proximity to each other). It would make for clearer distinction between models (hatch and estate) and make clear that an R hatch was top dog.

No, not at the end of this clip. But since then I’ve seen two R related adverts.

1 was another teaser for Golf R reveal on 4th of Nov but this one featured Arteon R being driven somewhere rather than T-Roc R in the earlier Teaser.

Then I saw an advert for R Division saying we are great and looking after planet with future electric performance and Tanner Foust seemed to be in it and a shot of the Golf R.

Well, whatever the plan, we’ll find out soon. Glad the idea wasn’t completely absurd!

I still reckon there is a R-Performance version with just enough extra power plus Akra exhaust, different wheels and maybe some different seats and some stickers....to tempt you to spend a few grand more on it.

And we all know there will be plenty who won't be able to stop themselves from having the "ultimate R"...

Its almost like VW understand their customer base 

Additionally it could also be a way of having a R for list price under 40k for those who refuse to pay the bandit tax.
