Car looks grumpy.

I may have to retract my earlier statement

Silver mirror covers seem a direct Audi S rip off.

Still looks a bit Bland IMHO. Don't know why but I prefer the GTI.

I wish they would go hard core with the Golf R, make it fully mental  >:D

True, it is just like the A3 exhaust setup.

I was thinking about these:

Be good if they took some Audi RS cues and made the Golf R a bit angrier by pumping the guards a bit.

are they using the TFSI engine again?  with med9.1 or they moving to 12 on these?

The EA113 engine is no more. It was superceded by the EA888, and that is what the MK7 R and current S3 both use = 221kW.

I had a good look through a white 3 door MK7 R at Frankfurt last weekend, it's very cool 8)

so they using the tsi engine in the  R!?  have they made a bigger turbo for it now?   what is the power difference  gti/R? 
Title: Re: Mk7 R?
Post by: james on September 23, 2013, 12:17:41 PM
how lame... same setup as a gti engine.   no real wow factor other than you can 100% disable the ESP.


they should of use the 2.5 >:D that would of been epic!

Seen a few clips on YouTube and I like it.

Seems like they've improved it overall over the outgoing MK6. 

I've seen the expected cost in the US to be 36k USD?

NZ cars start from $68,500 for the manual - woohoo

:laugh:

http://www.volkswagen.co.nz/new-cars/golf-r/

If you click on the latest spec sheets; the manual R is slower, thirstier and dirtier than the DSG.

But look at the corresponding GTI figures and the DSG and manual GTI are pegged for acceleration, the manual has higher top speed and is thiriftier and cleaner.

The reverse of the MY08 Mk5 GTI manual/DSG.

That's progress ?

:o

I had a back to back test drive of the Mk6 and 7 Golf R's last weekend. The new one is leagues ahead. Such a great all rounder.
Made me want one REAAAALLLLYYY bad.

Only gripes is that the bigger screen and DCC aren't standard fare, but thats VW for you.

Traditionally the AWD Golfs have never been the best to drive but this one appears to be the best so far.

R vs. GTI Performance Pack ?

Let's see what the GTI Clubsport brings...

;D
