So that's an ed45 with optional plus pack. The plus pack gives you ninteens, akra and cup2 tyres?

And the ed45 is just a clubby.

Shame they don't appear to have made enough effort on a "real" Edition car?

The current Clubsport, appears to be nothing more than a comprehensive "Performance Pack" over the base GTi.

A good thing as one is needed in the range, it seems we may have all got our hopes up a little too much? :)

The Ed45 is a package for the CS. I’m going to try to decipher what you actually get in it. If I have time...

Think I can see a derestricted top speed in there to 167mph.
Akra exhaust with titanium pipes.
Black roof and mirror caps.

Obviously the Configurator doesn’t work but you get the idea.

No, the current Mk8 clubby is more than the old GTI vs GTI PP. It does have some quite different engine and external physical differences.

What is new here is that "ED45" is an option pack for the clubby, like the "performance pack" for both the old Mk7 Golf R and the curent Mk8 R.

I guess that's just another way of marketing it - maybe by doing it like that they get around some WLTP testing or something. Its not another model, its an option pack.

Fred, I can read the specs and I  did use the word comprehensive, it is a step up, but no bespoke aero, seats..... the Ed45 with the pack may have the potential to be more of a special version. heres hoping.

Apparently there are going to be bespoke seats. It’s just that the Configurator doesn’t show them yet and I can’t speak the language.  :grin:

When you select a particular option this happens... This indicates that the option is loaded I presume.
