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  :whistle:

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.

All the above, it all makes sense. Let’s see what Wednesday brings

Personally, I think you’re right there Fred.

Is Andrew not slagging it off already?  :grin:

He’s really not an R fan.

Ah... love a Countdown Clock.

Took me a while to track down on YouTube.

By my reckoning it’s 8am GMT (9am CET)

Can’t believe it I’m going to be driving down M5 when it’s unveiled. Think a trip into services will be required :grin: :grin: :grin:

he seems to like the new 8 and appears excited by them.

Andrew had had a few issues with the R down the years which has led to him not being a fan and then continually saying in videos that he doesn’t like it. Which I totally understand. I did chuckle when he started his series of ‘Why the INSERT CAR NAME is better than the R’ videos though.

It’s Here

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-volkswagen-golf-r-lands-316bhp-improved-handling

https://www.evo.co.uk/volkswagen/21153/2020-volkswagen-golf-r-revealed-316bhp-and-torque-vectoring-rear-differential

Interesting that there doesn’t seem to be any head on photos of the new car? :whistle:

So it’s 320ps after all. Wonder if there is anything further to announce at the “premiere” on Wednesday morning?
